Early recovery is a period of immense vulnerability and uncertainty as you begin to deconstruct the walls raised in active addiction and replace them with the coping skills necessary for success in long-term recovery. I believe wholeheartedly in the value of the therapeutic alliance and offer an environment that promotes sustainable change; to me, recovery is about more than putting down the drugs, it’s about becoming your best self.

In therapy, I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment-based experiential/systemic therapy, as well as emotionally-focused therapy, and family systems based modalities.
It is said that the family is the “factory” where people are made. We learn to react in certain ways within our families which can affect how we develop, as well as our relationships and behaviors. Life can take unexpected turns and the challenges presented at such times can be difficult to work through alone. I seek to help my clients navigate and maneuver through these times by creating a safe haven from which to work through their challenges. I am committed to empowering individuals, strengthening relationships, and strive to create equilibrium within families.

You just had another argument with your spouse. They’re happening more and more frequently. You’re not even sure what this most recent one was about, but you’re still reeling from it. It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly when things got so bad. For as long as you can remember, painful memories have bubbled to the surface without warning. You’ve always been able to push them down and ignore them, but you're starting to wonder if that’s sustainable. Maybe the constant problems in your relationship stem from these unresolved issues. You want to feel more in control and connected, but you don’t know how. It feels hopeless.

You’re feeling overwhelmed and anxious all the time. It’s leaving you sad, unmotivated, without any energy, and it is sapping all the confidence out of you. And you’re going crazy from all the overthinking about your problems the whole day. Maybe some even think you are confident and successful, but you know that deep down you are insecure, indecisive, and feel like an imposter and if people knew you, you doubt that they would still like you or respect you. It seems like the difficulties in your life and past traumas have overtaken you and are holding you back.

I use an attachment-based approach with a focus on how trauma affects the brain and body.
I work with clients who have histories of trauma varying in severity. This can look like trouble with regulating and making sense of emotions. In terms of diagnoses, I often work with clients with PTSD, depression, anxiety, manic episodes, and dissociation. My clients want to regain their sense of agency. My clients become more aware of the connection between current behavioral tendencies and pivotal events from their past. My clients become comfortable feeling uncomfortable exploring issues and experiencing the emotions that arise. My ideal clients understand that progress is dependent on dedication and consistency. Very possible.

A seasoned therapist, I draw upon my extensive post graduate training in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, group therapy, trauma-informed therapy, 12-step, harm reduction and other recovery models, attachment-based theory, mindfulness and Gottman’s evidence-based approach to couples therapy.
At times we find ourselves at a difficult crossroad, uncertain how to grow and change in the face of our distress. With 35 years in private practice, my goal is to help individuals and couples find a path to unknot conflicts and develop more resilient and expansive modes of living. Many of the people I work with are embroiled in addictive behaviors such as alcohol and substance misuse, gambling, sex addiction and pornography. Others struggle with painful traumatic personal histories, chronic and acute illnesses, grief and loss. And still others are mired in destructive relationship patterns that undermine the quality of their lives.

If you’re reading this congratulations on taking the first step towards achieving your goals. You’ve decided to reach out and sometimes that is the hardest part. For over 15 years I’ve enjoyed helping those navigate the path to healing. I believe a safe and empathic environment is the foundation to this path. My practice works with those facing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, performance issues, adoption, and relationship conflict. After many years behind the athletic bench I also have a passion for working with athletes and performers seeking to enhance the mental side of their game or barriers that impact their performance.

At some point, we have all felt sad, anxious, lonely, or angry. But, sometimes, we get locked into these emotions, and it begins to feel like our life is out of control.

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.
