I want to know what brings a smile to your face as you realize that your life is waiting to be lived. Smiles might seem a remote option at this time, or even completely forgotten. You might be in pain and you hope for change. You might even think that there is something wrong with you. There is a part in you which knows the task at hand and exactly why it is here. It knows how to be alive and how to share that being with others. I am curious about that part. I work with adults, individuals and couples.

For the last 31 years, I have worked in social services, school, hospital and residential settings, directly helping with the struggles of children, adolescents, teens, young adults and families. I have seen what approaches are the most effective toward building trust and rapport quickly, so that we can get to work. Most folks already have a sense of why they are uncomfortable and just want mastery over their thoughts, feelings and actions. I help with identifying the core issues underlying self-defeating thoughts and behavior and teach new strategies to manage uncomfortable thoughts and memories.

We’re living in challenging times. If you feel overwhelmed with feelings of fear, loneliness, depression or anxiety, you’re not alone. Maybe the trauma of your past continues to resurface, making it hard to move forward in your relationships, your work, or toward your goals. People are not built to solve everything alone. Working with an experienced & compassionate therapist can help lighten your load. I believe that "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Together, we can use evidence based practices to help you find resilience & new perspectives- even when living in dire circumstances.

Psychotherapy that aims to change our life is no ‘quick fix’. It is successful when the relationship between a seasoned psychotherapist and a dedicated client works. If you are struggling with an issue or situation in your life, I can help support you as you sort things out. I do this by providing a safe environment where you can clarify your feelings and thoughts. We then work together to determine the changes you can make to improve your life.

As a psychologist, I help individuals manage a range of psychological and psychosocial issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, life changes, health-related issues, relationship issues, and substance use disorders.
When we encounter life stressors, whether anticipated or not, we experience a range of reactions. Many of which, we are not told how to deal with, yet are expected to manage. Mental health issues might complicate our ability to manage stressors, thereby worsening symptoms and making it even more difficult to handle both life and one's mental well-being. We sometimes feel as though those around us, despite their well intentions and support, do not quite understand what we are going through. We may feel unable to find our way, feel how we felt, or pursue what we hoped our life to be.

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.
