A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.
Living life doesn’t mean everything is sunshine and roses. But facing the tough parts of life gives you a compass: it deepens self-trust, and gives your struggles real weight, dignity and purpose.
In my experience, people want more than shallow platitudes. People want something that is real, to be seen, to be heard, so they can see and hear themselves.
Who am I?
My role is to walk with you through the creative, productive and often challenging process of gaining personal agency — the ability to let go of worry and shame, the freedom to love, to say “no” and move forward in your life, wherever it leads.
I believe our stories matter deeply, but remember: We are the storytellers, not the stories themselves. Satisfaction is built in. When we learn to detach from the drama of the narrative, life becomes far more interesting.
How did I get here?!
Born and raised in the heart of Philadelphia, just a stone’s throw from the museum steps Rocky made famous, I made the leap to Colorado in 2023. It feels wonderful to be able to say, after a lifetime of traveling and visiting many corners of the world: I have found my home!
I live near the rugged beauty of The Devil’s Backbone with my wife and our two cats. When I’m not in session, you’ll find me leaning into the local landscape through xeriscaping and birdwatching, or out hiking at sunrise. I’m also a novice collagist and woodworker. I find a lot of peace in the slow process of finding stuff here and there; then creating art with it. No wonder I like it; that’s what therapy is too!
