My approach to psychotherapy comes from a deep responsibility in helping people grow. I specialize in brining adults to consciousness, healing trauma, and self actualization. With 23 years of practicing and teaching the science of yoga and spirituality I consider this work sacred. I have a limited amount of session per week to give my clients the attention they need. I work regularly on my own self care which allows me to capture my passion and avoid burn out. For over 25 years I have been intentional about my own personal growth and healing. Many of my clients are with me for years and I often hear from past clients years later. Building relationships is the core of therapeutic success.

Understanding how you view the world can carry immense benefits. I can help you learn how what happened to you may have negatively affected you, and how to understand how that has colored your viewpoint until now. By examining your own history, you can change your life in a positive way going forward. It's almost impossible to see yourself- let me hold up a mirror and help you understand yourself and your world better.

Coming to therapy can be scary and overwhelming. There is still a stigma attached to getting mental health treatment. Opening yourself up to a stranger or someone you recently met can make people feel vulnerable and exposed. I treat each person I see as a unique human being with their own struggle(s) preventing them from being who they want to be. I utilize different techniques with everyone to help them feel at peace and feel internal and external safety. This helps them act intentionally in their daily lives.

Psychotherapy literally means "healing of the mind or spirit." As a licensed psychotherapist, my job and purpose is to facilitate this, according to the client's presenting needs and stated concerns. By being interested in the client and providing a distinct context for communicating within a safe friendly environment, the client can more ably express and address what is on his or her mind or troubling him or her. This venting and processing of difficulties and challenges, and picking up of key psych tools and concepts, can help one manage and overcome things that previously seemed daunting and perplexing.

In everyday life, we don't always get the chance to express how we are really feeling or share our struggles in an honest way. Psychotherapy provides a unique environment where you can share your emotions and true self and be met with empathy and the full attention of another person. In our sessions, I will be there to support you on your journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Through this relational approach, you'll discover patterns you want to change, increase self-awareness and gain coping skills that work for you.

I am committed to client empowerment and self-enhancement and I value the importance of the therapeutic alliance which highly correlates with positive therapeutic outcome. I do not take your choosing me to join you on your journey lightly and I will meet you where you are with empathy and non-judgment, realness and genuineness. We will work together to establish therapeutic goals and offer reciprocal feedback. The therapeutic process is not solely about addressing problems, it should also help to enhance and maintain skills necessary to help you function effectively in life as you are better able to think clearer, feel better and live freer.

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.
