I'm a psychologist and a psychoanalyst with over 40 years of experience. I would like to offer my training and experience to make possible your working-through the difficult situations and issues with compassion, and self-reflection.

I believe in the possibility to grow and change our self-limiting beliefs and to let go of negative thought patterns. I believe we can challenge our anxiety and depression, and learn to act, not react, with courage. I believe we can change past unhealthy and toxic patterns in ourselves and relationships with others that foster understanding and positive communication. We can all begin to enjoy a new path to greater health, wellness and balance in our lives.

My passion is to help men understand what they want from life and to address what is getting in the way. Issues that get in the way include addictions of all kinds, depression, anxiety, and anger. Perhaps a partner is unhappy and suggests change needs to happen and soon, or else. Asking for help is often the most difficult decision for men to make. The pain and fear we feel tells us something is wrong. But if we ask for help what does it say about us? Shouldn't we be able to handle this on our own? The most courageous thing you can do is to reach out to and ask for help. I am offering that help. No Judgement.

I specialize in 3 areas: relationships, addiction recovery & wellness. Using a holistic approach, I work with clients to identify underlying issues and concerns that keep clients from making sustainable change, while creating an environment where clients feel valued and safe. I use the Enneagram of personality typology with clients so they can identify their mental, emotional, and behavioral patterns and raise self-awareness. Clients are introduced to Enneagram type based practices they can use on their own to sustain desired change.

Life is difficult and unfortunately the world we live in doesn't foster the belief in asking for help or sharing our feelings. Many people feel disconnected and alone and more importantly disconnected from one's own self. I approach to counseling as a collaboration between therapist and client with a goal of helping people re-discover their innate ability to heal and become whole again. My approach to therapy sessions utilizes a mix of Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness-based resource building and cognitive-based therapies in hopes of gaining insight into patterns and issues that derail us from living a value-centered existence.

My practice is quite diverse. I work with a multitude of issues that invariably all seem to connect somehow. The broad spectrum of issues include anxiety, trauma, depression, interpersonal relationships and interactions self improvement, communication skills, intimacy, grief, loss and addiction. Treatment approaches vary as people are very diverse and different. Frequently I do tend to use Cognitive Behavioral therapy and emotion focused therapy. While focusing on an individuals core strengths. I also address those problems that are interfering with their ability to be the best they can be.
