Turning points....... Explore New Possibilities.... How to relate to uncertainty and discomfort? Pema Chodrin believes that resisting life causes suffering, and that if we lean into difficult situations we have a chance for a more satisfying life. Psychodrama is a therapeutic method that explores our past, present and future world through action. The sacred space of psychodrama allows the healing reenactments of life experiences, the dramatization of internal or external conflicts (past and present), and the enactment of dreams for the future. These experiences free our innate spontaneity and creativity, which according to Moreno, the founder of Psychodrama, make up the cornerstone of healthy living.

I am a Somatic Psychotherapist with a focus on helping to build resilience and regulation in ones nervous system. This allows for an organic shift in dealing with life’s stresses whether it comes from current stressors or from traumas of the past as far back as utero (Developmental Trauma). This positively impacts emotional, physical and spiritual well being. I like working with adults who are in transition, who are struggling in their relationship, and/or who continue to have the after effects of traumas in their lives. It is my belief that wounding begins in relationship and therefore needs to be healed in relationship.

A key to the effectiveness of therapy is the relationship itself; it's important to me that you feel accepted for exactly who you are at this moment. As your partner in change, I'm always looking beneath the surface to make meaning and connections. While helping you challenge unproductive thoughts and sharing tried and true techniques, I will help you process the experiences that have led to your current state so you can actively choose how to go forward on your journey, becoming the author of your own story. This way, you can become more resilient, better able to handle future challenges, and more prepared to rebound from setbacks.

I have helped thousands of LGBTQ patients who have reduced their anxiety, depression, & low self-esteem to achieve more enjoyable lives, which they can now maintain on their own without ongoing therapy.
As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I understand how anxiety and low self esteem can be unrelenting companions, whispering worst-case scenarios and drowning out the voice of reason. The knots in your stomach, the racing heart, the feeling of impending doom. The weight of sadness can be suffocating, draining your energy and leaving you in a constant state of emotional numbness. Through our sessions, I will help you uncover the roots of your anxiety and sadness, providing you with coping strategies to manage their grip on your life. I want you to know that there is hope beyond this darkness and we will find it together.

For those in midlife and beyond, the process of coming out is fraught with fear, negative beliefs about being gay, and enormous sadness about disrupting the lives of loved ones — including spouses and children — and can pose unique challenges. Elderly men may feel that they don't fit into the straight or gay world. Coming out is a deeply personal process, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be a lonely one. In a group setting it can be a powerful, joyous, and life-affirming experience. This is a new discussion/ therapy group which starts on Wednesday, January 18, 2022 and is reasonably priced.

As a trauma-informed (PCTI) therapist, I am heavily influenced by Viktor Frankl, a Nazi Concentration Camp Survivor, psychiatrist, and founder of Logotherapy. Logotherapy is anchored in the belief that a person’s primary motivational force is to find a sense of meaning or purpose in one's life—but the lack thereof, leaves the individual experiencing meaninglessness and may spiral downward into anxiety, depression, substance use, PTSD, and other mental health issues. With 12 years of experience and certifications in various modalities, together, our work will refocus you and your life and invigorate it with purpose and meaning.

Many gay men experience difficulty expressing feelings, acknowledging wants and needs, and finding role models or templates on being in relationship. Frequently without trying, we may find ourselves acting as our parents did causing damage to the relationship we are in or leaving us wounded and doubtful that a relationship with another man can is possible. Fortunately, with practice and guidance, improving your relationship or opening yourself up to dating in an even healthier way is an option. The Forging Conscious Love Workshop is a fun and helpful weekend of getting to know yourself and other gay men. Details: Matt Ghezzi 954-317-3978.

I can provide support for life transitions, interpersonal struggles, identity formation, purpose, and more.
I believe people have an incredible potential for strength, although at times the right kind of support is needed to tap into that potential. Life will inevitably have all sorts of challenges, and as such I offer assistance in navigating those more difficult moments. My approach emphasizes a constructive collaboration between therapist and client, in which we will together establish and find ways to reach personal milestones, while exploring your core beliefs. Conversations will be largely purposed to increase insight, coping, and a sense of empowerment by being in touch with one's own values.
