About Me

Working with men has been a very rewarding experience to hear so many share with me their stories, ones that I have frequently experienced in my own life.  As I see more and more men, adolescents, college age or professionals, it becomes apparent how frequently they are struggling with the same issues: self-criticism; shame; loss of identity; becoming addicted to alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, anything to help them feel more confident and sure of themselves; arguing with loved ones; acting out.  More than anything though, they all seemed to feel alone in their pain.

My practice is informed by my own, on-going, personal journey of self-discovery.  Through that journey, I've learned that there are key ingredients and skills that sometimes can only be learned in the presence of a genuine connection and an understanding ear.
