Do you identify as a "nice guy" or "people pleaser?" Is your relationship suffering because one of you is making every decision and the other can't make any, or perhaps you can never agree? Are you finding that you just don't like yourself very much these days, or worse yet, not liking anything at all? If you're so burnt out that nothing can make you smile, it's time to get some help. I work with individuals and couples who are used to being highly effective and successful in many areas of their lives yet in some particular areas can't get any traction.
My style is curious, pragmatic, affirming and nonjudgmental - there are no villains in my office, only humans. I focus on helping you understand what you want and why you want it, where you do and don't have control over your life, and how that understanding can lead to better choices. I sometimes quote movies, make jokes, and very occasionally swear.
No one feels like they're in the best shape of their life when they are finding a therapist - and that is okay. Making this call is a first step to getting you back to where you want to be. Please call me for a free consultation where we will figure out a plan that will work for you - all it will cost you is your time.

With my clients, whether individuals or couples, we often work together for somewhere between 15 and 25 sessions, moving from weekly to bi-weekly to monthly as the therapy progresses. The style of treatment varies based on what your needs are - I do not believe that we should fit the client to the style of therapy, but rather that the therapist should figure out which style works best for you.

I feel strongly that the modality of therapy should be chosen based on how you think and organize your thoughts and experience, rather than what my preference or experience is. You are the expert in your story. For that reason, we'll discuss together some possible theories that might be best for you, and I will encourage you to learn more about them to further your work, switching as preferred.
