Working in Behavioral Health for many years, I have learned that we all have something going on whether it be big or small and it's how we address the challenges that come are way that counts. I have dedicated my life serving others and truly enjoy seeing people evolve into their best possible self. In life we will always have difficulties and we can use them as opportunities for growth and personal development. Recognizing that we all need guidance is something that we all must understand and be willing to be able to knock the walls down that are keeping us from moving forward in life.

I will work with you in a collaborative effort to improve your emotional state.

Seeking therapy can be a daunting task, and as a counselor, I want to make this process as smooth and accessible as I can. I enjoy building rapport with my clients and watching them grow and flourish. The relationship between counselor and client often is a predictor for successful outcomes. Therefore, I work hard to offer a safe, non-judgmental environment to discuss life transitions and difficulties.

Maybe you’re saying, “I can’t do this anymore!” And you mean it. Can’t pretend life is okay. Can’t sleep at night. Can’t fight that awful feeling. Whatever you’re facing, I want you to have a plan for how you will get through this season and move forward. I provide a safe place for your story to be heard and understood, so you can gain perspective and learn from it. As with woodworking or planting a garden, the choice to engage in counseling stirs up dust and dirt. But it’s for the sake of creating a life that is meaningful and fruitful. Often, it’s not easy, but it is rewarding. And you don’t have to struggle alone.

"Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Michael Jordan We all face obstacles in our lives. It is not the obstacles we face that define us, but how we work through those obstacles. Having coached youth sports for over 15 years I have learned how to help athletes overcome the obstacles they face. I am now bringing those experiences to help men and boys work through their day to day life obstacles.

You've heard the saying "everything happens for a reason". I believe this can be true, but there are also many occurrences in our lives that don't always make sense, even if we can still derive some sort of meaning from them. On more of a personal level, I believe our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are happening for a reason and I seek to help you find those answers. Oftentimes, these reasons are connected to past experiences, whether that be from your childhood or other significant moments in time. And depending on how you experienced that event, your perceptions about yourself, others, and the world have been impacted.

I have seen the best results, working with clients that are feeling "stuck" in some facet of life (personal, relationships, career, purpose, etc). The individuals that are looking to find out WHO they really are and WHAT they really want, and use that curiosity to propel them towards personal growth, generally find our sessions to be eye opening!

In treating children, adolescents, families and adults for thirty years, my approach has evolved to become increasingly more relaxed, humorous, active, and-at its core-respectful. It is not based on giving advice or otherwise suggesting that I know what is best for you. On the contrary, my therapy (and personal) “voice” has grown to become increasingly grounded in humility and profound empathy, sitting comfortably not being certain, keeping my mind open, listening intensely, putting aside my personal opinions and reference points-all in order for me to genuinely see you and support growth and even transformation.

I have worked with adolescents and parents for the last 38 years. I am eclectic in my approach to counseling. I meet the clients where they are at and accept them for who they are and where they are in their lives. I join them in a magnificent journey of change. I have a gentle demeanor and genuine attitude about life which helps me connect with people and develop a remarkable bond that helps each client trust and move in a positive direction. I can take the worst scenario and find the positive outcomes that can come from each situation.

I love listening to stories and believe that having someone with an open ear and caring heart will help you heal, restore, and prepare for your best journey. I have discovered my best solutions in life have often come when I am outdoors and nature helps me feel free and open to new ideas. My practice is called Active Talks, where we believe that simply going for a walk, throwing a ball, heading for a hike, bowling or working out while talking with a therapist using their knowledge and life experience will help you find your best path.

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.
