Seeking therapy is an acknowledgment that something is in the way of living and expressing your true essence. Together, we will work to understand the inner processes and unconscious forces that influence and limit you. This will include developing a dialogue with your interior world, and discovering what your patterns, symptoms and suffering are trying to tell you. Ultimately, the goal is to live with more imagination, joy, and freedom. Areas to explore may include anxiety and depression; grief; relational/relationship issues; family dynamics; life transitions, as well as spiritual questions.
I use a range of psychodynamic modalities and generally work in a style that offers an alternative to solely behavior change therapies. This will be done collaboratively, primarily through talk therapy, in which you'll not only find more healthy ways to cope but also uncover deeper meaning and balance with what has been unexamined, neglected, or shadowed.
I have experience working with men on a variety of men’s issues. In addition to being a therapist, I am a musician, and I value the connection between the creative process and psyche—I welcome creative and artistic practice to be part of our work. I also encourage the use of dreams and other imaginal material as a way to understand desires and motivations.
