I work with Relationships (couples+), as well as individual adults, who are stuck. You may be on the brink of divorce, facing a difficult life event or transition, or simply feel numb, depressed or anxious--and you need help to get out of the rut, create change and a better life.
First, we look at what you want to change and how you want to be experiencing life differently in 6 months, all while establishing a safe and secure working relationship. I'll make suggestions, and together we'll create a plan and methods for meeting your goals that we revisit every 3 months to ensure we're on track. Most of us had inadequate training in how to successfully relate to both ourselves and others. So we may look at conditioned patterns of relating to yourself and others that may get in the way of what you want to be experiencing. As a relational therapist, what you experience in session is utilized for insight and change. And, as a 63 year fellow life traveler, I bring all my own life experiences to our work together.
I'm trained in and use many modalities, including: Relational Life Therapy, Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, Psycho-biological Approach to Couples Therapy, Marriage Discernment Counseling; as well as CBT, Sensoromotor Psychotherapy, DBT,and Internal Family Systems.
One client told me, 'I always feel better after I talk to you, you can sense my energy and emotions and guide appropriately. I feel like the time is probably the best hour spent for me in the whole week'.
A couple reported 'working with regulation and co-regulation has been very helpful to us, having a mediator has been incredibly helpful to step in and direct, referee. We didn’t know how to unpack this trauma and address it as it comes up in our relationship. We do less ramping each others’ anxiety up and instead learned about how we function in the relationship and how to work better.
Another individual in a couple shared 'I’ve been lucky to have a few good therapists in my life, so I know you are worth our time and money, and we are making progress.'

The couples therapy my wife and I participated in with Kaleo helped me to uncover and take responsibility for my triggers and to not take responsibility for hers. The clarity I attained gave me the courage to make decisions that are much more in line with my core values. I highly recommend Kaleo for couples therapy. The process he uses is effective and he is skilled and compassionate therapist.

Kaleo supported my husband and I as we navigated a season of loss and uncertainty. He provided a safe and compassionate space to ground (virtually) and explore our fears, frustrations, and grief together. He armed us with the communication and self- /co- regulation tools to support and connect with each other rather than push the other away. I really feel that he helped us be able to find pockets of happiness together amidst an immensely challenging time. I highly recommend Kaleo to partners who are navigating life’s challenges and joys together!

I feel very lucky to have found Kaleo. From my first visit I knew I was in very good, capable hands. He has helped me tremendously as I navigate the joys and difficulties of my midlife journey. As a healthcare worker, he understands the impact that working amidst Covid has had our mental health. I absolutely recommend him.

Kaleo came highly recommended as a queer friendly therapist who specialized in couples working specifically with conflict and repair. I appreciated his advice and council. I found it useful and would highly recommend him to others.
