Welcome to My Practice
Psychotherapy is a powerful option for change. In my estimation, it is a courageous, wise, and vulnerable act for you to seek help with the soul-work of life. Those seeking psychotherapy often tend to do so when they are either deep into a crisis or can see the ‘crisis horizon’ and realize that some help or a different prospective is needed. This ‘soul-work’ may take the form of depression, anxieties, addictions, family troubles, difficulty with work/school or in maintaining intimate relationships in general. Whatever the issues, it is a responsible act to seek help and it is a gift to both yourself and to those whom you love.
Entering psychotherapy is about expanding one’s perspective and gaining a new awareness about one’s ‘self’ that translates into action for change. It may result in simply re-doing what you have already attempted, but this time you will be doing so with the ‘presence, support, and witness’ of that guy or gal, …the psychotherapist. It is not for the faint of heart or for someone wedded to complaining about the ‘wrongness or brokenness of life.’ The work may start near this pole or in a dark place, but it should not end there. The basis of this emotional change is the initiation of a deeply personal relationship with a caring, supportive, intelligent, challenging, and hopefully wise ‘other’ who limits their emotional demands on you and seeks, truly seeks, to see you evolve in a life-living, loving, and generative manner.
I love my vocation and work as a psychotherapist. I have been at this craft for over 35 years and my passion is to help groups, couples, and individuals connect to themselves and others in a personal, authentic and potent manner. I welcome you to read through my website pages and to contact me for a potentially life changing connection.

At its best it is a potent form of therapy whereby a gathering of committed individuals express, support, challenge, nurture and confront one another to promote ongoing, purposeful, life-altering, character-shaping change in real time.....

Couples Counseling is a conscious attempt and commitment to the ongoing care of this primary relationship. At its best, it allows us to be grounded within ourselves, to fully love the other, to graciously receive love, and to live a full life in the face of all of the ‘catastrophes’ that will inevitably unfold upon us.

Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy through which a client can address concerns about feelings of sexual intimacy, confidence, and sexual functioning via individual therapy or in therapy with a partner. The work of sex therapy is usually quite focused but it does have considerable overlap and is contained within the more general realm of psychotherapy.
