Welcome to my website.  I recently moved from California with my wife, daughter and son to make a new home in Portland, Maine.    I've now opened up a practice in downtown Portland where I am seeing clients.  As a therapist, I am active, optimistic, and believe in becoming allies with the people I see.  I think that therapy should take you somewhere you have not yet been, as well as connecting you with the skills and knowledge you already possess.  I also realize that calling a therapist can take considerable courage, and it's good to know as much as you can before taking the plunge.  I hope this site helps to demystify therapy and gives you a clear sense of how I work. 

Here's a tour of the site:

About My Practice

This describes what I actually "do" as a therapist and how I think about what I do.

 

What is Narrative Therapy?

For years I've been drawn to a way of working called “Narrative Therapy,” an approach that assists people to separate from the effects of problems, and helps bring forth the abilities, skills and solutions people already possess.  This page describes the approach in more detail.
