Are you noticing that life is hard to cope with because of the pressure being placed upon you by the state of the world, others, and yourself? Do you feel overwhelmed and uncertain on where and what to start working on first? Has this led you to feel depressed, or are you having anxiety related to this? Have you used substances to help remove these feelings temporarily, only to later feel them at a much higher level? If you can relate to any of these scenarios, let me assist. My training and experiences can help provide you with an environment that can help you navigate through these issues, and gain insight into what is happening.

Therapy can be an intimidating journey as we learn to identify and process feelings that are often difficult to confront or may have been suppressed for many years. A strong therapeutic relationship is often the first step in developing a safe, and nurturing environment. Each individual brings their own life experiences. Through these experiences, the individual is able to identify what it means to live a life of healing in defining the best version of themselves.

We all struggle at times with feelings of unresolved hurt, anxiety, depression, and anger. These feelings can rob us of the joy we might normally experience in our selves and our relationships. It is never easy to admit to having personal issues or to examine our past experiences. We all want to be heard and know that someone is listening to us. We want to have confidence in our relationships that they are healthy, loving and dependable. Sometimes these questions are more fundamental. What are we doing with our lives? We all want to be whole, confident in who we are and in our relationships. We want to be our best selves.

People select me as a therapist due to my non-judgmental demeanor and 30+ years of experience. I believe it is important to be professional yet not clinically stuffy, humble yet confident and knowledgeable yet still teachable. I love life and people. The mistakes I've made have been my greatest teachers. Nobody's perfect. We all have problems....but we all have room for growth & improvement. It's a crazy world. The goals of being able to keep our feet firmly planted on the ground, in order to fulfill one's responsibilities in life, yet keep one 's 'hand in the sky', in order to experience joy are pragmatic, realistic and attainable.

Life is a compilation of panoramic photographs; when our images are torn, we attempt to tape them back together. Sometimes, we fixate on the imperfections of the pictures. Well, let’s step back for a moment — have you ever retaken a photo and thought, “Wait, this photo looks better than the last one”? What if that was possible for our lives, too? The key is repositioning ourselves and examining our camera's point of view. I dare you to be the photographer of your life. I want to see your photo album. You do not need to edit your photographs to make yourself look more appealing; trust me, you are already enough.

A Greek philosopher told us the only thing constant is change; it seems life is full of changes and challenges. When we're confident and strong, we usually adapt fairly well to stresses and struggles. It's different, though, when unpleasant emotions or complex issues seem to drain practically all the energy we can muster just to get through the day. Feeling overly confused or frustrated, maybe even lost or helpless, might mean it's time to reach out for help to identify, work through, and manage whatever is getting in the way of our happiness and peace of mind. I might be just the person who can do that for you.

Many people experience anxiety, depression, and low-self-esteem. Often, they feel there is no one to trust and no one who can understand them. The impact of this emotional suffering can make daily life painful. It can put strain on relationships with family, friends, and peers. I specialize in working with individuals and have found that there are similar challenges that we all face while trying to navigate through our daily lives. Typically the client's that I work with have not been feeling like themselves for a while and this has led to struggles with their loved ones.

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.
