| Practice Description: |
I work with men and the important people in their lives. The main problem for fathers, sons and husbands/partners is isolation and the ethic that says, “I can do it on my own.” For some men, talking with a therapist goes against their instincts. It doesn’t take courage; it just requires knowing that you need help and taking the first step. Therapy is a collaborative relationship that puts the focus on you, your experience in the world, and how you'd like things to be different.
Over many years of providing therapy, I remain moved by a basic human fact – as much as we want change in our lives, our brains are “wired” to keep things safe, familiar and unhappy. This dilemma informs my approach to psychotherapy which I will tailor to meet your specific needs.
I encourage you to take the first step of getting help - call or email me. Together, we’ll work to create an understanding of your life, where you are now, how you got here, and what you are wanting to achieve or change.
