In 1999 I created the following mission statement: "To create a safe space where individuals can explore the issues that are standing in the way of living more fulfilling and authentic lives." As a result, I have explored, studied and practiced a wide variety of techniques to address the mental/emotional aspects of our lives, as well as the physical and spiritual issues that can block potential, and the ability to relate effectively with others. It is always an honor to help clients transition through difficulty and to witness them living more fulfilling lives.

In choosing a therapist, ask someone trusted, but remember they have their own biases. Consider someone State Licensed and check their complaint or malpractice history. Inquire about negotiating a "self pay fee", your therapist will work for you, not your insurance company. Look for someone with more life experience than you. Look for someone who is a parent, is married or has experienced divorce, has lived with grief or watched their own parents age. Request an initial consultation session and ask about professional experience and certifications. Remember, the therapist relationship fit is most important to counseling success. lastly, listen to your conscience,

I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life. Over the past 20 plus years I have seen thousands of clients with a variety of issues. I still am amazed by the resiliency of the human spirit and our ability to make shifts that create major results in our lives. Often people come overwhelmed thinking they need to make major changes, yet I have found that it is usually minor adjustments in our work together that lead to major changes in our daily life.

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.
