I believe people have power to reauthor their stories in new, preferred ways. Whether the work is short-term, dealing with a specific trauma or distress, or longer term, exploring internal worlds, my goal is to walk with folks as they move towards lives they want to live. I’m a white, non-disabled cis-man - I know the importance of feeling seen by counselors, and understand that shared identity may make new relationships feel safer. I’ve worked extensively with women, people of color, disabled people, and queer and trans folks, and am dedicated to anti-oppressive practice, including looking at power in the therapeutic relationship.

**My practice is currently full so I am not taking new clients at this time.** I believe that working with clients involves tailoring therapy to meet the needs of each client individually. I have worked with clients experiencing co-occurring disorders, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, depression, adult life transitions, substance abuse, spirituality issues, relationship difficulties, and those who are alone without family support. Other clients I have worked with include students, adult children caring for parents, LGBTQs and refugees as they adjust to life in the U.S.

Pursuing therapy represents a desire to heal. Whether dealing with a new change in life or a past trauma/hurt, my work with clients is focused on supporting the process of healing and learning to "let go" of the harmful patterns that get in the way of feeling happy and fulfilled in our lives and relationships. As a therapist, I strive to create a space where you can pause, reflect, and feel supported and safe in acknowledging the emotions that we've all learned to avoid, dismiss, or tuck away. Imagine finally allowing yourself to feel those emotions and learning to show yourself the same compassion you'd show a close friend.

Thirty years of practice taught me that therapy can be more than empathic listening and supportive talk but an active vehicle of empowerment and change. I have combined my foundational training in structural family and narrative therapies with the depth orientation of mindful insight and the action techniques of cognitive behaviorism. Working with individuals, couples/families, we collaborate to identify the patterns that reinforce relational conflict ("structures") and the repetitive stories told and heard about personal limitations ("narratives"). Then, with our combined wisdoms, we rewrite the script(s) to include greater meaning and motivation, humor and hope, compassion and clarity.

Many people I work with describe their struggles with self-doubt, persistent worries, irrational fears, and "overthinking" tendencies, saying that they second-guess themselves and struggle to quiet their anxious thoughts. Often, these struggles are a result of past traumatic events that have shaped how the brain perceives the world. Other times, these struggles may trace back to unhelpful messaging from outside sources, which can result in learned behaviors, patterns, and ways of thinking that promote anxiety, worry, and shame. I use modalities such as EMDR and CBT to support clients in overcoming these issues.

I approach mental health holistically and believe that the road to wholeness addresses body, mind, and spirit. I provide a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges in life that may have you feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes these challenges keep us from being able to live our best lives, and in an attempt to manage them we often develop coping skills that ultimately do not serve us.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist serving residents of California and Maine.

We try to take care of ourselves, connect with supportive people, and make good decisions - but being alive can be overwhelming at times - losses of health, loved ones, our sense of balance. When this happens we may feel depressed or anxious. Sometimes it helps to just slow things down and look at what's going on with curiosity rather than judgment. It might be time to take a step back to look at what your goals are, what obstructs you enjoying your life more and getting satisfaction from your relationships. Look at creating new meaning from your experiences.

My practice is focused on helping couples improve the quality of their relationships. Having healthy and secure relationships keep us physically and emotionally happier and healthier. When we feel disconnected, our body, mind and soul inevitably suffer. We all experience adversity and heartbreak; the trick is finding meaningful connection in the midst of challenges. The science of attachment provides an exciting roadmap to heal relationship distress. Learning how to seek and receive emotional comfort and connection creates resilience, protection, energy and is the antidote to the feelings of loneliness and helplessness.

Welcome! In this very moment you're choosing to be on your journey. My therapeutic philosophy is to facilitate and support your body's innate healing response through the applications of EMDR, (EMDRIA.ORG) and heart-centered therapies. EMDR in particular works to liberate clients from past trauma memories whether that be small "t" trauma or big 'T" trauma and to transform a person's subconscious beliefs thus "turning down the volume" on negative memories/negative beliefs and transforming those subconscious beliefs back into positive core beliefs so that you may become your highest aspect of yourself.

I have worked in mental health most of my life, first at Vermont State Hospital as a psychiatric social worker, and in 1992 began working in outpatient treatment. As a seasoned therapist I can say that there are many tools that I have learned to use over the years. Together we can identify the sources of low self esteem, depression, anxiety, etc. and clear those influences on present day well-being. Therapy is goal oriented so you will identify how you want to be feeling at the end of treatment and together we will make that happen.
