In my 35 years as a full time doctoral level psychotherapist I have handled an awesome sample of psychosocial situations. Rather than a jack of all clinical trades, I have been a master of those trades.The background information unfolds as we move forward rather than dominating the first few sessions with a tedious process designed to place the present on hold or to the side. For you and I that first beginning moment is actually right now as you read my words. Hopefully thos words will provide what you seek, or need, to know in order to pursue the best option.

My specialty is in working with adults that are mostly wanting to move past talk therapy in order to heal traumas by accessing their inner healing intelligence, and repair pathways for greater resiliency. In turn, this allows one to get to know the Self on a profoundly deep level, and to be working in harmony with the functions of the internal system. The tools are already within. Sometimes, we just need to be shown how to access them. I will not be giving you a fish, I will be teaching you to fish. Talk therapy is part of the treatment as much as you need it to be, though my other specialties tend to have the greatest impact.

Feeling stuck? I base much of my approach on the idea that we are not programmed to be our own best friends, and that gets in the way. Our minds' default settings are not usually set up for us to feel extra self-confident, extra self-compassionate, or extra calm when the storms roll in. Life generally doesn't let us off the hook very easily, but if we can learn to look at things in new ways, we can find peace in knowing that we are doing the best we can with what life has dealt us.

I believe many issues that we face are related to our struggles to avoid, ignore, or otherwise gloss over painful aspects of how we define ourselves.
**I do not have any openings at this time** I believe that compassion, flexibility, and the willingness to listen carefully are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I will work with you to create a safe and caring space where we can explore what you would like to change and develop a path towards realizing that change. To do this, I will draw from multiple theories and techniques to provide the individualized structure that will allow you to move towards your goals. In general, I view my job to be finding ways to help you realize your own strengths and discover your own solutions.

As a therapist, it’s my primary joy to walk alongside you on your path to heal wounds, amplify your current strengths, cultivate new ones, strengthen your relationships, set and achieve personal goals, and, importantly, find opportunities to find joy along the way. This can include working to reduce anxiety and depression, navigating family relationships and/or systemic oppression, processing and mitigating the impacts of trauma, etc.

I work with all couples - married and unmarried, premarital and divorcing, heterosexual and same sex. I work actively to explore areas of dissatisfaction, identify obstacles to change, and find ways to overcome them. I offer to meet with all couples for a brief evaluation, designed to determine whether treatment is indicated and to quickly identify key problems, strengths and promising directions for treatment. I strive for the shortest course of treatment that accomplishes clients' goals. If a couple is in acute crisis, I make every effort to see them on an intensive basis initially until the immediate crisis is stabilized.

My approach combines an understanding of hu man development, spirituality and behavior change.
As an experienced psychologist, healthcare team leader, Buddhist, life guide, husband and father, I have a broad perspective on how to live a happy, ethical life. Our lives are replete with both pleasant and unpleasant experiences. We will experience both whether we want to or not. Living our lives with compassion, gratitude, friendliness, and equanimity, we can set ourselves free from suffering. While unpleasant experiences are inevitable, suffering is optional. To live our lives gracefully—in spite of everything—is attainable. Love yourself. Spirituality is a key component on the path to happiness and joy.

These relationships contribute to the many parts of ourselves.
My goal is to support people along the journey using a goal-oriented and strengths-based approach. That means creating a safe, secure foundation for us to do our work. From there we set a clear path and check in along the way to ensure that you are meeting your stated goals.

In addition to extensive training, my work is also informed by many rewarding life experiences.
Imagine sharing your most private thoughts and feelings, safely, and without risk, so that you get to know yourself more deeply. Neuroscience teaches us how emotions affect our behavior, how they are stored in the body, and how negative emotions can be healed. In my work, I utilize techniques that focus on the relationship and the feedback mechanisms between the mind and the body in order to promote deeper and more complete healing. I also help couples and families recognize patterns of behavior that contribute to misunderstanding, tension and conflict. My intention is to create a safe space that is non-judgmental, welcoming and warm.

Often, we find ourselves in repetitive patterns that can appear to betray our deepest wishes for a fulfilling life. Perhaps you have developed ways of coping that were once effective but are less helpful than they were in the past. Natural life transitions themselves, even the joyful ones, can be full of complicated feelings like loss, grief, and various anxieties. You may wonder at moments of a feeling of being inhibited or too rigidly approaching the world. One may also just feel ‘off’ yet remain unsure why or what could be the cause. This is the value of exploring the aspects of self not immediately consciously available to us.

Clients and myself are on a journey, to explore and notice the things that bubble up, the things that stay stuck beneath, the parts of themselves that enter the therapy room: the grieving parts, the sad and scared parts, the joyful ones. I work with clients who are seeking for meaning and understanding in their responses to the relationships in their lives: those with family, with partners, with spirituality, with creativity, with work and life's purpose, and beyond.

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.
