For men, relationships are often our greatest challenges. We begin a committed partnership filled with love, hope and great expectations. Over time, we may experience a growing sense of distance from our partner. Suddenly, we feel powerless in our efforts to create more intimacy and restore connection. I draw on my 30-plus years of experience as a relationship expert to guide you through the often poorly navigated journey of partnership. In an environment that is uplifting, non-judgmental and supportive, we talk about the relationship challenges all men face, and share the secrets to a healthier and happier partnership.

This is an open group for individuals who know and understand DBT skills and how to use them. Unlike traditional DBT skills groups, this group is more of a process group as members seek advanced support in the use of DBT skills. Attendance in a DBT skills group for one module with our team is required before participation in this group will be recommended, unless referred by another DBT therapist who knows a potential member's skill acuity. Group members are required to have the most recent edition of Marsha Linehan's manual with them.

Are you tired of having people tell you that you’re “too intense” or “too sensitive,” or that you “shouldn’t feel” a certain way about something? Do you find yourself feeling misunderstood by others much of the time? Do intense feelings sometimes leave you wanting to do something that will help you “escape” the emotional pain? What would it be like if you could spend time with others and not get overwhelmed by your emotions? How would you like to be able to handle emotions and communicate your feelings to others so you are understood, and others stay? What if you could feel connected, like you see others doing?

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or no longer recognize this version of yourself. Perhaps you're feeling generally dissatisfied. Maybe you've tried "fixing" problems with limited results. Therapy is about understanding who you are and prioritizing what you actually need in the present with realistic expectations, while fostering growth in a meaningful and sustainable way. Stress, perceived failure, and/or hopelessness don't have to define you. Our lived experiences inform, not define. I will help you build upon your existing strengths and prioritize what is actually important to you to better participate in your life.
This group is for couples who wish to learn better communication, the art of the fair fight, compassion building, and how to create a safe and secure environment for their relationship to flourish. https://forms.gle/S5CGz9i4D1PkT4pr7

I enjoy working with folks who are expanding their definition of who they are as a person. Personal growth work is meaningful work. I believe the majority of clients I have worked with throughout the years have a very limited opinion of themselves. I want to assist people to move forward in their lives and enjoy the journey! My studies at the Chopra Center with Dr. Chopra, Dr. David Simon and Davidji have expanded my own awareness on how wonderful this life experience can be. Yes, we have bumps in the road but the obstacles do not have to define us. I have studied with Dr. Brian Weiss and I am trained in IMAGO therapy, hypnosis.

This group is designed to strengthen attention skills, manage emotions, and help members feel more in control. With daily practice, even for ten minutes a day, members will notice changes in their ability to calm impulsivity and feel grounded. Research demonstrates that these skills can be gained and lead to more effective, frustration-free living. Daniel Siegel, a notable bestselling author and neuropsychologist, recommends the group process that is followed here. In addition, the group has been shown to improve attention, concentration , impulsivity and feelings of overwhelm.

Research and brain imaging show that what we think can actually help us grow a more positive, grounded approach to life and that those changes are reflected in stronger connections in your brain. This group teaches mind management skills that keep our brains healthy, assist in our management of pain, and more importantly demonstrate an end of group improvement in happiness, resilience, love, self-awareness, joy, gratitude, and self-compassion (at the 8 week completion). In addition, participation in the group lowered participants' intensity of mild to moderate anxiety and depression. Results were maintained 2 months after the group ended.

Mindful Self-Compassion or "MSC" is a research-supported 8-week training program. It helps participants cultivate the habit of mindful self-compassion by learning to infuse our day to day experience with kindness, especially when we feel frustrated, inadequate, or overwhelmed. Research has shown that practicing self-compassion can lead to greater ease and well-being in our daily lives. It boosts resilience, reduces anxiety and depression, and can help maintain healthy lifestyle habits. MSC can be learned by anyone; It's the practice of recognizing moments of difficulty, and evoking good will toward ourselves and others as well.

Your relationship doesn't feel "right" anymore. You’re disconnected, and it’s been so long since you’ve felt that way about each other. Maybe you're feeling misunderstood, hurt, and lonely. Maybe you’re struggling with something that recently happened--or that happened a long time ago--and your relationship never really recovered. Or it’s been a long, slow drifting apart. Whether you’re fighting all the time, or you never even talk anymore, you just keep falling back into the same dysfunctional pattern, and you just don't know how to change it. You’re ready to have a better relationship; it's time for some expert help!
