Therapy Is a Journey
Most people seek therapy because they're stuck and are recycling unhealthy (and even dysfunctional) life patterns. For some, therapy helps in coping with a stressful issue or making a needed change, or simply to get a different perspective on an issue. Getting stuck, the constant recycling of unresolved issues, and living out unhealthy patterns, frequently lead to depression, anxiety, anger, alcohol use, chronic couple's issues, family conflicts, or deeper feelings of distress.
Whether you focus on a defiant teenager, or deep-seated anxiety, depression, divorce support, grief and loss, family and couple's issues, anger, addictive behavior, or recent life stressors--real change will take emotional energy, time, and effort. Nonetheless, it may the best work you will have accomplished in your lifetime, which is why many see therapy as a journey of discovery, healing and transformation.
My hope is that you are looking for someone who is very "human": warm and comforting, down to earth, easy to talk to, engaging, understanding, emotionally available, challenging, encouraging, and a bit witty.

My very human credentials
While it's easy to talk about one's professional background as a psychologist, my real and most important credentials are those of being a Dad, Step-Dad and Husband. It is these "credentials" that make the greatest difference to me as a therapist and to my clients.
