Core aspects that guide my work include the view that human beings are health-seeking and 'risk-takers.' My practice is creative, alive, and rooted in contact and relationship. I will collaborate with you to support your development into the healthy person you were meant to be. We may work indoors or in nature, with conventional talk therapy or experientially. My style as a therapist is to nurture and later to confront and challenge, at your pace. My specializations are men's issues, parenting, anger and identity. I combine training and experience in the natural world with Gestalt practice.
