I work best with anyone who is struggling to understand what the world is all about, why are we(me as a human/person) here on the earth, what is our/my purpose, how can I be happy and fulfilled, what are people all about, etc. The most difficult thing we will all be faced with is how do we deal/cope with people!

You have goals, but fear that you won’t live up to your full potential. Trying new things seems to come with too much risk of failure and rejection. You care about others, but struggle to find the words to set boundaries and protect time for yourself. You get anxious with confrontation, and so you become passive, and contain your emotions, which leads to feelings of depression, anxiety, frustration and resentment. You want to be understood, but fear that speaking your mind may result in rejection, criticism or being misunderstood. You want better relationships, but aren’t sure where to start. You are ready to do things differently.

I have practiced psychotherapy for over 40 years. I have developed a parenting educational program and I have written material on the dynamics and structure of a successful marriage which I assign as a homework tool when I am working with couples. We live in our marriages. If the marital structure is healthy and sound, our marriage will nurture us and provide a haven from the stresses of the outside world.

In my experience I've come to know that each person's struggles and strengths are unique, but we're all connected and affected by one another. From this starting point, I hope to build a safe place to process, grow, and develop new skills to overcome life's difficulties. Using an eclectic blend of evidence based practices specifically tailored to each individual, I have treated adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, issues of spirituality, and life transitions. I also have more specialized experience working with those suffering from grief and loss, and have researched and published on the topic as well.

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.
