Life brings challenges that can overwhelm our ability to cope. You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma, or turning to coping strategies that offer temporary relief but ultimately create more distress—like gambling, overspending, substance use, or emotional withdrawal. Transitions such as relationship struggles, career changes, or the natural process of aging can also bring emotional strain and disrupt your sense of balance.

I love working through challenging situations with people and I have found that most issues can be resolved over the course of a few weeks or months. My sessions are usually about 70 minutes because that's how long a complete and satisfying discussion takes. I don't intend to see you for nearly as long or as often as you think, and you might be surprised at the range of things I want to talk about. Your life is a lot more than your presenting complaint.

I start from the idea that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience and it’s this humanness that presents us with both unlimited abundance and challenges. Life can be complex and full at any age and most everyone is confronting an element of transition or change daily. Change, as we have all heard at one time or another, is the only constant in life. I believe we are motivated to change and evolve in life, that the Universe is nudging us to live more fully, with greater presence and gratitude. While the process of growth may not be necessarily simple, it is attainable to all of us.

Everyone has the capacity to heal no matter how profoundly wounded they are. Each individual's path to healing will be unique and for the best chance of long term recovery a person needs to find a healthy balance within their body, mind and spirit. It is my intention to help each client find the unique treatment team to help them achieve this balance.
Additionally, I am experienced in affective, eating and personality disorders, substance abuse and trauma.
I also understand how each of these interact with one another and can cause even more distress within each person.

Sometimes it is difficult when we find ourselves in situations and relationships, doing, thinking and feeling the same thing again and again. People come to therapy to develop increased self-awareness, to understand what is happening inside and get to the root of problems that interfere with accomplishing goals and developing a healthy, satisfying life. Therapy is a place where you can be heard and understood without judgement that supports you to change old patterns of behavior, thought and feelings, and to make different choices in life. Therapy is worth the time, and the investment because you are worth getting to know.

My orientation includes considering our relationships to life. We will take into account relational factors, which may include environments, people, culture, expectations and roles. The therapy process may assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of your values and skills, toward transformative change.

The life you built looks right, but it doesn't feel like yours anymore. You know the stories behind your patterns, yet the distance between you and the people you love keeps growing. More understanding won't close that gap. You need someone to help you stop navigating by old maps to clear the noise, trust yourself again, and build something that actually feels like home

I work well with clients who are motivated to change their lives. Often, our greatest challenges come during times of major life transitions. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I help my clients focus upon the inherent solutions to their most pressing problems. Motivation to change comes with the willingness to look closely and investigate the stories we tell ourselves. Often I discover with my clients that their oldest and most damaging internal stories are simply not true. By having a fellow human who is open and fully present witness our lives, we can discover the very real possibility for greater health and happiness.

With this in mind, I try and help clients explore the messages in themselves and their life processes that will enable them to bear their difficulties and move forward.

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.
