I offer EMDR, IFS (internal family systems/parts work), Somatic Experiencing, & psychedelic ketamine work. I also specialize with ASD/neurodivergent (autism), DID/dissociation, & LGBTQ+.

Trauma Work: It can be incredibly frustrating and shame inducing when you find yourself repeating the same negative relationship patterns, behavioral and emotional responses, and maladaptive thought processes. My approach to trauma work is both holistic and central nervous system oriented; focusing on the brain, body, and behavior to see how your body’s trauma stress response is keeping you stuck in old narratives and patterns. I am trained in EMDR which is perfect for clients who do not want to rehash the details of trauma or who feel that they have not had success with traditional talk therapy.

In 2023 and beyond, my work ethic continues: Working together, we greet Pain and Suffering and ask "How will you serve my development?" Psychotherapy isn't about finding perfection, but pursuing wholeness and respecting our Self. It's simple. It's complicated. It can be very difficult, and and there are laughter and surprises to be enjoyed. Go for it: tend to your emotional to-do list, relationship overhaul/finesse, deep discovery, gather energy to take your journey to the next level. Mid-life? Starting out on your own? Starting/ending a relationship? Creative and stuck? Uncertain times require what we have— wisdom and creativity.

Some of my clients are totally new to therapy but many have tried different forms of personal development and therapy and are looking for something deeper.
The invitation to speak freely is the foundation of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I attempt to listen in a way that is rare in everyday communication. As we listen to your speech, repetitions of difficulties, habits and behaviors that have been resistant to change or other forms of therapy come forward as well as unexplored and unrecognized perspectives. These point to the roots of your daily difficulties and suggest actions to change. You are also invited to speak about your dreams, daydreams, and fantasies, which give direction and guidance to the underlying symptoms and support the process of connecting to your desire.

You feel pain in many ways: worry, shame, anger, confusion, and sadness. Your past taught you how to respond to these feelings, but problems arise when these responses no longer work. Our first goal in therapy is to understand why you feel and act the way you do. Awareness doesn’t bring change; it brings choice. I focus on emotions because they communicate what we can’t yet speak. Listening to our emotions gives us the power to help ourselves. When you understand yourself, you can make better choices to get what you need. Please see my videos on emotions, vimeo.com/392071078 or motivation, vimeo.com/389807247.

Active Imagination and non-directive guided imagery can help you access inner wisdom and gain insight. While the thinking, rational mind is essential for everyday concerns and problem-solving, its usefulness is limited regarding questions of meaning, value, and depth. Active Imagination constructively channels the psyche's innate creative power. When we tap into the wellspring of the visionary imagination, we feel an enlivened sense of meaning, purpose, and connection.

Therapy provides a space to break free from these destructive patterns, whether they manifest in social settings, at work, or in relationships.
Hey there, feeling a little stuck? In today’s world, anxiety and depression are often fueled by the pressures of social media. We live in a culture of constant comparison, where we are bombarded with images and stories that depict seemingly perfect lives. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt as we measure ourselves against unrealistic standards. Many of us find ourselves caught in cycles of negative thinking, believing that we are "not enough" because we don’t live up to fabricated ideals.

Highlighting my client's wonderfulness, resilience, and accomplishments is essential in how I conduct therapy. Problems try to lock people in prisons of negative self-image - whether depression, anxiety, trauma, or the fickle de mands of society. However, I reintroduce my clients to their wonderfulness and re-author their relationships with themselves.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
