"I deeply appreciate Jim's gentle, healing manner. I like his insight and helpfulness when he is working with people."
Ken Keyes, Jr., author: "Handbook To Higher Consciousness"
"I cannot put in words how much I appreciate the help I have received from Jim over the course of almost 20 years. His insight, compassion, wisdom, and humor have all helped me to overcome obstacles to personal growth and fulfillment and guided me through many tough times, showing me how to make the best of everything. He continues to teach me how to use mindfulness to turn my inner gremlins into allies, enabling me to grow up, get out of my own way, enjoy my humanity, and make every moment of this precious life matter. I feel the deepest gratitude for the opportunity to have him as my mentor on this life's journey. Namaste"

Making The Moment Matter
SELF DISCOVERY is a path of inquiry, choice, responsibility and empowerment. While self improvement is a common goal, self discovery is an uncommon path towards reaching that goal. Attention is a primary tool of self discovery, and Jim’s approach to working with people on personal, interpersonal, professional, existential, or spiritual issues starts with training in strengthening and managing the resource of attention. The very problems that bring you to Jim become the training ground for development.
Through Making The Moment Matter®, Jim’s approach to self-discovery, you are trained in the principles and mechanics of how you organize your experience moment-to-moment. Getting beyond your own psychology is one result of this training. This is why the program often attracts people in the field of psychology.
Jim mostly works with individuals via telephone. New clients inevitably describe their surprise at how present, intimate, deep, and effective the sessions are. The work is practical and experiential. Jim’s goals are to help clients take responsibility for their experience in the moment, become free of automatic responses, and ultimately become bigger than anything the universe throws their way.
In general, Making the Moment Matter® works best with people who, while having problems or concerns they want to deal with, are self directed and want to be their own therapist through life’s challenges. They value developing a spacious sense of self, clarity of perspective, and a focus towards action.
Phone sessions tend to be 90 minutes to two hours, weekly or every other week. Rates are described on the Rates Page. Clients may opt to visit Jim in person for intensive work and Jim is also available on a per situation basis to travel to your location for training or crisis intervention.

Making the Moment Matter...
There is no escaping having “a story”. It’s what sustains our myth of a consistent identity from one moment to the next, enabling us to pay our bills and brush our teeth. A goal of my work is to give you the understanding and tools to locate yourself outside your story, from where you can have better perspective, respond more effectively, and experience the joy of freedom. Just because ‘all God’s chillun’ gotta have a story doesn’t mean you have to be lost in yours.
To help people get beyond their stories and become their own therapists, I created Making the Moment Matter and authored its accompanying workbook in 1994. Since then the program has helped people from many stages of life get bigger than whatever the universe throws their way. I am currently finishing up the book, "Making the Moment Matter; An Introduction to the Alchemy of Experience".
