I believe therapy should be comprised of what I call the "3 Cs”: compassion, curiosity, and clarity. My commitment to you is to always come from a compassionate and non-judgmental place. During our work together, we will work on you developing the highest level of compassion for yourself and navigate uncomfortable and painful feelings of shame, confusion, guilt, anger, regret, hopelessness, and simply feeling “not good enough.” Curiosity is a fundamental part of our work. I will encourage you to ask yourself: ‘Why do I feel this way?’ ‘Why do I have this relationship?’, ‘Why do I engage in this behavior, when I know it’s bad for me?

I believe in the Unity of Life. From the earliest single cell forms of life, to the complex hu man organism, there is a basic energetic function that unites: Pain & Pleasure, Thinking & Emotion, Mind & Body, Man & Wo men, Family & Society. When this unitary function is disrupted and blocked, healthy life suffers. Conflict and stress from this unitary disruption often results in irrationality, unhappiness and/or disease.

If you’re anything like me or my clients, you’re very much aware that your overwhelming thoughts and emotions keep coming, even though it seems like you’ve done everything you can to stop them. Maybe you’re stressed and can’t relax, believing that you have to do everything by yourself...but then you’re hard on yourself for having feelings and needs! You likely know you don't want to lose your temper so easily or be controlled by your thoughts, and you know that you want more from your life than how it is now. What you likely don’t know is how to make this vision of a life worth living a reality. You're certainly not alone!

I have worked with: transitional-aged youth and children, couples, college students, queer and trans folks, and men.
There's a lot of talk about "survival mode" and being "stuck". Many of us are surviving or trying to get unstuck from our bodies, our jobs, our families, coming out, college transitions, gender transitions, a relationship in a tough spot, loss, an existential or identity crisis, or coming from a place of certainty to find ourselves in these life challenges. Listen, I won't ever call you out on a place I've never been myself. I believe, fully, that there is so much life after survival. You don't have to believe that too, but I'm so glad you've arrived here.

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.
