I am a creative and playful EMDR therapist who helps kids and adults with toxic stress, relationship issues, and anxiety. Young people find my approach helps them work through their anger and worry with play and creative activities. Adults seeking relief from their worst experiences, like domestic violence and childhood abuse, get gentle and steady guidance into healing. I help people who have emotional outbursts, panic, dissociation, shutting down, and younger-than-their-age behavior. Families who want to be free of trauma, conflict, and worry will find a fun, caring, and accepting approach from me.

Do you and your spouse or partner need to talk to someone? Often finding a person to talk to is the first step in making a positive change in your life. Emotions are complex and can overwhelm your ability to make sense of the many facets of what makes you unique and striving for connection. I work with individuals, couples and families who may be struggling with personal hardships or relationship connections in their lives. We all encounter difficulties that can become too challenging for us to manage on our own and I am motivated to help explore how and why these have affected 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.
