Therapy is a great first step to improving one’s quality of life. Although we understand it’s benefit it can also be intimidating. Therapy isn’t about ‘fixing’ an individual, instead the focus is on empowerment and utilizing the skills the person possesses while developing other skills which may help support and maintain change. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance can assist anyone with facilitating the change they are seeking by developing a structure of exploration that alleviates the angst that comes with creating change in one’s life.

"Get busy living, or get busy dying." If you haven't seen Shawshank Redemption, maybe you should. Maybe it's just me, but reading all the profiles here seems a bit tedious since we are all essentially saying the same things. As an Army Veteran and a solution-focused pragmatist, I like to cut to the chase. The bottom line is that we've ALL survived something in our lives and fall into one of two basic categories; either those who just don't die or those who come back to living. So which category are you in?

Time is of the essence. Let's face it, men are often reluctant to enter therapy as they find it stigmatizing or a sign of being weak or even skeptical of it's effectiveness. Men often take a problem-solving, solution-focused approach to life and that is not always congruent with most therapy models where the focus is on discussing feelings, exploring the past or "processing" experiences. As a cognitive behavioral therapist with an emphasis on solution focused & positive, strengths based interventions, I use a more active, action oriented & short term approach that works well for men and includes a more stoic philosophy.

I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.
