Integrating my training as a clinical psychologist and certified psychoanalyst with 3 decades of coaching & playing competitive soccer, I developed a unique style of integrating my passion for athleticism and team into my psychotherapy and coaching practice. While the quest for understanding the past is important to the process, achieving goals, identifying obstacles, considering options, and defining action steps is the essence of the work. "Trying" is understandable but "Doing" is essential! This approach has been particularly successful with adolescent and adult men.

My work as an individual psychotherapist focuses on helping people develop greater self-esteem, more satisfying relationships, and greater ease and fulfillment in their lives. We work towards reducing distressing feelings, and identifying and resolving problems that stand in the way of your leading the life you would like to have. A deeper understanding of past experiences can be key to resolving unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior. Bringing this understanding into the present, you then have tools to meet whatever occurs in daily life with greater clarity.

After a twenty-year career in the education field, I am confident we can work together effectively on what has brought you to the point of reaching out for help. My style of counseling combines an awareness of how past experiences impact our thinking and behaviors with a mindfulness-based appreciation of our unchanging core. If you're in a troubling relationship I help to develop safe spaces to deepen connection and intimacy through deep listening and self-compassion. Families looking for help with teens can expect a variety of concrete approaches to engage them involving multiple family members as appropriate.

My ideal client is one who is curious about and interested in making the changes necessary to achieve their stated goals. I work with people who have reached the limits of their ways for navigating the relationships in life that are no longer satisfying, desireous or life enhancing.. These "stuck" points can be interpersonal, intrapersonal, and/or professional.

SHIFT HAPPENS. You cannot stop the changing tide . Follow your passion, change your career, rebuild self-esteem, strengthen relationships, control addiction, delete stress, find balance in your life. You need a therapist who has first hand experience and empathic approach to make you successful. There is no SINGLE method that works for all people. I focus on the individual needs and responses of my clients to ensure that they are free of cookie-cutter therapeutic approaches or psyhchobabble, where the individual always counts first. You owe it to yourself to experience the strength you can gain from the right guide.

It is possible for all people to affect change in their lives, and to feel more contentment and empowerment, no matter your age or how long you have been struggling. Congratulations on having the courage to reach out. We all need support in navigating life and asking for help is the first step in that direction. The individuals and couples that are seeking my services are looking for guidance in communicating with family members and significant others, decision-making, coping with depression and anxiety, challenging patterns due to past trauma, and support in making changes in any area of life.
