For over 35 years I have been treating adults and adolescents in both brief and long-term psychotherapy. I am particularly drawn to working with clients challenged by depression, grief and loss, anxiety and trauma. I believe that facing our wounds is a necessary first step in treatment, but that once the trouble areas are identified the most important work lies in cultivating personal strengths.

He provides psychotherapy and family counseling in a safe, empathic, non-judgmental, and non-pathological environment.

I help with adjustment concerns, grief and loss, family issues, mood issues, and relationships. I use various modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. Incorporating Humanistic philosophies in my work, every person deserves love and respect and is an expert in their life. My purpose as a therapist is to support, suggest, and succor as needed.

In my private practice, I counsel individuals, adolescents, adults and couples, focused on anxiety, depression and relationship issues. One of my areas of focus is baby boomers contemplating retirement, transitioning into retirement and/or second careers. This population is often managing the needs of an elderly parent(s) and simultaneously, their own adult children. These challenges converge with our own issues of aging, such as mid-life crisis, changes in our health and viability and our mortality. I'm currently counseling several couples.

My focus is on providing multi-culturally affirming therapy to help people achieve their therapeutic goals and cope with struggles they face. I use an integrative and collaborative approach to deeply understand my client’s concerns, meet people where they are, and support their specific needs from therapy.

I have been doing psychotherapy full time for over 3 decades, so I am a seasoned therapist. My first training was Cognitive-Behavioral, and it remains foundational to how I work with clients, but with experience I have incorporated parts of many other approaches, so "eclectic" is a label that also fits. I believe that education is important early in the therapy process, helping clients identify "what problem(s) are my symptoms trying to solve?"

The Baby Boomers, those Americans born between 1946 and 1964, constitute about 30% of the US population, and are living significantly longer lives than any past generation did.

I can help you develop a personal, individualized roadmap to happiness, fulfillment and especially, meaning.
