If your teenager, husband, boyfriend, or partner doesn’t want therapy, but you know they need it, I'm your guy. I specialize in working with people who would rather do just about anything else than sit across from a therapist. Maybe they’ve been dragged in, maybe they’re skeptical, maybe they’re just not talkers. That’s fine. My style is straightforward, down-to-earth, and built to put people at ease quickly. The office won’t feel like a lecture hall or a confessional. It’ll feel like two people talking, one of whom knows how to ask the right questions to get things moving.
Life throws punches, and sometimes our reactions aren’t pretty. Some of us snap, shut down, or do whatever it takes to get through, and then the guilt and shame kick in over our response. My job is to help folks see those moments without judgment, quiet the inner critic, and create enough space inside to try out new ways of responding that feel healthier.
If you’re on the fence about therapy, that’s normal. Plenty of people start out unsure if it will really help. What I do is cut through the awkwardness so it feels like a real conversation, not a performance. Most of the time, the hesitant ones end up wondering why they didn’t start sooner.
