About me
If you have found yourself thinking you're "too in your head" or "too analytical", you've come to the right place. My professional joy is helping people to engaging in making a fulfilling live rather than becoming paralyzed by trying to map the optimal path. If as a couple you find yourself lost in a sea of what NOT to do and need some guidance about how to build effective patterns, I'm the therapist for you. You want more structure? No problem. Just need some help keeping things calm while you hash things out? I'm your guy!
My work is grounded in evidence-based therapies, including:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
With individuals, I primarily use ACT to help you change your relationship with your thoughts and emotions so they have less control over your actions.
With couples, I use the Gottman's 50+ years of research to focus on identifying and shifting the patterns that create conflict and disconnection, and use a blend of structured tools and deeper emotional work.
I aim to create a space for slow, deliberate exploration and analysis of your internal processes while still actively creating and applying practical tools you can use outside of sessions. Therapy can be a huge step in committing to improving your life, and I would be honored to take that step with you. You are the expert in your experience, and my job is not to "fix" you. Instead I want to work with you to maximize your potential and help you live a life that is more fulfilling. Please email or call with any questions.
