I help heal emotional pain and relationship distress. I bring a warm approach to therapy, informed by life experiences in Europe and Asia. I became a therapist after having discovered the meaning of fatherhood. Prior to finding my calling, I worked in technology in large companies, and startups. I also studied and taught international relations theory. I taught the practice of psychotherapy to graduate students and am supervising therapists in training.
I integrate approaches that bring short-term relief and long-term benefits with quality of life, vibrancy, relationships, meaning, and self-appreciation. I use tools that help regulate the nervous system and deepen self-awareness. While tools matter, of deeper significance is the quality of the human relationship in therapy. On it depends the contentment we have with our presence, the quality of relationship with have with ourselves and with others, and the depth of resources available to us.
Clients should expect to take away from sessions with me comfort in their own presence, an understanding of what helps their human system thrive, internal vibrancy, the ability to form deep satisfying relationships, and meaning.
