If Anyone Can Help You — This Is The Place.

Where Psychology Meets Real Life

As a hockey goaltender who earned a scholarship to a private school in Minnesota, Rick learned early about pressure, focus, preparation, discipline, responsibility, and performing under stress.

Returning to Windsor, Rick went on to build and operate successful businesses throughout Windsor and the Detroit area, working closely with employees, customers, families, professionals, and people from all walks of life. While business became a major part of his life, his interest in psychology and understanding people never disappeared.

Over time, Rick became increasingly frustrated with approaches that seemed too focused on identifying problems, applying labels, and teaching people how to cope — while leaving the deeper emotional root causes unresolved.

That search led him deeper into hypnosis, NLP, emotional release work, stress management, subconscious behavior patterns, and alternative therapeutic methods. He studied with some of the most recognized minds in the field, including Jose Silva, Gary Craig, Larry Nims, and others.

Through decades of study, observation, clinical work, and real-world experience, Rick made a major discovery: many people were not stuck because they lacked willpower, intelligence, or insight — they were stuck because unresolved emotional triggers were still running beneath the surface.

That discovery became the foundation of his proprietary process, Rapid Emotional Release and Empowerment — RER — designed to help identify and remove emotional root causes instead of simply managing symptoms.

Rick later recognized that emotional release was only part of the solution. Negative inner dialogue, destructive thought patterns, and subconscious mental habits also had to be addressed. This led to the creation of Thought Shifting, his process for helping people change the way they think, respond, and move through life. He later wrote the book Thought Shifting: How To Remove The Negative Inner Voice in 30 Days.

Through it all, Rick remained grounded in family life — married to the same woman for over 38 years, raising two children, building businesses, serving the Windsor community, and dedicating his life to helping others move forward.
Today, after more than 30 years and over 36,000 sessions, Rick combines education, clinical training, real-world experience, business insight, family values, and practical understanding to help people create meaningful and lasting change.

The book reflects the core philosophy behind the clinic: real change happens when you address the patterns driving the problem — not just the symptoms.
