Sometimes we feel anxious, depressed, ashamed, disappointed, or just plain numb because we think we should be better, faster, smarter, or simply not have these feelings at all. With the goal of moving forward in a more positive direction, relationship challenges, communication breakdowns, trauma history, substance use dependency, procrastination, fear, isolation, grief, positive expressions of anger, coming out, are just some of the things we work on in therapy. The solutions my clients seek are often found within, and I help them find them with insight, gentle nudging or sometimes with stronger, more direct interventions.
As a therapist, I encourage my clients to explore their full range of emotions, without judgment or criticism. The feelings are there for a reason, and working together our job is to explore, understand and validate them. If coping mechanisms that worked previously are no longer working for you, I can help find new ways to thrive that are authentically you.
After a 32-year career in high tech, I earned my M.A. in Psychology, and became a licensed psychotherapist. I have worked extensively in the SF Public School District, at Golden Gate University, and at SF Therapy Collective. As a long-term, married man and father, my work is informed by relationships. It is my privilege and honor to work with my clients.
