Have you ever felt that words were not enough? You've tried talking, but it doesn't seem to work, at least not for very long. You find yourself wondering what you can do to feel better. Coping with stress, living with uncertainty and meeting the challenges of everyday life are often difficult to describe in words alone. Imagine what it would feel like to enjoy the process of self-discovery, personal growth and understanding. Your creative process can become your road to emotional wellbeing - a safe and gratifying way to explore difficult experiences and emotions such as fear, sadness, frustration, and anxiety.

I treat trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, recovery from abuse/addiction, relationships, phase of life and gender/sexuality hardships.
Therapy is a delicate art and a science. Finding the right therapist is important. The connection by an understanding, intuitive professional, someone with wisdom and effectiveness, who also respects the time and the cost of your investment is valuable. I use an attachment-focused orientation, and tools from EMDR, Ego State Theory, CBT, 12-step recovery model, and other modalities. I have enjoyed a rich 25-year career as a trauma informed specialist. I have supervised and directed programs in public and non-profit sectors. Adoption is my specialty, as well as work with teens, young adults and families.

My practice provides a unique blend of therapy and coaching. I specialize in helping individuals realize their full potential. This usually means giving people the boost they need to get from where they are to where they want to be. I help people manage transitions, anxiety, depression, adult attention deficit disorder, work place concerns, relationship issues, and look at factors that promote balance both professional and personal needs. My effectiveness in coaching developed as the result of first-hand executive-level experience where I have coached both executives and managers.

In my practice, I specialize in working with adults and teenagers navigating anxiety and/or depression. I also have extensive background working with neurodivergent (ADHD and Autism Spectrum) people and individuals who have been impacted by trauma. I believe in the power of insight and authenticity, meaning that the more we learn about ourselves and our relationships, the more we are able to take agency in our lives to live the kind of life we want to live. I value creating a safe, open, and authentic space in the therapy room.

Are you struggling with debilitating thoughts that make you anxious or depressed? Or finding yourself in a difficult life transition or crisis? I love to help people going through challenges to feel better, learn to cope better, and know that they are not alone. I value guiding and empowering clients to dive deep into their experiences to gain insights that target and heal problems at their root. I may use EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and a psychodynamic perspective (exploring the impact of your childhood and hidden aspects of yourself on current challenges), and will cater the therapy experience to your unique needs.

I believe the relationship between therapist and client is essential in understanding the underlying issues affecting one's obstacles to personal growth and happiness. It is my goal to provide a calm space and safe relationship towards that end. Working with adults, young adults and families for more than 20 years has given me a breadth of experience that I bring to the therapeutic relationship. I have particular experience with early trauma and PTSD; depression/anxiety; life transitions; addiction related symptoms; and, relationship issues.

There can be moments in our life where we are overwhelmed with the struggles we are experiencing. We can feel lost, confused, hopeless, stressed, depressed, stuck, worthless, embarrassed, ashamed, angry, the list goes on. Perhaps, you think that you can’t move on, things will never change, nobody cares, you're all alone… If you can relate, I understand why you’d want these unpleasant experiences to disappear. It can be dreadful and exhausting living with this weight on your shoulders.

The most fascinating and important part of my job as a therapist is how to have a really good conversation. It may sound too simple, but it cuts to the heart of what to expect from therapy. Through good conversation, you experience connection and understanding. When we are understood, difficult feelings change with resulting freedoms to engage life. Trained both as a Marriage and Family therapist and a psychoanalyst, I work with complex relationship issues, divorce and blended families, depression, anxiety, addictions, men's issues, and sexual trauma recovery, and integration of psychology and faith/spirituality.

Whether it is time for you to mend an emotional wound, get relief from anxiety and depression, seek the right relationship, repair the current one, or to create a larger purpose for your life, including a therapist during your journey can help you discover what is possible for you. In addition to his main therapy approaches, Rudy believes that psychotherapy can be vastly improved by integrating deeper exploration into your EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ): Self-awareness, Self-regulation, Motivation, Empathy, and Social skills. Optimizing these primary components of EQ with your therapist can be a game-changer during your work together.
