Male Therapists in Middletown, RI

All people strive to live happier and healthier lives, with less suffering. I understand that it is important to be heard and witnessed in an empathic, judgment-free environment. My therapeutic approach is holistic based, as I believe it is important to address the mind, body and spirit, while we work together, to help you live a more authentic and meaningful life. I also specialize in a variety of integrative, evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Contact me and we can talk a little more to explore if we are a good fit to help you meet your goals.

Have you thought about seeing a therapist, but the idea of talking to a stranger stops you from taking the next step? Perhaps you have needed this for a long time, and you have finally decided to take the next step? My style is warm, collaborative, and down to earth. Lets face it, we live in a stressful society where we need additional support. I know reaching out can be difficult so I try to make the process as simple as possible. You can call, email and/or text me to set up an appointment. I maintain a highly responsive, accessible, and concierge-type practice so you can have as much or little support you in along the way!

Welcome. I am a licensed psychologist in private practice, providing evidence-based counseling and psychotherapy for individuals across the lifespan. I have over 20 years of experience providing supportive, professional care to persons struggling with a variety of issues, including: anxiety; depression; stress management; sports/performance psychology; spiritual/religious concerns; loss/grief; relationship difficulties; and trauma.

I am a holistic therapist that honors and cherishes your innate inner potential and possibility. I have worked with individuals, couples, parents, and families that are not experiencing their deepest aspirations and desires. Through an integrative holistic approach to therapy, you can be reminded of and accept your innate ability to realize your infinite potential and unimaginable possibility. This allows you to overcome the barriers that hinder living the life you desire. The holistic approach is an existential strengths based approach that works through mind, body, and spirit to gently guide you toward acceptance and recognition of your innate ability.

The process of selecting a therapist can add stress to the issue you are seeking help for. You want someone knowledgeable, someone you feel comfortable with, someone you can trust, and most of all, someone who will take the time to really listen to you and understand what you are experiencing. I've been a mental health professional for over 25 years working in settings including community mental health, private practice, and over half my career in military hospitals and clinics. I offer Telehealth to Hawaii. Florida, Virginia, & Rhode Island residents. Appointments outside of work hours for those on the East Coast available.

Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing can be daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. Our therapy services provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you are heard, understood, and valued. We specialize in a range of therapeutic modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). These powerful approaches have helped countless individuals overcome the effects of trauma, manage distressing symptoms, and enhance their emotional well-being. We believe in the power of human resilience and the capacity for change.

I work with individual adults and teenagers who are going through a difficult time in their lives. Most often they are experiencing some kind of stressful event, such as difficulty in a relationship or work/school related problems, some form of loss, or simply general dissatisfaction in their lives. Many have some degree of anxiety or depression and find therapy a helpful means of managing these feelings. Over the years I have also worked with many survivors of sexual abuse, people coping with cancer, MS, ALS, and 9/11 first responders and veterans who were coping with trauma, loss and PTSD.

People are constantly moving towards life or moving away from it. My goal is to help individuals gain the skills to recognize these shifts but there is no cookie-cutter approach to therapy. By maintaining respectful curiosity for their unique story clients' values are clarified and their realities expanded. Someone I really admire once said, "you don't know what you think until you've said it." However which way you may be feeling "stuck" in life I invite you to come figure it out with me.

Not every dilemma is a disorder, not every sadness a sickness. While the pandemic, climate change, political polarization, all increase the awareness of existential threats, my clients seek to move toward value, value in relationships, in work, play, in nature. While acknowledging some validity of the concept of “mental disorders” and benefiting from my past working with it, they wish to move beyond the constraints of a diagnosis. Working collaboratively, we engage constructively with the full range of emotion while challenging automatic attachment to our default interpretations. Indeed, we are research guided, relationahip driven.
