About My Clients
I help men with ADHD get a handle on the challenges and complexity of having ADHD. I also help them deal with things that often come with ADHD like depression, anxiety, job issues, relationship issues, OCD, and rejection sensitivity. I also have experience helping couples, especially when one of the partners has ADHD. As an aside, I have plenty of experience with clients without ADHD and also love working with women too.
My Background and Approach
I am an existential therapist. I help clients, when appropriate, explore major life themes like freedom, death, meaning, and isolation. We talk about how these themes can present themselves in your life and how to get clear on your values and what you want for the future as well as how to re-interpret the past to let go of anger, guilt, and shame. I am a very insight oriented therapist and my goal is to help you see your problems or self in a new way by learning about your unconscious patterns and gaining insight into your life, personality, and tendencies.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I love animals. We have several cats. We also put praying mantises in the backyard every year and used to have three chameleons. My wife wants to get a bird someday. I'm not sure about that. I would love a bee colony at some point in the future. I love to garden and am passionate about planting native plant species. I'd love to plant natives while living on a farm in retirement. I am fluent in Spanish and have a couple of friends in Colombia. I'd love to travel more of South America. I also believe we live in a world of precarity, stress, and pressure. Society tells us we should always be productive and that relaxation is wrong. It also pushes us to want more, do more, and be more. Be better spouses and friends, make more money, want bigger houses, and live more idyllic lives. In the background of all of this are big open questions about the future and what will happen in regards to the rise of Trumpism, climate change, housing cost, and other existential issues.
