Lost in a sea of therapy choices? I don't blame you. There's a lot out there. Therapy can often become slow and repetitive, general and fuzzy. That's why I specialize in ISTDP, Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. ISTDP was developed to help you get to the root cause of your difficulties as swiftly as possible, so you can reclaim your inner freedom sooner.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

No lengthy intakes: From the very first session, we'll hone in on the core of your dilemma in a time-limited framework of up to 12 sessions. Why wait longer for positive change?

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Have you been to therapy before but were left underwhelmed? Maybe you are looking for a more dynamic experience.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Maybe you'd rather take the direct route than the scenic route in therapy even if it's more challenging and sometimes out of your comfort zone. Maybe you are looking for someone to help you cut through all the background noise and therapy buzzwords so you can really sense what is real and authentic. If so, I am ready to help.

Ken is very adept at recognizing root causes and explaining the relevance of emotional dynamics. He has a way of validating my experience while at the same time being direct. His observations challenge me to stay with, actually feel and unpack my emotions instead of relying on intellectualizing the experiences I bring to the table.
