Gosh, how do I YELP an awesome therapist!?…read more Larry is an incredibly compassionate person that also happens to be a therapist. Perhaps that's the "secret sauce." Talking to Larry is always non-threatening and you're sure to feel safe talking about those not-so-pleasant things that brings you to a therapist's office in the first place. Larry listens to you as a real person and the dialogue is never sterile or cold. Larry's therapy style is traditional, yet genuinely warm and caring. I can personally say that my life has dramatically changed since I started working with him. Larry always encouraged me to teach...something I never thought of doing. Guess what? I began teaching in my field of interest and I am pursuing Master level credentials. Goals are now becoming realities. I can't say enough good things about Larry. My only regret - someone beat me at being the first to YELP him here :)

From the owner: I strive for individuals to understand how to live and relate authentically according to their own…read moresensibilities and intentions with confidence and consideration. An individual I worked with said, "The only people who are normal, are the ones you don't know very well." This has proven true in life and in practice. Individuals rarely achieve normal, but resolve a version for themselves. Too often we limit ourselves, live in self-isolation, in our thoughts, beliefs, aspirations, or what we want from relationships. Change requires clarifying who we are, and having our concerns addressed. In healthy relationships individuals are able to openly communicate, without reprimand, or their partner personalizing what they've said. I encourage couples to develop Differentiation: recognizing individuality can mutually exist with commitment. The opposite of differentiation is enmeshment, becoming entangled, giving up one's identity to avoid repercussions but later resenting it.
