About My Clients

You've caught a glimpse of yourself unfolding the fullness of your capacities back into the universe. Sometimes you dare to believe this person could really be you. But how exactly are you moving forward into such a reality? Your attempts thus far have met with resistance, uncertainty, and excruciating pain. There are no taboos here. We can even start with the assumption that your happiness is hopeless. Now with that out of the way... are you willing to move toward wholeness?

My Background and Approach

The Tools by Stutz and Michels. IFS (Internal Family Systems) by Dick Schwartz. REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) by Albert Ellis. ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) by Russ Harris. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) by Marsha Linehan. I'm informed by the work of Carl Jung, William James, Alan Watts, Robert Bly, Peter Kingsley and anyone else willing to harmonize the rational and irrational aspects of human experience.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe your skin color, your gender, and who you have sex with are the least interesting facts about you. I prefer the sort of religion that does not require faith. but affords all the benefits of fellowship and mystical experiences along with all the benefits of evidence-based practices like meditation and psychotherapy. I believe we are all like lenses... carefully designed tools to gather, magnify, and shine light. What is the light? You tell me.
