I focus on building trusted relationships with clients and establishing a space where they can be seen, heard and known. I leverage cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to repair faulty beliefs, attachment theory to resolve childhood wounds, Jungian psychology which emphasizes the unconscious, existential therapy to define purpose, a strengths-based approach that helps clients access inner resources to solve complex challenges and family systems models in couples therapy. I work with people of all faith/non-faith backgrounds but have a unique ability to integrate theology/spirituality with psychology to find hope and resolution.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 40 years of experience. I continue to practice, yet in a narrow scope of interest. I am offering psychotherapy only to returning patients, as well as those seeking services for social anxiety, and performance anxiety (with an emphasis and sports and athletic performance). Additionally, I offer executive and leadership coaching, which falls outside the purview of psychotherapy.

Betrayal in an intimate relationship is devastating. It carries additional considerations when it involves sexual addiction, or sexual betrayal, of any sort. Trust is immediately lost. Hope quickly diminishes. Trying to even think clearly about where to start may seem impossible. However, help is available. You are not alone and there is a way through it. I work with a team of therapists at Pathway Therapy Center where we specialize in helping clients get through the problems caused by betrayal trauma, especially involving sexual addiction, and work to find recovery and healing.

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.
