I understand recovery in these areas and how it is easy to say "I'll deal with these later" only to find out when you do deal with them they were not as overwhelming as you thought! Fear is a major factor in getting help and shared by many others who have found solutions to their life by facing this fear of HOW DO I CHANGE and IS IT POSSIBLE? Of course it is- we all know someone who have changed their lives for the better.

I tend to view therapy through a trauma-informed lens, which acknowledges that many of us may have been forced to adapt or change out of necessity in response to unfavorable circumstances or distressing experiences.
Life can be hard and we're all trying to navigate its challenges as best we can. This can often come at the cost of losing connection with who we truly are. In my practice, I always make the effort to meet you where you're at in your life in a non-judgmental and compassionate manner as I assume that many of the things you want to change may have served a really important purpose at some point in your history. From here, we will work together to rediscover your true self so that you can construct a more satisfying life that is authentically aligned with your values, needs, and desires.

Despite our inherent need to search for meaning in life, none of us were given an instructional handbook on how to achieve happiness and well-being at birth. Even under the best of circumstances it is difficult to cultivate inner peace while navigating the difficulties of social expectations, residual childhood experiences, emotional regulation and forming social connections. When trauma is added to the equation, life becomes a constant act of coping instead of growing. If you feel like your journey has become wrought with indecision, impulsivity, or emptiness; it might be time to invite someone to walk alongside you.

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.
