My clients typically fall into three categories: 1) individuals with existential angst, questioning their trajectory in relationships, careers, and/or life; 2) individuals suffering from a myriad of compulsive behaviors/addictions; and 3) couples experiencing communication difficulties, misaligned values, discordant desires, or desiring archetypal reconstructions. My work emphasizes identifying & isolating troubling emotions that lead to negative thinking and behaving, and learning to think & act according to reason. I am offering in-person sessions and teletherapy.
My process includes existential discovery, problem identification via the irrational "pathetic" passions, & recovery skills via the development of rational virtues. I also help people live more full, productive, sane & stable lives via Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & the four foundational laws of the Stoic way of life - Wisdom, Justice, Courage, & Temperance.
If you are open-minded, introspective (or willing to be), wanting change (but finding it hard to initiate), wanting direction (but feel lost), or wanting emotional regulation (but feel triggered), let me help you. This is a process where I will challenge you to be your best, hold you to your ideals (not someone else's), and monitor you along the way.
