Hi, I'm Rick.
After 25 years of hearing from clients that I help them to grow, change and solve the problems that bring them into therapy, I take pride in being a caring, compassionate and skilled therapist. Research has demonstrated that successful therapy depends upon the relationship between the therapist and the client.
You can trust me to respect you, understand you and guide you in a collaborative therapeutic process. You can safely bring your frustrations, sadness, anxiety, shame or other feelings into therapy as we work through them in ways that improve your happiness and sense of well being.
Couples working with me have been successful in getting unstuck from alienation, conflict and loneliness and have moved to greater intimacy and satisfaction. Clients who are dealing with varying life stage and family issues tell me they value my experience in navigating them through this complex terrain to solid footing.
I have extensive experience in aging and grief issues, whether these are the client's own or those of a loved one you are trying to assist; I would like to help you.
Please call or email for a free consultation and to determine if we’re a good match.
