I believe that therapy is about listening effectively and helping unpack complicated situations to examine options and pick the best path forward. There are no right or wrong choices, just what makes sense and works for you.

I take a positive approach to patient care by treating every individual with dignity and respect while offering a collaborative, patient-centered, non-judgmental concentration that underscores the nature of the therapeutic relationship. I work to foster a sense of safety, open communication, and validation of your subjective experience while simultaneously promoting your growth and well-being through gentle challenges and enhancement of introspection, reflection, and intrinsic motivation.

Accepting new clients remotely and in person. I've practiced psychotherapy for over 40 years, and during most of that time also taught psychiatric residents at Johns Hopkins Medical School. My areas of specialization are bipolar type 2 and borderline personality condition. I've also worked with many entrepreneurs since the publication of my book, The Hypomanic Edge: The Link Between (a Little) Craziness and (a Lot of) Success in America. What's different about me is that after receiving traditional training, I've integrated it with meditation. Mindfulness, especially when combined with therapy, provides calm, objective self-awareness that leads to self-control, which may lessen the need for medication. More meditation can mean less medication. More recently, I'm working with research subjects who have undergone psilocybin therapy for a book, "The Cosmic Consciousness Cure." Affecting the same brain areas as meditation, psilocybin therapy produces a quantum leap in mindfulness. I'd be happy to speak with anyone seeking legal psilocybin treatment. I can't provide it, but it is now legally available in Oregon, and I would be happy to work with clients on integrating that experience.

If you’re feeling stuck—knowing what’s hard but unsure how to break through—you're not alone. Whether you're grappling with trauma, anxiety, or the lasting effects of sexual or domestic abuse, it’s normal to feel uncertain about the next step. Therapy can be a safe and powerful space to unpack these struggles, find clarity, and learn how to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

I approach therapy as a partnership between you and me. You know you best and I know mental health. Between the two of us, we will develop a customized approach to help you heal from long-term wounds that just don’t seem to shift with self-help books, podcasts, or short-term work. I work best with individuals who are committed to treatment and thrive in developing a long-term relationship with a provider to help navigate complex issues like generalized anxiety, trauma, dissociation, and attachment issues. Most of my clients work with me on childhood trauma they have spent a lifetime avoiding, but now notice showing up in daily life as panic attacks, insomnia, appetite problems, relationship issues, and unpleasant memories.
