Kevin is an associate working toward full licensure under a clinical supervisor.

That thing that makes you question your relationship or inevitably leads to its dissolution. You don't need somebody to tell you what it is, you've lived with it for this long and you're fairly clear on that point. But why? Why is it there? What is motivating it? Why does this keep happening? What are the unseen forces that you feel, but can't seem to name?.

My work focuses on adults, children, and families. I utilize an integrative approach, which combines deep insight-oriented work with practical skills-building. Adult clients are often motivated to enter therapy by emotional challenges or difficulties in relationships. Children typically present with behavioral or emotional concerns — they may be depressed, withdrawn, angry, defiant, or underachieving — and are brought into therapy by a concerned caregiver. Therapy with children is very different from therapy with adults and requires an approach that is engaging, supportive, and developmentally appropriate.
