How can you pick your next therapist from words on a screen? Instead, I invite you to watch this video: youtu.be/EVLELpxj69c. In that clip, I explain who I am and how I can help. My approach has always centered on "The Adult Initiation": the idea that everyone needs someone to help guide them into and through adulthood, so they come out the other side stronger, more connected, and more sure of who they are.
I work with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addictions, and trauma. Feel stuck in your life even though everything looks fine on paper? My techniques can help you find clarity and direction.
Want to see me in action? On the CBS show "The Doctors," I worked with someone live to help them face down a 20 year fear of flying in a short stretch of sessions. Watch the clip here: youtu.be/rICyThTxJjo. It's a quick look at how therapy actually works, and what it might do for you.
I offer both traditional and psychedelic-assisted therapy, two paths toward the same goal: stepping fully into adulthood, with direction, confidence, and footing of your own. Watch how each one works here: youtu.be/xe4LBZoxntw. As you watch, notice if you're nodding along. If my approach feels right, take the next step and send me a message.
