I offer therapy grounded in science and wisdom, specializing in men’s issues, midlife issues, and mental illness in relationships. My approach combines Jungian psychotherapy with an emphasis on personal values and actions to address depression, trauma, relationship quality, and overall life satisfaction. I am is a leading author on the topic of "psychological energy," and I've been working with clients since 2010.
A typical session might start out with a discussion about your concerns of the day or a topic you bring to the session. Then we might deepen into a discussion about how these concerns relate to a formative experience, such as a trauma or a parental attachment, or a common pattern in your life. We might explore an archetypal story, myth, or character that illuminates to this patten. We’ll talk about what this means to you in relation to your sense of self and your personal values. Then the question is what to do with this new insight. We might talk about actions to take in your life, or we might explore an embodiment or mindfulness practice to release an emotional charge around the situation during the session.
In the best cases, my clients gain new eyes through which to see the world. Trauma and depression are processed, and new life and relationship skills are integrated into day-to-day life. The goal is for change to occur in the body-mind, so you don't just know what needs to change, you live a transformed life.
