All of us want to live with peace and stability both internally and externally, including in our relationships. Many of us have bought into the false idea that the "right" external circumstances are key to this and waste a lot of resources chasing this seductive idea. I can help you learn to trust, accept, and understand yourself which then allows you to belong to others and the world in a healthy, generous, and more peaceful way. Intimate relationships are precious but also challenge us, I wish to help make them less of a struggle and more connected in all aspects of relationships, including sexual.

Talking to a therapist is hard; all those emotions are difficult, and being strong all the time for those around you is exhausting. I get it, and I want to make it easier for you. I use interactive techniques that do not leave you sitting on the couch, staring, and not knowing what to say. You came looking at this site for a reason; I believe the reason is that you have suffered long enough and are ready to make a change. Change is scary; you are not alone. I'll be there with you as you make the change. Give me a call.

A lot of resentment can come with aging, whether you yourself are caregiving or you are experiencing changes as you age. It can leave caregivers and seniors feeling stuck without a solution for a way forward to enjoy your life in the midst of hardship or challenges that you are facing with getting older.

My ideal client is anyone who may have tried other ways, and might be discouraged; maybe you wonder if therapy can even help you. If you here, it's likely you are in pain...but not sure if therapy is your thing. But this is a different beast. Yes, I am very accepting and understanding, and I am a faithful Catholic Christian, so many Catholics and Christians of every denomination enjoy working with me (though I also see atheists, Buddhists and all other sorts). But I am formed by classical stoic philosophy, and Aquinas. And, how else can I say this? I am a dude.
