Observations on
Relationships, Identity,
and the Work of Becoming.
A Therapist, Filmmaker, and Student of Human Nature.
There are moments in life when who we've been is no longer enough. A relationship changes. A career succeeds while something inside quietly disappears. A child is born. A parent dies. Most people don't arrive in therapy because they're broken. They arrive because life is asking them to become someone new. I help people understand the patterns that shape their relationships—with partners, children, family, work, and themselves. That work takes many forms.

I love to surf with pals. I also love surfing alone, especially when it is quiet and only the sounds of nature can be heard. But occasionally it’s fun to eavesdrop on others’ conversations in the water. Such was the scenario today.
Envy is Not a Bad Four Letter Word
“In the space between stimulus and response lies our freedom. When we pause long enough to feel what’s actually true, we can choose something different.”

Whether you're navigating relationship patterns, identity questions, life transitions, anxiety, or depression, I work with the narratives underneath. We slow down enough to see what's real—not the story you've been told about yourself, but what you're actually feeling. From there, real change becomes possible.

Couples and families get stuck in old patterns because we're moving too fast to see each other clearly. I help you slow down—to recognize what's really happening between you, and in you. Whether you're rebuilding trust, improving communication, or healing family dynamics, this work requires both practical tools and the courage to show up differently.

I offer nature therapy sessions near the ocean, providing a inspiring environment for individuals seeking holistic well-being and a renewed relationship with their bodies.
By integrating the energetic power of the waves, the vastness of the sea, and the calming coastal ambiance, these sessions offer a unique opportunity for introspection and growth.
Research has shown the benefits of incorporating movement into one’s life, including stimulating creativity and decreases in incidents of depression.
This can occur in alternation with in-office psychotherapy sessions, or serve as the primary space of the therapeutic experience.
I offer this Monday - Friday from 9:30am - 1:00Ppm

Inspired in part by working with clients; sons and fathers of sons, of all ages, as well as the work of Michael J. Diamond, I have started a process and skills group for Dads.
It is my belief that the role of father has changed dramatically in the span of a generation. Dads are now working from home, no longer disappearing into a void. Dads are now no longer the primary “bread winner”. And I have listened to Dads wonder about the meaning they hold in their own children’s lives.
I am looking forward to facilitating connection between modern dads to learn from one another while sharing experiences that I suspect will resonate.
Please contact me to learn more about joining this group.
