He works with people facing life changes, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and intimacy-related issues.

That can mean looking at family-of-origin wounds, blended family dynamics, or fatherhood issues. He also addresses practical concerns like communication problems and coping skills for daily stress.

He works with people on forgiveness, grief, and rebuilding intimacy after loss or conflict. He includes care for those managing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, or compassion fatigue alongside mood concerns.
Over his career he has worked across a broad range of adult issues and life stages. His work often blends conversation about emotions with attention to relationship patterns. People can expect a focus on clear communication, understanding family patterns, and building manageable coping strategies.

How his approaches shape online work
Gottman Method focuses on how people interact in relationships. It uses practical exercises and communication skills to reduce conflict and build better patterns. This method is often used for issues around intimacy, communication problems, and recurring relationship arguments.Psychodynamic therapy looks at how earlier relationships and life experiences influence current feelings and behavior. It involves talking through patterns, memories, and emotional responses to make sense of ongoing struggles, which can help with grief, family-of-origin issues, and long-standing anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ken will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy continues and adjusted when necessary.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can fit a work break, or not needing to travel can save time. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when schedules or geography make in-person meetings difficult.
