I specialize in helping overcome social, academic and work-related anxiety, creativity/achievement blocks and life transition challenges, including marriage, divorce, other relationship and job transitions.
My approach to therapy has evolved over more than 25 years of practice as a psychologist/psychotherapist working with a wide variety of people and issues. Many people respond well to and benefit from my interactive, solutions-oriented methods. I believe that exploring the past is sometimes important but that working in the present with a clear eye to the future is often even more helpful.

I specialize in working with persons who are experiencing difficulties in life transitions, such as going to college, starting a new career, early parenthood, the empty nest, retirement, and the challenges of aging.
WHAT WILL THERAPY BE LIKE? I strive to create an environment that is confidential and nonjudgmental. The therapy hour is a time and place where you can feel safe enough to do important work. I also believe that therapy can be enjoyable and life-affirming, even at times a FUN experience. WHAT CAN THERAPY ACCOMPLISH FOR ME? Engaging in psychotherapy provides the opportunity for a new start, an escape from ruminating, from feelings of helplessness and indecision. I will work with you to see and experience your situation in a new way - and take action to make important changes.

Finding your true purpose and "meaning to life" is a focus of my therapeutic techniques. It may be necessary to assist you with your eating disorders, addictive disorders, sexual dysfunction and trauma before you can find your purpose.
Often times a family or couple may need to be treated together. We can discuss this when you call. There is hope, joy and meaning for you. Please feel free to call me for a free telephone consultation.

I focus on providing support to men seeking to gain control in their lives and are in search of their purpose. The modern man has to face obstacles in life differently than his father and grandfather. Navigating through these roadblocks alone can be extremely difficult and sometimes traumatizing. Divorce/separation, custody issues, midlife/existential crisis, depression, and anxiety are just a few of the problems that the modern man has to face. Just talking about these problems can be difficult since some men may feel alienated by today’s mainstream therapy that does little to prioritize their needs. In my office you will be heard.

Life can be such a challenge. We humans are so resilient, but also fragile, and life can hurl things at us we could have never imagined. We often feel we're doing our best; it often doesn't seem good enough. Support is crucial. It's immensely useful to have a therapist who ACTIVELY helps you face life on life's terms. My clients are growth-oriented people who take a proactive role toward change. We look at their situation, feelings, behaviors and opportunities for growth w/compassion, hope and motivation. My style is warm and direct. I believe in using humor whenever possible - therapy doesn't have to be a drag.

Life can be very challenging, throwing so many unplanned curve balls at us that sometimes leaves us feeling defeated, unmotivated, and emotionally drained. But what if you could access the keys to happiness? To a healthier mind, body, a happier marriage, and deeper personal satisfaction. Would you grab those keys to unlock the world you have been dreaming about? Or would you say, “No thanks, I’m happy with my job, marriage, and how I feel daily?” But if you say, “No, I need those keys,” I applaud you for being courageous and vulnerable enough to change what isn’t working and learn what will.

Currently calling in clients seeking guidance in (not limited to) : ethical non-monogamy/polyamory, LGBTQ+, kink, spirituality, existential crisis, life purpose, relationships, life transitions, emotional trauma.
Therapy can be about managing difficult emotions and situations in our lives, and it can also mean discovering who you really are, getting to know yourself on a deeper level, layer by layer. The more you know yourself, the more you can navigate life in a way that’s aligned with your values and your soul’s purpose. However, to really love ourselves, we can attempt to love all of our parts. So perhaps we can find some space to turn towards anger or sadness with love and compassion and we can give these parts the opportunity to heal and harmonize with our core selves.

Therapy can seem overwhelming but talking about what is going on in your life and getting support from someone is a healthy way to feel balanced and empowered.
You've been wanting to focus on yourself and your growth. You might even be wanting to strengthen your relationships. Maybe you've thought about sharing your challenges with others but don't believe they are important enough, or don't want to burden others with your problems. Maybe you've actually thought about therapy but don't know where to start.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
