The fact that you are reading these words tells us you have been attempting to overcome some type of life adversity. We often do not seek this type of help, mostly because of the many negative judgments that have influenced us since our childhood. It is these vary experiences, along with our own perception of them, that has caused and exacerbated the very symptoms we seek help for. It has been my experience that this history needs to be revisited, reviewed, and re-addressed so that we can overcome many of the chronic conditions that affect far too many in this world. “There is no birth of consciousness without pain”, Carl Jung

In therapy we work together to bring meaning and healing to your experience. Through the therapy process you may experience increased self-esteem and increased clarity about who you are and what's important to you. If you've experienced abuse or trauma, I'll work to help you regain a sense of physical and emotional safety, and help you create a healthy connection to yourself and others.

Guess what? There is nothing wrong with you! Many people come to therapy because they don’t like aspects of themselves. And that makes sense! It’s very normal that when we are hurting, we can feel like we are the problem. The thing is, most of our “problems” (i.e. the disconnection from our emotions and our bodies, the depression/anxiety, the addictions and compulsions, the relationship struggles) all originate as adaptations to difficult life experiences, to relational wounding and betrayals. They are not wrong; they came about as sources of protection.

The nature of life is to grow. And yet, time and time again we feel that growth stagnate, and stop. Why does this happen? Trauma from the past. Dissociating in the present, often expressed through addictions to substances or experiences. Avoidance of the future. All the things that cause stress and anxiety and despair put a halt to our expansion and growth. Identifying those root causes, finding out what they need, and putting a plan in place to resolve and placate them, are all part of the work. Let's cut the binds that hinder.

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.
