After 25 years in the corporate world, choosing to become a therapist has been one of the most meaningful shifts in my life. I approach this work the same way I try to show up everywhere else: direct, steady, genuine, and willing to sit in the real parts of people’s lives. Opening up about what’s bothering you can feel awkward, especially when it involves the things you believe you should already know how to handle. I’ll be honest about what can change and what may need some reframing. We will work through that together. My experience as a father, partner, colleague, and person shapes the way I help clients navigate their own lives.

Are you feeling stretched thin, exhausted by the demands of a high-pressure career, or simply "stuck" in a cycle of worry and low motivation? Whether it’s the heavy fog of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, or the overwhelming drain of professional burnout, these challenges can make daily life feel like an uphill battle. Often, we turn to quick fixes—such as substances, gambling, or digital distractions—just to numb the stress, only to find ourselves feeling more disconnected than before. If you feel like you’re losing your sense of self or simply surviving rather than thriving, you don’t have to navigate that path alone.

If your mind never seems to slow down—constantly overthinking, replaying conversations, or worrying about what’s next—you’re not alone.
Maybe you’re the one others rely on. You show up, keep things together, and try to avoid conflict, even when it means putting your own needs last. Over time, it gets exhausting. You might feel anxious, on edge, or overwhelmed, even if it looks like you’re handling everything on the outside.

You might look like you have it together but internally, you feel anxious, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you thought you would have outgrown by now. Maybe you overthink every interaction, replay conversations long after they end, or struggle to quiet your mind at night. A lot of the men I work with have never really talked to anyone about this stuff. They're high-functioning, self-aware enough to know something needs to change and skeptical enough to need a therapist who's going to be direct with them. That's where I come in.

I'm a seasoned psychotherapist with more than 30 years' experience. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space in which you can freely explore whatever has felt dissatisfying, obsolete, self-defeating or even toxic in your life.

Accepting New Clients. Have you been through the spin cycle one too many times in your relationship or marriage? Asking yourself, "How did I get here?"

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.
How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.
Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
