About Therapy with Me

It takes one to know one.

I specialize in the problems that I know intimately.

I know what it feels like to be sick to my stomach with anxiety, wishing that the intrusive thoughts racing around and around in my head would just quiet down for a minute.

I’ve spent sleepless nights worrying about my job, my kids, my marriage, and my future.

I’ve been unable to get out of bed because the depression sapped all my motivation, desire, and will to engage in life.

I’ve been too ashamed to tell anyone about the things a family friend did to me when I was a kid.

I’ve struggled with all my might to say “no” to that drink.

I’ve lived these things and recovered from them, and I want to help you do the same.

I’ve walked the walk.

All the book learning I’ve done about mental health and psychotherapy is great, but what helps me connect to my clients so powerfully is the fact that I’ve lived it.

I know what it’s like, and that changes everything.

It enables me to see you clearly and changes the approach I take and interventions I use.

It also changes how my clients feel about me.

They feel truly understood and seen.

They know I’m not just following a checklist or repeating what I’ve read in books and learned in seminars.

The work I do with my clients echoes work I have done myself, which gives me an intuitive understanding that creates a profound interpersonal connection and generates insights that convert to meaningful and powerful change.

Change your life by changing your mind.

Being a therapist gives me the sense of purpose I searched for during the first 20 years of my career.

It has also given me the opportunity to make something meaningful out of my own mental health battles.

I’ve seen my clients conquer their pasts, transform their lives, and find inner peace they never thought possible.

I’d like to help you do the same.
