Connection is an important part of our personal development, growth, and overall health. Sometimes even the simple things are difficult to manage on our own, let alone the greater hurdles life can present. Dealing with loss, grief, trauma, abuse, behavioral patterns, and difficult decisions can paralyze us. I work with you to establish and become that connection that you can trust, a conduit to a healthier place, where resilience and agency within your life reside. The counseling connection can be fertile ground to find personal creativity to conquer some of life’s biggest conquests.

Depression, anxiety, and a sense of being stuck in the 'same old thing' are common themes. Marital is my post masters training area of emphasis. I also offer courses for premarital and co-parenting. Military, Police, First-Responders, Veterans, and their families are populations I specifically want to support. To do this I practice an evidenced based trauma therapy called EMDR that uses the body's built-in processes for digesting maladaptive information.

"Over the past few years, the demand for mental health services has increased. The field of mental health, in efforts to meet this demand, has caused the technique of counseling to become commercialized. When I created Harris & Harris my mission was to create a business practice that was ethically driven to get back to the basics of counseling. Customer volume should never be a measurement of success within a business, but providing consistent quality service should always be a measurement standard."

We all experience a multitude of emotions, and, sadly, we aren't always shown the best way to communicate and work through these emotions. Instead, we often try to push them to the side. This can easily lead to difficulties in our relationships, conflict in our families, to us feeling isolated, and asking the question, "What's wrong with me?". I work with children, adolescents, and adults to help them navigate these emotions, understand their behaviors, and find connection.

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.
