I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been counseling individuals, families, and groups for the past 26 years. My specialty is working with adult men who are struggling with relationships and life transitions. Through my training and teaching of therapeutic wilderness survival and my years working and teaching at Rutgers University, I am very familiar with the issues young adults and adults in today's world are challenged with. Additionally, I have spent many years working at Arms Acres and The SAFE Foundation, with individuals and family members of individuals struggling with process of addiction and recovery.

One of the most important factors in the success of therapy is the creation of a safe, confidential space. In this setting an individual can express all the thoughts, feelings and beliefs which they often feel unable to share, for fear of judgement or disappointing others. Clients often relate a great sense of relief when they verbalize these difficult or confusing thoughts and find that they are supported and validated. Once these inner voices are freely and safely expressed a client can more effectively identify patterns of beliefs which limit or alter and often hinder their efforts to feel whole and at peace.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck in their head much of the time and feel like their life/relationships aren't working. They feel like their internal state is interfering with the results they want in their lives whether that be in their relationships, parenting, financially, professionally or in life in general. They want to know how they can feel better and show up in a way that feels healthier for themselves and others. Many of my clients are reacting instead of responding to situations. They feel disconnected from themselves, have negative self-talk and relationship issues.
