I beckon you to a wondrous journey a pilgrimage into an exploration of you and of the specific world you inhabit: your history, your people, your struggles and joys, your everyday and intimate relationships, your future hopes. This beckoning from me to you is based on a personal conclusion: over a period of 35 years of working in various areas of counseling and therapy, I have realized that it is possible for individuals and couples to promote a substantial part of their own continuing growth and discovery by using some "guideposts" that other people might provide.This pilgrimage is divided into two main sections: "ME" and "US." The "ME" section will be devoted to you.and, if you choose so, the "US" section will allow you to be in intimate dialogue and presence with other people, especially the individual whom you have chosen (or might choose in the future) to consistently share your life Consequently, it is my intent to directly beckon you to "insert" yourself your thoughts, your feelings, your tentative or firm conclusions, your fears, and your resolve into the scenario of your own life .
