Therapists in Palmer, MA

I work with people on improving relationships, health, and career as well as navigating big life moments and creative endeavors. Over years of clinical work, I found that people made huge leaps forward between sessions when we emailed back and forth, so much so that I closed my in-person practice and now work with people entirely in writing. I also record audio practices, hand-draw diagrams, and share an abundance of actionable resources. Working this way has turned out to be incredibly effective. I encourage you to visit my website for a fuller picture.

My ideal client is a male of any age interested in changing patterns keeping him stuck in his life, someone ready to do the tough work of honest self-assessment as preparation for meaningful change. My approach is strengths-based and solutions-focused with a goal of mobilizing clients to imagine and then pursue positive and exciting change. I have extensive experience working with gifted people and elite performers across different industries, both as a teacher and a clinician. I also work well with executives focused on career building, developing relationships, and managing work-life balance.
