My ideal client is any individual, from teen to older adult, who is experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, spiritual or religious issues, feeling stuck in their life, having difficulty adjusting to life circumstances, and/or feeling unseen and unheard. He/she/they seeks to be heard with true acceptance, curiosity, and respect. He/she/they then seeks to work towards his/her/their goals in a collaborative relationship that draws upon my clinical expertise, but keeps him/her/they in the driver's seat.

Have you wondered where your life is going and found that personal difficulties have gotten in your way? My clients come to see me with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship, children and many other issues. I see symptoms as an opportunity for growth. Therapy, like life, is a journey with definite stages. Initially, I work with the individual in talking about their life and issues of concern. The next stage involves processing and healing the stuck places. As this occurs, I see people then ready to find their resources, living into their goals, their essence, their being.

Therapy is a unique experience in a process more akin to improvisational jazz with its rhythms and key changes. Jazz, like counseling is a conversation between the left and the right, between the head and the heart. Whether one has experienced the loss of a loved one, the loss of a marriage or others pains, counseling offers the promise of finding meaning and hope in one's life. Counseling is about untangling your past, empowering your present and redefining your future. Opportunities to live a deeper life exists, how far one proceeds is limited only by one's vision.

In the past few years through my clinical journey, I have helped many individuals find healing and understanding.
We all have a purpose in life; for some, it is clear from an early age, and for others, it may take some time. You may be at the crossroads of trying to figure out your meaning in life or understanding your purpose. It can be difficult and scary to move forward when the path is unclear. Especially, when we have the feeling that we do not have the full picture. I am already proud of you for seeking and asking for help. As the doubt and the “what-ifs” become louder; you may be hesitant in taking the next step. It all starts with understanding yourself

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.
