Have you been feeling stuck and wondering what’s next? Are you struggling to connect in your relationship? It can be difficult to recognize your needs and wants and to advocate for them. I love helping couples be more comfortable with vulnerability, better manage conflict, and explore ways to ensure needs are met for both partners. I have a special interest in working with LGBTQ + couples and individuals. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and go from there.

Transitions. Grief. Loss. Fear. Change. Whether it is from the death of a loved one, divorce or marital discord, the coming out process, being diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness, or adjusting to significant life changes: support can be a critical component of healing. I believe you already have everything you need within you to move through this. My focus is to collaborate with you in the exploration of feelings, cultivating your strengths, and creating/defining new coping skills to navigate this challenging time.

My specialized education allows me to see a broad range of clientele. Individuals, couples, and Marriage & Family Counseling, & LGBTQ clients also. Each unique person feels safe and comfortable as we work together addressing any and all issues that had them seek my services. I've found helping others to help themselves a key to successful experiences in work together. Available for my clients outside of meeting time for discussion through my direct private line. I'm devoted to the profession & help make a diifference , I am always welcoming to anyone who would like to understand more about my approach, and philosophy.

(Note: I am not accepting new clients at the moment.) I am a licensed clinical psychologist experienced in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety, depression, and related mood disorders throughout the lifespan. I use a warm, collaborative evidence-based approach to treatment. I am a compassionate and insightful clinician with an abiding commitment to improving the emotional health of individuals and their families. With a particular dedication to marginalized groups, I support transgender and gender nonconforming individuals through medical, legal and social transitions.

I believe that my working for over 35 years with so many different people has helped me to continuously evolve into a more fluid therapist/healer. I use my mind, heart, and intuition to guide me toward helping to decrease the distress in those seeking my help. My work with people includes encouraging them to find and use their own inner strengths and resources as I help them to heal and become their healthiest selves. I continue to learn the most effective ways to help those w trauma, grief , gender dysphoria, etc as I work closely with them to create a therapeutic environment that fosters growth, safety, patience and mutual trust.

I am offering compassionate, solution focused and at times existential therapy for those struggling with life transitions of identity and meaning. Whether identifying as transgender or gender non-conforming, the conversation in my office will assist you in how to move forward, regardless of age. It is not unusual that depression and anxiety is tied into ones gender and sexual identity. Sexual health is part of our being. Come explore what hasn't been discussed prior regarding your sexual self, whether alone or with your partner/spouse.

I am a psychologist, father, husband, poet, athlete, and lover of truth. I believe that too few clients know what makes a psychologist good enough to make a difference. I am a humble, intelligent, insightful, and directive therapist who understands both sides of the couch and gives 100% to each patient. I am trained as a scholar in cognitive-behavioral sciences, and I have specialties in child-loss, depression, and addiction. I meld cognitive behavioral psychology with the rich, non-judgmental zen of Buddhist beliefs. I am the father of Alessandra LoConte (1993-2015), and I help other bereaved parents restore balance after trauma.

I see psychotherapy as a journey in which two individuals, therapist and patient, co-create the story of the patient's life. In doing so, together they connect disconnected parts of the self, acknowledge and resolve internal conflicts, work through old losses, and discover new options for leading a more purposeful and meaningful life.

You're in the right place if you experienced trauma earlier in your life, and you're now going through a big change. Despite already trying talk therapy and to do it yourself, you still feel stuck in the some of the same patterns. Your body has specific reactions to things that you can't seem to control. You can't stop thinking about the past. You can feel like the world is too much. What's more, you don't want anyone to know. All of this makes it hard to find help that actually works on a long-term basis.

If you are an adult, a teen, or a parent searching for a therapist to help your child deal with difficult issues, feel overwhelmed, and defeated, I will work with you to help you navigate through your feelings, your mind and your body to find coping mechanisms that will enable you to set a firm foot on a journey to a happier and healthier you.
