I work in an open, non-judgmental, and friendly way to help people find a sense of wholeness and peace in their lives. With a background in psychotherapy, spiritual counseling, meditation, and mindfulness, my work focuses on a persons inner strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families on areas ranging from life decisions, self-inquiry, spirituality, relationships and sexuality.

I work with individuals, couples, and families on areas ranging from life decisions, self-inquiry, spirituality, relationships and sexuality.
My approach to therapy balances down-to-earth, human connection and clinical expertise. My clients have often learned to rely on shutting down, emotional unavailability in relationships, rebelliousness, substance abuse, distraction, over-achieving, adrenaline seeking, perfectionism, anger, fierce independence, or any manner of escape to get them through life. I focus on empowering my clients to approach emotional experiences and to face their reality with clarity. My goal is to help my clients see their own roadmap to success in their relationships, family dynamics, career goals, health or purpose.

Respect for the client is the foundation of my work. Whatever experience you are having, I am here to offer a respectful and careful space where you will be seen and heard. Together we will work on identifying the blocks to your well-being. Whatever identified, we will work collaboratively to move toward healing and wholeness in a way that is uniquely meaningful to you. Every individual differs in their needs and goals for therapy. With so many possible strategies for reaching your goals, it is most important to me that our time together be centered around strategies that feel right to you.

My clinical focus is identifying and intervening on patterns of behavior and thought that prevent individuals from being more satisfied or better adjusted to where they are in their life. We all go through stress, transitions, and hardships. Adversity is a guarantee. What matters is how we deal with the challenges we encounter. Besides having a strong background doing individual work, I also work well with couples in conflict. There is something satisfying about helping a couple work through issues that have been eroding away the happiness and satisfaction that brought them together in the first place.

For me, being a therapist is a privilege. I like to work with anyone eager to understand what is happening to them in their life. Together, we'll try to understand the factors that are creating the trouble - including some of the unconscious ones - and then we'll put them in perspective, cut them down to size, and talk about what can be done. I create a safe, intelligent, and empathic environment for counseling where we can talk about anything without judgment. My office is a safe place to be yourself. So many of our problems have their root in isolation and anxiety, and that is something we can address together.

No matter the reason for considering it, therapy is like a doorway to exploring our shadows; the scariest, most vulnerable, sometimes even hope-filled parts of ourselves. So maybe you're feeling unsettled in your relationships, or you and your partner are trying to understand your patterns and find new ways of relating. You might be feeling stuck in shame or struggling with self confidence, or you just want to address some unresolved issues. Rather than fumbling to shine a light in the darkness, therapy shows us how to see.

Every one of us are complex beings, influenced by our parents, the prevailing culture, our peers, and the social institutions we encounter. We are also carrying the weight of traumatic experiences both small and great. Integrative therapy with a relational focus helps the client develop and realize their true selves, devoid of unwanted influences. This therapy is a journey built on trust and mutual respect. In couples work, we learn how past family scripts effect the marriage. Often times, family members pass these family mantras to their children unknowingly, which results in their depression and anxiety.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
