It is not our choices that contribute to our well-being. It is the decisions that we make about those choices that determine our well-being in the future. My commitment regarding includes the examination of Process Addictions. Process Addictions include destructive behaviors that can include sex, gambling, food, cyber-technology, work, etc. Counseling and treatment will include a thorough evaluation of all aspects of one’s behaviors so that the foundation to one’s healing process is strong enough to endure the courage to discover “who you are” rather than “what you are”.

Often times in therapy, issues are addressed superficially only. This leads to a recurrence of episodes where the patient seems to improve but never really resolve their issues. A psychodynamic approach targets the roots of the problems, not simply the symptoms. My aim is the core, the starting point of it all, and from there work to resolve whatever else stems from that origin. My goal is for the patient to live a wholesome, functional, but above all, a meaningful life.

Integrated Therapy is an approach to healing and growth that views the individual as an integrated whole...mind, body, and spirit. My journey into the counseling world and my desire to help others centers around this concept. This process centers upon viewing the individual holistically; mind, body, and spirit and is enacted by not only using traditional talk therapy, which focuses on our life story and patterns of behavior, but by looking at the system in its entirety. Together, we will look to see where this system can be improved upon in order to navigate a solution to your problems.

Male Therapists
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.
