Finding and embracing an authentic self is one of the core missions of adult life. What too often corrupts this search, though, is the phenomenon of shame - a destructive force if there ever was one. Shame can contribute to substance use, depression, anxiety, interpersonal struggles, poor health outcomes, maladaptive trauma responses, and, at extremes, psychosis and suicidal ideation. Such maladies, when approached in the context of a compassionate and trusting therapeutic relationship, can be transformed into signs pointing the way toward a meaningful and fulfilling sense of self.
I am a psychologist, writer, and proud father of twins who primarily works in a psychiatric hospital setting. There, I aid adults in navigating severe mental health crises. A common theme has been helping such individuals harness their inner creativity to reduce shame and, in its wake, generate celebratory connections with themselves, others, and the world.
The extremes of existence teach us about the spaces in between, and my experience treating individuals with severe mental health disorders has allowed me to feel comfortable in most any clinical situation. So, no matter who you are, I want to learn from you, and I want to invite you along in this learning process. Together, we can forge nobility from shame.

I have sat beside numerous clients in crisis, whether due to substance use, suicidal ideation, a loss of self-worth, or trauma. I begin with stabilization via mindfulness exercises because little work can be done when in survival-mode. I then work on getting to know you and your cultural background so as to collaborate on a person-centered treatment plan involving support, challenge, and trust.

Irvin Yalom is a major influence on my style of therapy. I, like him, believe we are all attempting to navigate the inherent conflicts of existence, of life and death. I, like him, also believe the best way forward is often via interpersonal connection. I aim to create such a connection with you in order to propel and model positive transformation.
