Are you feeling stuck despite previous therapy? I take pride in helping people who haven't found the help they need from other professionals. Many of the people I work with come to my practice after trying other approaches that didn't fully address the underlying issue. Our goal will not only be relief but to work together to identify patterns and core issues that may be keeping you stuck. When therapy focuses on the core problems, meaningful change can begin early in the process rather than feeling like an endless conversation. If past therapy hasn't worked, let's talk about whether my approach can offer a different path forward.
Therapy should identify core issues and bring symptom relief from the beginning. That's why I offer all new clients a free consultation. It's an opportunity to get on the same page about what's brining you to therapy, your goals and how we're going to achieve them.
Therapy is a place where we can slow down, make sense of your experience and begin to untangle problems that have felt confusing for a long time. I've been on the other side of the room for a large number of hours. It's hard and tender work to make lasting change. It'd be an honor to do that work with you.

Groups
Men's Maturity Group
One of the issues we're facing today is a lack of quality information about what healthy masculine psychology looks like. I've created a group to address that. We use Jungian materials to have group discussions on masculine maturity. A few times a year I do a 5-week course that studies one book in particular -" KING, WARRIOR, MAGICIAN, LOVER: Rediscovering The Archetypes Of The Mature Masculine" by Moore and Gillette. Intermittently, we do one night group discussions on different aspects of maturity. Often our source materials are movie scenes, poems, quotes and myths. Email for more information.
