"Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein - As a psychologist, I tend to work with people to focus them on what they can change and control to find successes with their problems. Whether working with couples, families, children, youth, or adults, I'd like to be the guy who listens in a way others may have failed to hear you before. My ideal client is anyone craving new skills, new ways of thinking and feeling, and is ready to learn how to think anew about the things they were once sure of.

In my general practice in psychology, I offer individual and couple therapy for both women and men.

I take a collaborative approach to therapy, encouraging clients to be actively involved in setting and working toward their goals. I help clients to identify their strengths and resources, to address barriers that may be getting in their way and to examine their issues in context.

Throughout our lives, there are times when extra support is needed to regain balance, expand our perspectives, reconnect with ourselves, pursue healing and make sense of difficult seasons. My goal is to hold the space for your exploration towards growth, expansion and healing.

Are you overwhelmed by your situation? Sometimes dealing with the present moment feels heavy when our past adds to the difficulties. Our thoughts, emotions, and even body sensations can weigh us down and make us feel hopeless. You may have tried different strategies to make things better, and maybe they haven’t worked well. We know you are doing the best you can. Sometimes people need a bit of professional guidance. We believe that once trauma and limiting beliefs are cleared from the past, it’s easier to deal with the present. When you can connect to that bright genuine strong part of yourself, it is easier for you to handle life.

It is time to feel better. I would like to help you live a healthier and happier life. I work with adults who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or stuck. It is possible to heal from scars and vulnerabilities. You can move to a place of feeling hopeful with the tools for a better life.

Does your anxiery, depression, weight concern, or emotions paralyze you? Much of the current research, including my own, shows that it's often in the on-going attempts to rid ourselves of "symptoms" that actually intensifies the problem. Often times it is these "avoidance" strategies that are largely responsible for keeping us trapped in an ongoing cycle of increased psychological suffering. Our anxiety, worry, unease and fears result in our living too much in the past or future. Through mindfulness and values-based living, we can work together to help you live a more authentic and present life.
