My Approach to Therapy

Therapy for Mid-Life Transitions is my area of specialization. There are few things in life we can be sure of, but one of them is change. Our lives are always changing whether we want them to or not. With change, even "good change" brings loss. We all experience big and small losses throughout our lives. The break up of an important relationship, a parents divorce or departure, a betrayal (loss of trust), illness or injury, the death of a loved one. Loss is inevitable and requires grieving. Grieving (even small losses) moves us through to the other side and into the light again. If we are unable to truly grieve our losses, we are stuck in the dark, somewhere inside. So much of what I try to help people with is to know more about how they truly feel so they can grieve old losses and move forward.

Groups I Work With

Mid life is a transitional time full of change and navigating new territory. I work with people who are struggling with these changes (aging, health, divorce, loss of loved ones, parenting, caring for aging parents, work related stressors) to find ways to live fully despite these challenges. I have a special interest in working with men who are looking to improve their current relationships, going through a divorce or break up, looking to find a life partner, or just improve overall connectedness with others in their lives. If you are a young(ish) adult trying to create a satisfying and meaningful adult life - I can help. I specialize in helping people in their 20's and 30's clear obstacles (both internal and external) and move forward in creating the life they want. I'm LGBTQAI Friendly and welcoming to people living in marginalized outsider communities.
