Who do you take your dating advice from, a nun or a sinner? In addition to having degrees in behavioral psychology I have been known to have had quite a healthy amount of time spent in the pursuit of the perfect relationship. I have seen what common elements and patterns are present in both successful and those that may be a bit more regretful. By identifying these patterns those involved in a relationship can change the easily anticipated outcome and steer the relationship into a more satisfying direction. Unfortunately those that are directly involved in the relationship are usually the ones least able to identify the problem areas. Sometimes it takes a person who is familiar with many such aspects of human behavior and with no connection to those involved to best intercede with an objective viewpoint. That is what I do.

Getting Started With Jerry Stafford
One of my greatest gifts is the uncanny ability to procrastinate, it does not matter what the project is, I can delay its commencement until the last moment. However it is at this time when I begin to shine. During the writing of my best selling book “The Bartender’s Guide to Behavioral Psychology” deadlines were always a mere tick of the clock away, but it is with that intensity and pressure that some of my best thoughts begin to take shape, it almost makes one think of diamond!
The approach and techniques I use when working with couples or individuals involved in relationships that are in need of repair, is based on years of conducting couples therapy and workshops in which I counsel those who need to better, and more effectively communicate their needs. Intimate relationships demand certain elements be present in order to work, trust love and support are essential yet among the most commonly to be concealed. I strive to assist those who work with me to interrupt these unconstructive cycles in order to better understand what it takes to create an environment of growth and satisfaction in a relationship.
