Mono y Mono- just you and I working together to help you tell the whole truth to yourself and then figure out what to do about it. There is an art to actuating change (way more than just talking about it). It’s about relationship and conversation first. Yes, I know lots of therapy stuff, but you can read and watch videos about all that stuff. As a fellow human with a personality and decades of lived experience as an empath, I feel that I can bring the good stuff to life; to make it real and relevant for you right now- that’s the magic of rapport.

As a Gottman (Level 1 Certified) trained therapist, I love working with couples. There is alot that they don’t tell you in the brochure about committed relationshships. I love using truth-telling, empathy and a healthy dose of humor to help couples strengthen their bond. I have all sorts of tools and tricks to bring on healing. Also, as a dude, I know what’s it’s like to be the dude in counseling so I make sure to keep the dude in it! I feel strongly that people should not dread therapy- and I have lots of ways to make it light when needed, and keep it interesting! (Being married for 23 years doesn’t hurt either).

When I first started working with adolescents I was terrified! Who knows what is really going on in that mind of theirs? But then, I began to relax, listen and learn how to build genuine connection with them. It turns out, they are humans too (they are just not as far along in the process of development as adults). I like to meet them where they are as opposed to where everyone else might like them to be- I find this to be part of the “secret sauce”.
