I work with individuals, couples and families struggling with transitions and communication. I also specialize in Men’s issues that may include challenges with emotional intimacy, difficulty being vulnerable, and maintaining their passion for life. I see men who are wanting to uncover a fuller version of themselves, and feel fully expressed and fully fulfilled in every area of their lives. Clients I see understand that they get out of the therapy what they put into it. The therapeutic relationship becomes the container for change. I see their seeking help not as a sign of weakness, but rather as a sign of good judgment.
Utilizing creativity, frankness, and levity, I focus on your presenting issues as they show up in session and work to process them in the here and now. We work collaboratively to establish a treatment plan and revisit it frequently to track progress. My foundation is in mindfulness (present moment), somatic (body), and EMDR (see below).
I empathize with how hard it can be to reach out and ask a stranger for help. I am also consistently encouraged by the vulnerability clients exhibit in facing their shadows and moving through their fears. I would be honored to connect with you and be a part of your journey towards wholeness and healing.
