Life can be confusing, relationships can be stressful, and the present can make you feel anxious or depressed. Sometimes a painful past can surface into the moment, especially when situations are difficult or when you are experiencing major change. During these periods your mood and thoughts can be affected in negative ways. When you are feeling alone, disconnected, or confused, talking things through can make all the difference.

If asked what brought me into this crazy field, two answers surface. First, I was exposed as a child to my father's special ed students, so-called problem kids. Then, I soon found myself one of those people! Adolescence brought anger, rejection, depression and anxiety.
These experiences, along with getting three degrees in psychology, have helped me develop a compassion and passion for helping those struggling with life's issues. Although I never push faith,becoming a Christian has helped as well. After 25 years working with couples, mood, anxiety and personality problems, I am still liking my job!

As a therapist for the last 12 years I've learned, building a strong and trusting relationship with a client is the primary goal. It is of utmost importance that I am trustworthy and respectful to everyone I encounter in my office, because the reality is, we all have encountered difficulties and challenges that we aren't sure how to resolve and having someone we can trust that has experience to navigate difficult situations can be of immense value.

We are a social species. Hard wired for connection. We are bundles of potential energy, unfolding throughout our lives as we weave our unique expression into the hu man mosaic. While we are capable of far more than we know, emotional wounds, traumatic experiences, old habits of surviving in the world, and a myriad of stressors often come rushing in to block this unfolding. When we find ourselves stuck, lost, or simply worn out, we must remember the wisdom of the ages: we are not meant to do this alone.

I can't do this!! Not matter what we try we seem to end up in a fight! I don't know if I can't take this any more! I hear these statements often. We all want relationship with a felt sense of closeness and emotional responsiveness. It seems coded into your very DNA. However, there are times in relationship where you feel isolated and abandoned leaving you feeling anxious or depressed. You may find yourself saying “Where did our love go,” or “I do not know how do we get stuck in the same argument, I don't feel heard or appreciated.” Or maybe you feel like you are failing. Either way you did not realize relationship would be so hard.

None of us are immune to life's challenges, but therapy can be a helpful tool in moving your life forward. Talking about your challenges, trauma and past experiences in a trusting environment, with a caring person, can provide healing and growth. It takes an immense amount of courage to look in the mirror and consider the areas of your life that are not going as you'd like. I'd like to meet you and use my personal, and professional experience to help you discover the beauty of who you are, and the endless potential that resides inside of you.

It is an accepted fact that 1 out of 6 men have suffered from some kind of unwanted sexual abuse.
I specialize in working with boys and men who are having a difficult time in school or home. Usually grades are affected and relationships at home are not what they could be. Sometimes other emotional issues are interfering. Often communication with loved ones is strained, There are solutions and it is possible to learn new ways to be that can make things easier. I also work with persons who have been abused and are dealing with the aftermath of their experience. I also work with teenage boys who have abused others as a result of their own experiences and who want to learn how to stop their own negative behaviors.

I help males from teenage to older learn how to express their feelings in non-destructive ways and learn how to better understand the feelings they have. They learn how to feel good about themselves rather than compare themselves negatively to others. Therapy is not about being sick. It is about learning new skills to better manage what life throws our way. My clients see me more as a trusted confidant who cares about them than as a clinician looking at them through a microscope.

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.
