I view my role as a psychotherapist as a facilitator of the healing and growing process that is emerging in you. Whatever symptoms you are experiencing, rather than being seen solely as “problems” that need to be fixed or eliminated, they may be understood from the perspective of a natural, innate movement toward our fundamental okayness. By learning how to bring awareness to what is arising in our direct felt experience, with a sense of curiosity and gentleness, we engage a process that can bring clarity and relief, dissolving the barriers to feeling better.
I work from somatically-oriented Existential, Gestalt Therapy and Internal Family Systems perspectives. PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) guides my work with couples.
I’m a husband, a father of 2 and former business executive. I hold an an MBA from the University of Michigan and an MA in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University. Since 2004 I’ve studied and practiced Buddhist meditation with teachers in the Theravada, Tibetan and Zen traditions.
I have engaged wholeheartedly in my own personal psychotherapeutic and personal growth journey and I welcome the opportunity to support you in yours.
