The work of the hero and heroine is to restore the authentic self. In this lifetime, we often come to realize that there is neither better nor worse—only the opportunity to embrace life's natural flow and find meaning in its simplicity.
I practice humanistic psychotherapy, informed by my training in classical philosophy and comparative religion. My approach is rooted in the ancient virtues of Celtic, Romanic, and Hellenic traditions, alongside the contemplative practices of Yoga and Zen Buddhism. Drawing on my studies in consciousness, neurobiology, and psychopharmacology, I aim to holistically meet my clients' needs. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where individuals learn to embrace their thoughts and emotions without judgment, better navigate their care, and feel confident in their journey. My practice specializes in counseling men, their partners, and their families, understanding their unique challenges. From redefining masculinity to addressing mental health stigmas, I focus on supporting families through career, marriage, divorce, and aging life transitions. Whether you're preparing for significant life changes, coping with substance use, embarking on a spiritual journey, or seeking guidance in times of illness or hospice care, I am here to help you find your way on your terms. I offer an individualized approach, free from cookie-cutter solutions, new-age jargon, political correctness, unhelpful diagnoses, and orthodoxy. Personal growth, self-understanding, and well-being require real courage, and I guide clients in discovering and overcoming the obstacles that hold them back. The answers we seek are often within us, waiting for sincere exploration. Through our work together, you can access your resilience, deepen your connections, and align with your values, enabling you to live with greater freedom and originality.
Our focus will always be on personal meaning, autonomy, and the freedom to live authentically in spite of living in a plastic society.
