I approach my therapeutic work with warmth, curiosity, humor, openness, and respect for differences. My work with clients is informed by my training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment research, neurobiology, and a range of evidenced-based therapeutic modalities. I help clients develop greater awareness of their role in the relational web of their life. This awareness empowers people to live a more meaningful, connected, and fulfilling life. Even if you are not primarily concerned about the relationships in your life, but simply want to improve your self-esteem, work on reducing compulsive behavior, or address anxiety or depression, therapy can be helpful.

My focus is on working with men overcoming significant issues in their lives. I specialize in helping men who struggle with a sex or porn addiction. Other concerns are common at the same time as an addiction - depression, anxiety/stress, significant relationship issues, conflict management skills, job & career problems. Together, we work on addressing each of those to set you back on the right path in life.

I have been helping men overcome sex addiction since 2008. I believe that it is not only important that a therapist understand a problem deeply, but is able to 'get it' at a personal level. Who better to counsel someone for these types of issue than someone who has gone through it and experienced his own recovery?

I'm glad to provide a free in-office 30-minute consultation to determine if I am the right fit for you.

I am experienced in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance abuse, and grief, among other conditions, and concerns of the LGBTQIA+ population. I will assist in increasing your awareness and understanding of yourself, and in learning how to improve overall wellness. If you are struggling with personal doubts or questions, relationships, loss, major life transitions, distressing memories, general dissatisfaction, the responsibilities of your position, or are just seeking a compassionate ear, please reach out. My approach is from a person-centered perspective, and I mainly practice an integration of Somatic Experiencing and Gestalt Therapy, though also incorporate CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Expressive Arts Therapy when appropriate.

I received my masters degree at Naropa University the Transpersonal Counseling Psychology. My passion for therapeutic work has developed over the last 10 years working with adolescents and adults in wilderness, office, and community settings. I have found that deep level healing occurs in mindful relationship with others, seeing and experiencing this has laid the foundation for my practice. I have trainings in Virginia Satir's family systems model, Douglas Brady's Psychology of Symptoms technique and in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I work from a body-based perspective with attachment, trauma, sexuality issues, addictions, physical pain and illness, and gender issues, to name a few.
