I work primarily with individuals who struggle to feel satisfied in their relationships with others as well as in their relationships to themselves, to their core values and aspirations. I find that relationships, to both ourselves and to others, lie at the root of our psychological distress. If our relationships are strained or absent, then we can easily begin to feel anxious and depressed and fall prey to addictive and compulsive behavior. I work best with clients who want to get a bit below the surface and explore other ways of relating.

I founded Blue House Therapy (website under construction but it is up) because I believe we are all worthy of living meaningful and fulfilling lives. I feel so honored to be able to work together with couples and individuals in exploring and writing their next chapter of life. You may be seeking counseling because you are aware there is something standing in your way, we could call this “the problem.” There is a saying that resonates with me, "you are not the problem, the problem is the problem."

My approach to treatment is interactive and engaging. I find that clients appreciate and benefit from an active therapist that will help identify areas of difficulty and work on initiating changes rather than a passive, primarily listening approach to treatment. A comfortable fit between therapist and client is an essential part of successful work together. Consistent with that, I'm happy to do a phone consultation so you can get a sense of how I approach this process. In terms of insurance, if you have out-of-network benefits we should be able to make therapy affordable.

You make sense. Each part of you is here for an important reason and has a role to play in your continued growth. However, if you are seeking therapy, it might seem like just the opposite is true. Anxiety, depression, and behaviors that feel out of control can make our lives seem painfully small, disconnected, overwhelming, or incomplete. Whether long-term or sudden, these difficulties often involve a sense of stuckness; at such times we might tell ourselves that we are flawed, or that this is just the way life is. And yet, even as we are struggling, something in us knows that another way is possible.

Welcome to my therapy page. Chances are you're here because you're feeling anxious or depressed, navigating an acute crisis, or simply living day-to-day with a nagging sense that things aren't as fulfilling as they could be. Perhaps you're feeling stymied at work, having difficulty communicating with your life partner or kiddos, or frustrated and exhausted from trying to juggle all of the above and more.... Navigating life can be a challenge. Particularly when there's no real rule book and many of the behaviors modeled for us growing up have turned out to be less-than helpful.

We're only on Earth for a little while: too short a time to spend it indulging bad habits, ignoring our talents, suffering inadequate relationships. Personal Coaching has two main goals. First, it helps you to notice and release your fear, resentment, self-destructive sorrow -- the whole range of negative habits in thought, feeling and behavior. Second, it helps you to give your gifts to the world: your talents, your capacities, your joy. On every level, coaching enhances your relationships: with family, partner, co-workers and friends, with this amazing Earth, and with your own sense of yourself as fully alive.

Integrating my training as a clinical psychologist and certified psychoanalyst with 3 decades of coaching & playing competitive soccer, I developed a unique style of integrating my passion for athleticism and team into my psychotherapy and coaching practice. While the quest for understanding the past is important to the process, achieving goals, identifying obstacles, considering options, and defining action steps is the essence of the work. "Trying" is understandable but "Doing" is essential! This approach has been particularly successful with adolescent and adult men.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
