The ideal client is someone who wants to get a different perspective, who wants to address personal challenges and recognizes that their life's work is defined by how well they manage those challenges. I am interested in working with people who want to live their best lives. Spiritual emergence is the term that best describes the process of self-discovery and self-actualization. Spirituality in this context is the realization of one's potential and the recognition that the things that get in the way are the inevitable hurdles to transformation.

I believe hu man potential holds no bounds. That said, we are often constrained by our own self-limiting beliefs, and the resulting patterns of behavior can hinder personal growth. Self-defeating beliefs and narratives are frequently accompanied by a variety of negative responses, such as; anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, etc. As Henry Ford famously said, “Whether you believe you can or believe you can't...you're right". Together we will help you realize the former. I work with clients holistically, utilizing EMDR, CBT, mindfulness and other modalities, I am also able to provide Christian counseling.

I deeply understand the depth and impact that trauma has on the hu man soul.
Do you ever feel like you are highly sensitive or have trouble sorting through all of your thoughts and emotions? Do you find yourself wondering why you have negative feelings and thoughts when everything in life seems to be okay? Are depression and anxiety showing up often in your life? Is it hard for you to relax or find peace of mind? Do you ever feel so uncomfortable in your body for no apparent reason? Sometimes our prior negative experiences can stick with us, even if we thought we were "over it."

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.
