My Ideal Client

I work with couples who are struggling to find harmony and connection in their relationship. My favorite clients to work with are the ones who are ready to work hard to make the changes in themselves to improve their relationship. I work with couples who are open and ready to hearing the truth about their negative pattern of interaction that is contributing to their relationship challenges.

My Approach to Helping

We will explore any relevant past trauma & family of origin contributions to each of your part of the negative interactions. I will teach you new skills so you will have increased positive interactions. Our therapy will ask you to change how you relate to yourself just as much as how you relate with your partner. I use Relational Life Therapy as my primary approach.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

I also offer consulting services for family-owned businesses and coaching leaders in organizations. I roamed the Sierra Nevada mountains as an Outward Bound Instructor. I have past training and experience in the healing arts as a yoga teacher and Craniosacral Therapist. I am passionate about men’s work: I have facilitated men's process groups and I have been in my own peer-led men's group for 20 years. My undergraduate degree is in Philosophy and Religion from UC Santa Barbara. I hold a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Lewis & Clark College. These days when I’m not working, you can usually find me hanging out with my wife and two daughters, making bad dad jokes, going for camping adventures. I enjoy taking acting & improv classes, making electronic music, cooking up a storm, walking my pups, and mountain biking. My #1 self-care is taking a hot sauna followed by a wickedly long cold plunge!
