Life sometimes overwhelms us with unexpected tragedy bringing grief, loss, trauma, spiritual questions and life transition at a time when we are least prepared. I work primarily with individual and family survivors of these events including loss to disaster, homicide, suicide or other sudden and violent death.

I am currently seeing people in my office and virtually over zoom. I specialize in parenting issues, anger management and spiritual issues. I provide support to men and fathers as they strive to become the best version of themselves. I tend to work with a lot of men who are former athletes. My background as a former high school and college athlete seems to serve our connection. The men who come see me want help in figuring out ways to channel their aggression in a healthier way and tend to be self reliant and often have a hard time asking for help.

Welcome! Meaningful change and lasting healing happen through the co-creation of safe therapeutic spaces. Together, we can develop your capacity not only to feel better, but to be healthier. Understanding yourself is a powerful source of transformation and development. However, insight alone is not always enough to create psychological healing. I work with people to generate deep insight but also to create a new way of being and feeling in the world. For these purposes, I often incorporate both experiential and mind/brain/body therapies.

Hello. If you're here, you're at a crossroads in your life. Entering therapy is an act of courage, commitment, and curiosity. Asking questions such as, why is therapy important to me now?, what do I want from this process?, am I ready to grow?, can provide you with a direction toward change. Please note that therapy can be hard at times. Looking at past experiences, addressing buried emotions, and altering old patterns of seeing oneself and others is not easy. However, the outcome of this hard work is life changing.

"I have walked through many lives, some of them my own, and I am not who I was, though some principle of being abides, from which I struggle not to stray." These lines, from "The Layers", by Stanley Kunitz, hint at the themes we will explore if you decide to enter psychotherapy with me: Who have you been, and who are you now? What principle of being has shaped your life's journey thus far? Where and when did you disregard this principle? And how may I support you in your effort to recognize and honor your most authentic self?

Immediate openings and accepting new clients. -Reaching out and asking for help can be one of the most challenging aspects of starting the therapy process. If you have made it this far, you are ready to start. Most clients I work with are self-aware and know what they would like to focus on for treatment. With that, my approach tends to be both relational in style and goal-oriented in terms of treatment planning and working toward the best way to assist you in your personal growth and success.
