Healing, growth and nourishment are oh so very possible! Change is smooth when we can understand our deeper motivations and find more skillful strategies.

As a counselor, I am not easily shaken by difficult histories or painful pasts. I am fully present with my clients and their experiences, no matter how complex or challenging they may be. I take a direct and, at times, uncomfortably sincere approach to counseling. I reject political polarization and believe that, at our core, we are all human—each of us carrying a mix of neuroses and wisdom. My work spans a wide range of challenges, including acute and developmental trauma, Couples Counseling, Mens Groups, Spiritual and existential needs and concerns, to name a few. One of the most rewarding aspects of my practice is helping people see their innate wisdom and ability, which create a space for deep connection and growth outside counseling. I value balancing the masculine and feminine and see being human as a profound personal and spiritual achievement. As a therapist, I Do Not just make a 'nice space' to see what unfolds; rather I am very direct. We all carry insight and misunderstanding, pain and joy, freedom and constraint—qualities that allow us to heal and grow. I work to help my clients operate more realistically and find greater satisfaction in their lives on this good earth.
