Hello. Thanks for visiting my website. If you’ve come, then you are most likely looking for a psychotherapist to begin working with.

What sets me apart from other therapists? Really, it's just the way I relate to people. I’ve got my own way of engaging with others, and ultimately, that’s what individuates me from my fellow professionals. Lots of the “tools” I use are probably similar to what others use: techniques that help you analyze your thoughts & beliefs, articulate your emotional universe, practice new behaviors & so forth.

Obviously, these are essential steps for making the changes you want in your life.

But in order for any of these to really take root, you need to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and at ease – because psychotherapy is about taking risks. If you come wanting to alter certain entrenched patterns in your life, or if you're feeling anxious or depressed, then you'll need to go take a look at some unfamiliar spaces in your heart & mind (since that's where you'll find the strengths and resources needed to make  change happen).

Deconstructing some (or all) of yourself can be a daunting, difficult process, and it’s a lot harder to do when you’re working with a therapist with whom you don’t feel comfortable; you're doing all this in front of another person, and so trust has got to be huge.

That’s why my first order of business is to listen and get to know you. I try to help you feel understood and respected. Using a solid rapport and relationship as the foundation, we together begin exploring what your internal world is like and how it might be contributing to the situations you find yourself in.

Additionally, I specialize in working with new and expecting fathers. Please see the Fathers page for more details on that.
