(He/Him/His)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Other, Psychotherapist
Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. There is great benefit found from tuning in to your heart, mind & body.
Finding a therapist is challenging these days. The best way to learn whether you can work with any given therapist is to meet for a few sessions and then evaluate. I look forward to meeting you. Please call for a complimentary consultation. I have worked in academic environments for many years, first as a graduate student seeking several advanced degrees, and later as a professor of psychology, education, gerontology, and English as a second language.
