My therapeutic style tends to be direct, blunt, caring, and practical. My professional interests include men's issues (particularly issues common to male survivors of childhood sexual abuse), family change related issues, gay/lesbian/bisexual issues, anxiety disorders, medical and disability-related issues (particularly around HIV), death/grief, spirituality and religion in mental health, ADHD, and career development. My therapeutic orientation is decidedly ecclectic, with a sound training in behavioral, cognitive, systems, and psychodynamic theories.

If you are looking for a therapist to provide a comfortable space and simply ask you how you feel, you will probably dislike my style. Conversely, if the thought of sitting and being asked how you feel for the better part of an hour has kept you from therapy, you might want to give me a try. I am not a fan of therapy for therapy's sake and tend to work towards identifiable and attainable goals. Feelings, beliefs, thoughts, patterns of behavior, prior learning, and societal/familial pressures may all be considered as we work towards these goals.

If you believe that you might be interested in therapy with me, please call the number above. As I am usually in with patients, you will probably have to leave a confidential voice mail with several times when you might be reached, so that I can return your call. In our initial telephone contact, I will seek to determine whether your needs and my skills are a good fit.
