Sometimes in life, we face problems or setbacks that impede our relationships, identity, self-esteem, and even aspirations. I believe that through therapy, we can develop ways to achieve life goals and improve overall life satisfaction. I work dynamically and collaboratively to explore inner thoughts and feelings to bring positive changes and meaning to life. I utilize personal strengths to build inner resources to cope with daily life stressors, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other concerns. “Successful long-term relationships are created through small words, small gestures, and small acts ― John M. Gottman

It has been a privilege to help individuals and couples heal the fractures in the foundation of their lives.

Having a guide who has experienced trauma, who has faced life's hardships, & who has chosen to walk a path of self-discovery, provides a level of understandings that fosters caring insights. Which encourages & nurtures the complex exploration that uncovers our internal wisdoms. Where personal courage begins to lead the way toward a more authentic, & aligned way of being, that becomes the healing process.

Life is a series of challenges, difficulties, and conflicts. Your response to these experiences can make or break you. A path filled with openness, curiosity, and a passion for learning - what has been called a growth mindset - fosters mastery, resilience, and well-being. A resistance toward growth and change, a fixed mindset, can lead to fear, failure, and mistakes. As a therapist who has embraced the growth mindset, I strongly believe that in creating an environment of emotional safety, acceptance, and understanding, these qualities can be cultivated into a pathway of healing, change, and amazing growth.

I strive to meet people where they are, to listen and understand their values, to explore and encourage them to connect to what matters most to them. My goal is to help people cultivate loving acceptance of themselves, and gain insight of how the past impacts the present, while forging an awareness that the past does not have to dictate one’s current reality. Developing a clear, nonjudgmental view of their journey allows people to work towards creating a life congruent with their values. I believe all humans have inherent worth and dignity, I believe each person can overcome the trauma and struggles they have endured or face now.

The journey through life can feel like a roller-coaster with steep climbs, sudden drops, and twists and turns all over! Children, adults, couples, and families alike can all experience difficulties while on this journey and it is important to know that these experiences are a normal part of life. Should anyone feel they need a helping hand to make it through this journey, I encourage them to reach out. Whether it be battling depression, past trauma, school/work difficulties, anxiety, family, or relationship struggles, I believe no one should feel they have to face these challenges alone.

The last few years have been difficult. Some have found their way towards stability and happiness, others still struggle and feel lost. Although this is a very challenging time for the world, I feel optimistic that as a society, we have been given the opportunity to re-evaluate the trajectory of our lives and to discover what brings us meaning and joy again. As a Therapist trained in CBT, ACT, Behavioral Intervention, and Existential Therapy, I have successfully partnered with many clients who felt lost, anxious, and unable to cope with the changes life has thrust upon them.

Unfortunately, I'm not accepting new patients at the current time.
I've been a psychologist in clinical practice since 1980. I've had advanced training in psychodynamic approaches that combine an emphasis on insight with the beneficial effects of careful listening, empathy, and offering practical advice about changing behaviors that get in the way of patients reaching their potential. I think that most people suffer from painful problems in work and in love and my approach is designed to alleviate this suffering.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
