I use an eclectic and integrated approach borrowing techniques from person centered, psychodynamic, solution focused, narrative, cognitive, and existential psychotherapy. In addition, I explore concepts from Bowen family system related to family systems. The techniques I have been trained in are grounded in research and evidenced based. Ultimately, however technique/theories are subordinate to our relationship which is my utmost priority in developing with you. Moreover, genuineness, empathy, and being non-judgmental are essential to our counseling relationship. It is my aim to provide you a safe space to come forth and explore what is challenging you. I like to focus on issues fundamental to the core human condition such as anxiety, meaning making, purpose, freedom, responsibility, self-actualization, self-worth, guilt and acceptance. Analysis of these conditions/concepts during our sessions brings insight which is the key to change. Insight uncovers blind spots, which once uncovered allows the development of willpower necessary to comprise solutions needed for desired change. I believe people strive for self-actualization, authenticity, and potentialities so the goal of therapy is to empower as to not create dependency. Other aims of the therapeutic process are to remove or negotiate obstacles that impede self-actualization and increase congruence between the real and perceived self. Anxieties stem from consequences of inevitable life conditions. Awareness and self-determination are major goals for change. Accepting core human conditions can bring about the awareness necessary for change. You can take control, create meaning, and confront life’s challenges to make sense and meaning of your world. My job is to help you discover those meanings and stand beside you as you confront the aforementioned challenges. I specialize in working with men who are professionals at the senior and executive level as well as other high/stress, high/impact careers in healthcare, law, tech, and engineering who have made it to the top of the mountain and yet somehow feel like they do not belong or that what they are doing is not “good enough.”
