Parent Coaching

Often times we are faced with parenting challenges that we do not know the answers to and we just struggle and resign ourselves to do nothing. George has over 20 years experience in the helping professions and can answer your questions. He can show you how to parent more intuitively and effectively.

George uses an attachment parenting and child-centered approach to parenting that respects and honors the child's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. He is an empathetic and intuitive therapist with the ability to "see" beyond the symptoms of behavior to the soul of the child. George coaches the entire family to reach their highest potential as a loving family. He does this through observation of the family and how the members interact with one another. And also through a feedback session of what he "sees" the family's challenges to be.

George then draws up a parenting plan that includes homework for the family to complete. Lastly, he does a follow up session to see how the family has been able to incorporate the goals set in the parenting plan. Follow up sessions are key to maintain the new family lifestyle and to answer any new questions or challenges that arise.If you're interested in parent coaching, write for your free parent coaching questions.

Therapy, Life Coaching, and Intuitive Healer

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Life Coach, and Intuitive Healer. I enjoy working with individuals, groups, children and adolescents. My passion is empowering others to reach their highest potential. I have an eclectic style which draws from the humanistic, cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and strategic therapies. I focus on removing negative thinking and conditioning that keeps you stuck in your limiting beliefs. I believe we all have a core greatness within us and when we tap into what our highest good is we have unlimited potential.

I've worked in the non-profit sector for over twenty years and in that time, I have worked in many different capacities and have had a broad range of experiences that cover many areas of the field. Currently my main purpose is to use my wisdom, experience, and creativity to empower, inspire, and support others to find their true calling in life and to attain it. I do this through a combination of therapy and life coaching techniques. One of the most powerful ways I use is guided meditations and visualizations.

I lead a powerful workshop entitled "Change Your Thoughts and Change Your Life." This can be a life changing experience for those who are ready and up to the challenge of removing the negative conditioning from their lives so they can attain the things they want. I also lead the South Bay Success Principles which is a group in which I teach life mastery techniques and other empowerment principles.

I also lead a 10 week group entitled "Self Empowerment for Children." I have led school based therapy services for elementary, middle, and high school children. This includes directing a pre-school day treatment for children with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. I have also led groups for children with special needs including ADHD and Gifted and Talented. I was the co-founder, President and CEO of Solutions 4 Families, Inc. which provides parenting classes for the Santa Ana Unifed School District.

Currently I just completed my first book on parenting and I am starting a second on homeschooling. I reside in Long Beach, CA. with my lovely wife and daughter and our two dogs and one cat. I am available for motivational speaking engagements, therapy, life coaching, parent and family coaching. For more information please call 1-877-774-9333.
