Finding purpose, joy and direction in life can be a challenge and yet the work involved can be an invigorating and fascinating process. I have devoted much of my adult life to these goals, both personally and with the many hundreds of people I have had the opportunity to counsel in my 25 years in mental health. 

It all starts with developing rapport and mutually creating a safe space for vulnerability, uncomfortable emotions, and sitting with uncertainty. I honed my skills through 4 years of providing therapy on a college campus and 5 years of working in outpatient services with severe and persistent mental health challenges. I haven't seen it all, but I have sat in witness to a vast array of human experiences. 

Regardless of diagnosis or situation, the primary challenge we all face is knowing and accepting ourselves and understanding how we best operate in the social world. I am a generalist but have considerable strength in working on issues related to identity development, navigating interpersonal challenges, overcoming and making sense of trauma, depression, psychosis, social awkwardness, and men's issues. 

We will work together to mutually agree on therapy goals. I consider myself an existential therapist and therefore enter the therapy relationship with no preconceived idea of how you should live your life. I have confidence that we can figure this out together, and I look forward to meeting you.
