I feel overwhelmed by my responsibilities and obligations!  Nobody understands me! I wish I had more time with my family!

Many men in Western culture are socialized to not express their feelings, to deal with issues in a “logical or rational” way, and to believe that being vulnerable is a weakness. It is common for some men to not only have difficulty sharing their feelings but to feel unsure as to what they are feeling. I support my male clients by creating a safe space where they can share their issues and feelings. Often times when emotions are repressed or denied, unhealthy or inappropriate behaviors can manifest.

Trauma doesn't always look like what people expect. Sometimes it's the thing you can't stop thinking about. Sometimes it's the thing you've stopped feeling entirely. Sometimes it's both at once — numbness and hypervigilance living in the same body, on the same day.

For 20 years I've worked with people carrying experiences that changed them in ways they didn't choose. Complex trauma, single-incident PTSD, childhood wounds that surface in adult life, and the specific kind of exhaustion that comes from surviving something you were never supposed to have to survive.

My approach integrates three evidence-based modalities — EMDR, AEDP, and IFS — chosen because trauma isn't just a thought pattern to correct. It lives in the body, in the nervous system, in the parts of you that learned to protect you when nothing else could. Real healing works at all of those levels.

This work is not about reliving the past. It's about releasing its hold on your present.

Who I work with: Adults carrying complex or single-incident trauma, including those who have tried other approaches and found them incomplete.

What to expect: A thorough initial assessment, a clear treatment approach, and a therapist who has spent nearly two decades doing this work — with the training and lived understanding to hold it carefully.

The job changes you. That's not weakness — that's the reality of doing work that most people will never fully understand. Operational stress, critical incidents, the cumulative weight of what you witness and carry — these aren't things that resolve on their own, and they aren't things you can talk about with just anyone.

I work specifically with fire, police, and emergency health services professionals because this population deserves a therapist who understands the culture, respects the identity, and won't pathologize the strength it took to do this work in the first place.

I use EMDR and AEDP — two modalities with strong evidence bases for operational stress injuries and PTSD — in an approach that is direct, practical, and genuinely respectful of who you are and what your work demands of you.

You don't have to be in crisis to come. You don't have to have a diagnosis. You just have to be ready to do something about what you're carrying.

Confidentiality: Your sessions are confidential. What happens here stays here.

Infertility is a particular kind of loss — one that happens in slow motion, often invisibly, in a world that doesn't always know how to hold it. Each failed cycle, each difficult decision, each month of waiting carries its own weight. And when loss comes — whether early, late, or in the devastating silence of a stillbirth — the grief is real and it is profound, regardless of how others respond to it.

I work with this population because I have lived it.

My wife and I experienced five late-term miscarriages and the stillbirth of our son. We went through parts of the IVF process. I know what it is to sit in a clinic waiting room, to receive a devastating phone call, to grieve in a way that the world around you doesn't quite recognize as grief. I know what it costs.

That experience — held alongside 20 years of clinical training in trauma, EMDR, AEDP, and IFS — means I can offer something most therapists cannot: genuine understanding, not just professional compassion.

Whether you are in the middle of fertility treatment, grieving a loss, navigating the complex emotions of pregnancy after loss, or working through the aftermath of a difficult birth experience, this is a space that can hold all of it.

You don't have to explain the details to be understood here.

Who I work with: Individuals and those navigating infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, and perinatal trauma.

Executives, professionals, and high performers are often the last people to ask for help — and the ones who need it most. The higher the stakes, the more isolated the role, and the less room there seems to be to acknowledge what the pressure is actually doing to you.

I understand that world. I spent 20 years in executive leadership before retraining as a therapist. I know what it means to carry a team, make decisions under pressure, maintain composure in rooms where showing uncertainty feels like a liability.

I also know what happens when that pressure has nowhere to go.

I work with executives, lawyers, physicians, and other high-functioning professionals on the intersection of performance, identity, stress, and wellbeing — using EMDR, AEDP, and IFS to address what's underneath the surface, not just manage the symptoms on top of it.

This is not coaching. It's clinical therapy delivered with a genuine understanding of the world you operate in and what it asks of you.

What brings people here: Burnout that rest isn't fixing. Anxiety that's starting to affect performance. A sense that something needs to change but not knowing what. Major transitions — role changes, exits, succession. The quiet cost of years of high-pressure work.

Confidentiality and discretion are absolute.

I work with couples to restore an emotional connection and increase both emotional and physical intimacy.

EFT is the most researched and effective approach for distressed couples. It was developed in the ’80s and has a very strong empirical base. It as been tested and shown to create improvements in 90% of the couples that come to therapy.

As its name suggests, it is an approach that focuses on how people deal with their emotions, how they send emotional signals to their spouse, and how this emotion becomes the music of their interactional dance. As an attachment-oriented approach it assumes that we all have very deep needs for safe connection and emotional contact, and that when we don’t get those needs, we get stuck in very negative interactional patterns.

EFT gets right to the heart of the problems that keep relationships from being deeply satisfying. It is designed to stop the negative and stuck patterns in marriages and other primary relationships, transforming them into the loving, caring connection and understanding you desire.
