Hi, I'm Tony! Therapy works best when we develop a working relationship as two human beings. I am not a blank slate, and I generally approach my clients with a sense of gregarious curiosity, and a persistent eye toward exploration. My preferred therapy relationship works like this: I get to see the world through your eyes and explore as we go; you get to guide me and help me understand which ideas fit you, and which ideas do not. When I am a good fit for a client, they often tell me, "I feel like my mind is full after these sessions, and I have something to chew on all week." If you are delighted by a new idea, we might match.
I love to work with people who are creative and have a sense of propulsion. My background is extremely eclectic and overwhelmingly human oriented. I think of my work through the lens of "High/Low": I can provide unique interactions with narrative and philosophy, but I am also fully at home addressing panic, depression, and acute crisis needs.
W.W. famously wrote, "I contain multitudes." If you're interested in working with me, please send me an email to learn more - I offer free phone consultations, or we can chat through an email thread. Let's take some time to investigate what's contained within you - and let's talk about how to use what you carry.

Usually when folks begin meeting with me, we spend the first few sessions building rapport and investigating symptoms you report. During this stage, my job includes listening deeply to what you report, and keeping an eye out for other components you may not have identified yet.

  • Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
  • Existential
  • Narrative
  • Psychodynamic
"
My treatment approaches are persistently linked to data orientation and development of best practices. Data still requires interpretation! Psychodynamic, narrative, and existential approaches help you and I to fit CBT and DBT skills to YOU as a client, instead of superimposing "one size fits all" approaches based on the header in a treatment guide.
