I provide a map for personal growth for men. On the journey you will uncover your deepest thoughts, wishes, fears, and conflicts. You will hold your history and personal identity up to the light, turning them slowly, pondering, and when you’re able, you may choose to release them, making way for a stronger interior scaffolding. You will become healthier, balanced, and psychologically strong. I work on the premise that men of this century want to be their own healers. Our work is to gather the resources needed for psychological well-being, developing the skill and power to rise to maturity and fulfillment.

When one door closes but another door isn't yet open, it can get lonely out in that hallway. Maybe a loved one has died, or you've received a diagnosis or you just moved to a new area...Is what you're feeling grief, trauma or culture shock? Or all of the above? How do you find courage, support and strength when you're in this in-between territory? It helps to have someone who's been there listen as you sort it out. Someone who gives you space to discern what you need. Someone who understands your language and can help you recognize and explore new possibilities. Someone who helps you discover who you are now, and who you can become

"I'm tired. Tired of living in a relationship that is a lot of work with little reward. I've read books and gone to seminars but nothing changes. I don't want to be miserable, walking on eggshells to avoid fighting. I feel so alone and want the person I once was madly in love with to pay attention to me and look at me with love and admiration. Everywhere I turn there are demands and I just want peace. I can't see past the issues- and sometimes I don't even know what the "issue" is except we are both unhappy."

Sharing our inner experiences with someone can often feel frightening, which is exactly why I place such an importance on connection and acceptance in the therapeutic process. I aim to create a safe environment that will invite my clients to delve deeper into their personal narrative, as I truly believe we are not built to process emotions alone. As humans, we all have a propensity to grow and become our true selves, unfortunately we aren’t always gifted with the circumstances to allow it. I am passionate about creating a space for not only self-discovery and self acceptance, but to allow clients to feel seen, heard, and valued.

Hi! There's a lot of reasons that people come to therapy. Typically, the first time is always the most challenging and scary; you don't know what to expect, you aren’t sure if the therapist is going to pry in to your deepest darkest memories, and you don’t know if you will even like the therapist. Whatever your preexisting ideas are about counseling, it’s ok. I invite your fears and hopes alike. My job as a therapist is to provide a welcoming, safe atmosphere in which you feel comfortable, relaxed and free to talk about whatever it is that’s on your mind, as well as help you gain insight and make positive changes in your life.
