I became a therapist because I believe that change is always possible, and that humans have an inherent ability to heal and transform when they feel safe, heard, and connected. I understand that sometimes patterns of thinking, difficult emotions, or past circumstances feel like they pull us away from living life fully. In session, I will work with you to identify your strengths, increase self-compassion, create safety in your body, and expand your capacity to respond in the face of life’s difficult moments. I'm also a big believer in the power of humor, and encourage you to bring your full selves into our work together.

I offer individual, couples counseling and career counseling for people of all ages. As a professional businessman and now a psychotherapist, I bring life experience to therapy that gives me practical and insightful perspective on the challenges people face at home, the workplace and in their relationships. I enjoy working with couples and have extended training in the Gottman Therapy method. Couples issues can rack relationships especially those struggling fidelity and trauma issues. I am keenly aware of each of these and have worked with these tough issues as a therapist and husband.

Life at times confronts us with problems we cannot solve on our own, like overwhelming or unmanageable thoughts or emotions. Any kind of change, even positive, can be difficult.

Not accepting new clients
From the outside, you appear to have it all together. Your inner world is vastly different though, filled with dread, sadness, anticipation, worry, and self-doubt. You lie awake at night rehearsing the day's events, others' actions and intentions, and what's to come tomorrow. Your health is starting to suffer and you are physically and emotionally exhausted. You feel emotionally distant, lonely, and detached from others and yourself.

Being alive is an extraordinary project. For as many experiences as there are which enrich and empower us, there are those which challenge us and cast doubt on our sense of self, and the direction of our lives. While it’s virtually guaranteed that we’ll all encounter moments of suffering, I’m certain that life is meant to be enjoyed. Often, when we allow another to accept us fully, and to bear witness to our struggles, we find strength. Our work is to reclaim the tools you have for growth and for progress. Let’s start exactly where you are.

There is power in seeking the help of others along our journey, and it is my hope that therapy can represent a unique healing environment, focused on your reality and your needs. The change that we all seek lies within our stories being validated and understood. As we witness the power of our stories in light of culture, race, gender, sexual orientation, and other intersections of identity through therapy, we partner in using your strengths to lessen your limitations. By developing your self-awareness, we can work to heal from past wounds, develop more understanding of your Self and those around you, and create better relationships.
