He works with adults of all ages on matters such as self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, spiritual crisis, relationship issues and the many manifestations of loss.
Being hu man is not easy. It can be challenging to find something safe to rely on to when so much changes, sometimes without warning. Therapy provides a unique space to safely explore the painful parts of hu man experience, including difficulties with anxiety, depression or relationship issues, for example. Therapy can give the support and safety needed to explore and understand your experience, and often to reframe the beliefs, feelings and behaviours of your lived experience, so that ultimately you suffer less.

Some of my key areas of expertise and clinical/research interests are: sexuality/sexual health concerns, problematic sexual behaviour, substance abuse addiction and recovery, relationship/couples issues, individuals and couples who identify as LGBTQIA+/GSRD, masculinity and men's mental health and multiculturalism.
Welcome! I am a U.S. based psychotherapist and accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). I offer a person-centered, compassionate, and systemic approach to therapy. I consider working with each client to be a privilege and a collaborative therapeutic experience. One area of sexual health in which I specialise is Out of Control Sexual Behaviour (OCSB). OCSB is defined as “a sexual problem of consensual sexual urges, thoughts, or behaviours that feel out of control for the individual.” If you are interested in improving your sexual health and relationships, please contact me for more info.

Life can feel like a rollercoaster at times. Talking to someone can help you make sense of what is going on for you. Slowly you can start to put these negative thoughts and feelings into perspective. We will explore these thoughts and feelings. This allows you to understand why you feel the way you do and it begins the process of change. I support people through a wide range of issues including: stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, loss, bereavement, sexual identity, gender issues, LGBTQI, alcohol and substance abuse, compulsive behaviours, motivation, self-esteem and self-confidence.

My work draws on those currents which have been helpful to me in my own life: hu manistic psychology, Focusing-experiential therapy, Person-Centred theory, Gestalt, sensory awareness, mythology.
People who come to therapy want to make changes in their life. At some time we will all face circumstances which challenge our resilience: illness; bereavement and mortality; depression and anxiety; trauma and violence; relationship problems; career difficulties; loss of identity; spiritual crisis. When difficult experiences leave us feeling helpless and stuck, the work of self-exploration opens new doors of possibility.

The first step is definitely one of the hardest, it's filled with so many doubts and questions and fear.
Sometimes in life you need a place to explore the difficulties that arise. Either behaviours, feelings or emotions. At times you need to be listened to confidentially and without judgement. What troubles our minds can have such a negative impact on the quality of our lives. Psychological troubles come in many forms, relational both to oneself and to others, grief and loss, behavioural problems from anxiety or depression and rage or sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what it is, only a sense that things are not right. The first brave step to take is to share that difficulty.

You may have fears, anxieties that limit your life. Some issues may seem too difficult to resolve. You may need to explore some things in your life that are difficult to discuss with those who are close to you.

Life and relating to others can at times feel very hard. Please do contact me if any or a combination of the following reflect your experience as my support seems to be most effective in these areas: Feeling alone or isolated; living with a sense of fear, dread or being overwhelmed; trying to cope with events that are or have been ‘traumatic’; lacking confidence in your own abilities and judgement; or having a sense of deep pain. I believe and know that despite the pain and distress these can cause, there is also the possibility for healing, growth, making changes and (re)finding a sense of self, purpose and joy in life again.

I use different processes to explore the triggers & find new ways to manage couple conflict.
I first became interested in counselling as a way for me to find happiness in my own life. I am now dedicated to help others suffering from anxiety within their own life, among other things. I appreciate how hard it can be when you are struggling with life and with issues of a private nature. My aim is to help others find happiness in their life again.

Primarily, I deal in the areas of Low Self-esteem, Depression, Anxiety, LGBTQ+, Grief & Loss, Sexuality, Inner Child Wounds and Anger Management.
I welcome all clients regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Clients who have experienced traumatic episodes in their life. Clients who have felt they have always been on their own. They may have always felt that they have had no one to protect them, never felt loved or nurtured. Clients who feel they are totally disconnected with who they are. Such clients may feel they are totally lost and have no direction in their life. I welcome all such clients to my practice. Together we will find the reconnection to Self and in doing so find a purpose and goal in life.

I am deeply passionate about the hu man experience and bring a unique blend of spirituality and science to the work.
As a therapist, I believe in the transformative power of hu man connections on our overall well-being. I recognise that our relationships with others serve as the cornerstone of our physical and mental health. However, I also acknowledge that many of us struggle to find genuine ease and trust in these connections due to various life experiences, and perhaps have never been able to be fully at ease with other hu man beings. In my practice, I see my role as that of a facilitator, providing a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their obstacles and work towards overcoming them.

My own experience has demonstrated to me the immense healing that can take place in one being able to fully express themselves without fear of judgment. It is my role as a psychotherapist to provide an environment of empathy, safety and support, so that emotional and mental growth will occur naturally. My approach to psychotherapy is to facilitate growth through the skill of active and mindful listening and non directive guidance.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
