I am a "regular guy" kind of therapist--I don't usually wear a tie or speak in psychobabble. I bring 30 years of experience to each counseling relationship. I prefer to work without diagnoses, as I find most of them to be of little utility in guiding therapy. I would much rather work from a strengths-based perspective empowering my clients to make positive changes in their lives. I work especially well with physicians, executives, first responders, and other individuals who value their privacy and confidentiality. My treatment approach is typically short-term in duration, though I am willing to make the long journey when necessary.
I have had tremendous success in treating a variety of issues and symptoms including but not limited to: anxiety, OCD, PTSD, depression, substance use, medical illnesses (chronic pain, IBS, Chrohn's disease, etc.), sexual dysfunction, smoking cessation, insomnia & eating disorders. I also provide consultation/documentation for emotional support animals.
I specialize in hypnotherapy but don't be scared off by images of hypnotism you have seen on TV. You won't be clucking like a dog or barking like a chicken. If this is too scary, we can find an approach that is right for you and fits your way of thinking & perspective of change. Call or email now. I am currently accepting clients only online and on Fridays.

In 35 years in practice, I have seen most issues but I never assume any issue or symptom is more important that my client's perspective on that issue. I don't know exactly how you feel, no one does, but I am willing to listen without judgment in an effort to find a path to your optimal functioning.

There is no one size fits all treatment or miracle cure. Psychotherapy and counseling are about a connection between a therapist or counselor and a client who is ready for help in addressing those parts of their life that feels out of control or in need of an overhaul or change. I am a guide/coach/mentor for this change process or journey.
