Focus

I enjoy this work with a wide range of adults, adolescents, and couples, being with them to understand and to feel what’s happening on “the inside”.  Among my areas of specialization is an abiding interest in working with men, many of whom find it difficult to sit with their emotions. Men often find it challenging to connect to feelings, without behaving in self-destructive ways, while at the same time, maintaining a “masculine” identity. I do my very best to create a space in which men can feel, name, describe, and build up the emotional “muscles” to tolerate feelings. This increased ability to experience feelings, allows for the space to choose what to do with those feelings. This is a permanent change that can lead to a happier life.
