Clients who come to me have usually tried everything in their capacity to solve a problem or change something that isn’t working. If they knew how and what to do differently, they would have done it already.

In our work together, we’ll look closely at the often multi-faceted causes of the struggle and find clear, practical ways to intervene. Whether it’s using tools to get through the moment or working hard to reach the deeper roots of what’s happening, our sessions will be both productive and dynamic.

I also have a particular interest in working with men — many of whom come to me through “wife referrals.” I love helping men find their own footing in therapy, often discovering it’s more comfortable and helpful than they expected.

As my client, you can expect to be respected as the expert on your own life, with a committed partner by your side. That mutual respect and commitment are essential when working through deeply personal and often weighty subjects. Your openness will always be met with appreciation, honesty, and a genuine dedication to your process.

“The normal reaction to a season of suffering is to try to get out of it, to address the symptoms. Have a few drinks, play a few sad records, move on. The right thing to do when you’re in moments of suffering, is to stand tall in the suffering. Wait. See what it has to teach you. Understand that your suffering is a task that if handled correctly, with the help of others, will lead to enlargement, not diminishment. The valley is where we shed the old self, so the new self can emerge. There are no shortcuts.” ~David Brooks
