I am a firm believer that clients are the experts on themselves and I anticipate to enter each session ready to meet my clients where they are each week. Progression is not linear and I value the privilege of bearing witness to my clients story and the journey that they chose to share alongside me throughout our time together.

Life tends to throw us curve balls. With all of our energy spent juggling obligations, responsibilities, and managing daily stresses, it's easy to wake up one day and realize that you just feel "stuck." Making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult, but it's the first step towards regaining control of your life. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, experiencing relationship difficulties, or just want a different perspective on whatever is holding you back, I'm here to help you navigate and overcome these challenges. Every person's situation is unique. I do not treat the therapeutic process as "one-size-fits all."

My ideal client is one who wants to building a collaborative relationship that will help to foster change. I believe that most of the work of therapy happens in between sessions, so my clients will benefit if they are willing to practice the things that we agree will be helpful. I am less focused on diagnoses than beliefs, feelings, and behaviors that are amenable to change. I am hoping that my clients have decided that they are willing to be vulnerable at this point in their lives and that they are open to having me participate in their journey toward a more effective life strategy.

You work so hard to do what’s right. Always trying to live up to expectations from society, your family, and yourself for what a man is supposed to be. But no matter how tirelessly you toil or how much energy you expend, it never seems to make any difference. You’re still stuck in the same place – unfulfilled, disconnected, and increasingly frustrated at your inability to fix anything. It feels like you’re slowly being crushed under the weight of your responsibilities to everyone. You want so badly to break free of this terrible cycle, but that seems impossible. You need help, but you’re unsure where to turn. It feels hopeless.

“I love my job,” you whisper to yourself, à la Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada. You’re half joking, half desperately trying to convince yourself it’s true. And work is just the start. Your whole life feels cluttered and confusing. You want someone to notice you’re struggling - but then you would have to admit that you’re struggling. You'd prefer people to know the poised, polished, professional you, not the messy version of you that stress watches Parks and Rec until 2:00 am. So you grit your teeth and make another to-do list you that deep down you know you'll never finish.

Doesn't it make sense to talk with someone who has actually experienced what you are going through? Someone who understands drinking and/or substance use can both cause problems AND provide much needed relief. I have been where you are, or somewhere close, and together we can find a way out. My ability to help is grounded in 10 years of active addiction, followed by 27 years of continuous recovery and 14 years of academic training (MSW, PhD). I understand the science, and I know the suffering. I work with others who have suffered, their families and loved ones.

I am glad you are here taking the first step. I believe that counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and client to create a relationship that empowers clients to accomplish their mental health and wellness goals. I believe that this can be best done through a trauma informed approach that also focuses on the mind, body, and emotions.
