Trained and experienced in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems, I offer counseling to adults, teens, and families that combines strength-based approaches which respect each client's unique history and growth process. I work together with each client to develop treatment goals which reflect that client's hopes and dreams. Client goals may include personal growth, less conflict and more rewarding relationship, family, or work experiences, and release from the haunting effects of the past. For teens and young adults, facilitating the learning of safer alternatives than high-risk behaviors, and a stable satisfying journey towards independence and adulthood.

My clinical experience includes assessment and therapy services to adults, young adults, adolescents and families with over 15 years in experience in the field in various environments. I want to be sure that therapy can be approachable and useful for everyone, adapting to the needs of the person, while having a grounding in cognitive-behavioral approaches.

Whether I am with a child, teen, adult, couple or family, I strive to earn my clients' trust with honesty, warmth and humor; a secure and close therapeutic relationship allows for the most healing and progress. A lot of psychological distress occurs when people feel cut off from or ashamed of some of their feelings. I help clients access and feel compassion about previously disavowed feelings and parts of themselves, allowing for better self-care and self-regulation, and greater closeness with loved ones.

Are you looking for compassionate care to help you or a loved one address difficult emotions, experiences, or transitions?

I love to help people who want to grow. You may sense that your anxiety or depression or relationship troubles are signs of things you don't yet know about yourself, opportunities for personal growth you’ve postponed. If you’re at this crossroads; if you recognize that something has held you back; if you’re ready to dig in and work hard; if you want to be more effective and creative in your work, more relaxed and intimate in your relationships; then we could be a good fit.

The guiding philosophy of my practice is to help people understand themselves in the service of personal development within the context of a safe and reliable relationship with another person. I believe that deep and rich self-examination requires rigorous and systematic pursuit on the part of both therapist and patient as they work together. My philosophy places a high value on curiosity, creativity, purposeful aims, tolerance of discomfort, and the strength for meaningful work and satisfying relationships. These are experienced or learned through the medium of the psychotherapeutic relationship.

I am accepting new clients. If you're not doing, thinking or feeling your best- than you owe it to yourself to do something about it. A counselor can be useful to you by helping you figure out what you want to do. Whether you want to learn to communicate better, improve your self-esteem, perform better academically, socially, athletically or if you want to free yourself from an addiction or from feelings of anxiety/depression/grief, or if you want to improve your relationships- counseling can be very useful. In terms of style, I'm a "regular, easy going guy" who will listen.
