I specialize in trauma (PTSD), men's issues and depression/anxiety.
Have you been in therapy for years and feel like you are not making progress? Have you been trying to change some maladaptive behaviors like; lashing out at others, giving in/pacifying, avoiding people/situations, or just breaking out of a depressive funk? You are not broken. The discourse may be wrong. We are all shaped by our individual experiences. They represent themselves in the form of memories and they not only define us but often make it hard to change without addressing them directly. If you are ready for change and feel you need to change the discourse, I encourage you to reach out.

My clinical specialties include men's issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, EMDR, attachment issues, and life transitions.
As a psychotherapist I specialize in working with men, athletes, and adolescents as well as people suffering from anxiety, trauma, and depression . I believe that for change to occur, there must be a strong foundation of trust, safety, and openness to experience in the therapeutic relationship. I aim to cultivate healing relationships with my clients in which they can grow from these pillars to experiment with new ways of being. I view change as arising from increased awareness of our physical and emotional experience and I strive to help others develop these areas through the cultivation of mindfulness, authenticity, and openness.

As men, many of us were taught to suppress or ignore our emotional experience. But there are times in life, when these strategies and defenses no longer work.

Are you a man or parent of a teen who is grappling with depression, anxiety, or finding it hard to maintain relationships and manage big emotions? It’s hard to ask for help when you are in pain. It can be especially hard for men who have been taught that suffering in silence is strength. If held tightly, these myths of manhood may leave us feeling isolated, ashamed, and hopeless. No matter how hard we try to hide our difficulties from others, they tend to show up regardless - at work, at home, and in our relationships. Without guidance, we can check out, numb out, and get stuck in a cycle of fear, anger, and helplessness.

They often feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about their direction and need a safe, supportive space to explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges. While client goals vary, they typically include gaining greater clarity, building resilience, and cultivating a stronger sense of self. In doing so, they come to understand themselves better, overcome obstacles, and live a more authentic, value-driven life.

Men's Issues Therapists

Is therapy for men different than it is for women?

Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?

Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?

One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
