"Paul embodies a high level of presence, attentiveness, clarity in thought, intelligence, curiosity, and enthusiasm…These qualities exist in conjunction with his more human qualities of warmth, caring, friendliness, empathy, compassion, and joy. These are not divorced from practical affairs, his impeccable work, assertiveness, and clinical-knowledge…If my description of Paul paints a picture of a wonderful human being, it is because he is."

Founder of The Wisdom Therapy Institute

 

"Paul is a thoughtful and caring clinician who demonstrates excellent skills in his work. In sessions, Paul uses a wide range of interventions to assist his clients in developing a deeper sense of awareness about themselves. He is skillful in helping clients express emotions, clarify thinking patterns, and address underlying issues…He considers his client’s social-cultural background and existing strengths and takes time to establish a strong therapeutic alliance. He uses techniques to help clients develop affect regulation, access internal resources, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and develop impulse control…His clients are engaged and consistently show good improvement."

"Aside from his obvious intellectual talent, Paul is, very simply, an extremely nice person. He is considerate, calm, sensitive, and gives the impression of compassion and wisdom far beyond expectations. I recommend him without reservation."

"Paul worked as a hospice volunteer [i.e., grief counselor] in my program…with so much maturity of compassion and insight…had no agenda except to want to help others; to be part of the ‘solution’ instead of the ‘problem.’ Paul’s heart is the starting point for his actions."
