About Me

I’m a sensitive, compassionate, and experienced therapist who believes each person deserves and can create a happier and more fulfilling life.  I work with individuals and couples and have experience working with people of diverse backgrounds and issues. 

My particular areas of interest are:

Relationship Issues 

Anxiety & Depression

Trauma

Stress Management

Emotional Healing

Contemplative/meditative practices

 

My work combines aspects of multiple therapies, which I tailor to the specific concerns and goals of each person or couple.  My post-graduate training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Bonding Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples (EFCT) and individuals (EFIT), Gestalt Therapy, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), hypnosis, and treatment of complex trauma and dissociative disorders.

My spiritual and family life help ground my work.  I have participated in meditation and contemplative prayer groups and silent retreats since the early 1980s, and I lead such gatherings online and in churches and secular settings.  I am married and the father of two adult children.
