What happened to the person I married? Well, it’s still them- just the stressed, frustrated version whose worst traits are rising to the surface. Spending so much energy on work, parenting, and have-to's leaves little room for the love and connection that you once shared. In its place are anger, criticism, and controlling behaviors. The distance and disconnection are worrisome, but confronting them just seems to lead to an argument and more problems. You're left feeling confused, depressed, and alone. All you really know for sure is that something has to change- and soon.

Living life on life’s terms is challenging. My purpose is to guide, as you change old patterns of limiting thoughts and behaviors, and increase your capacity to live more fully. Your decision to pursue change is a strength. You will develop your internal resources, gain insight, and learn new ways to respond that allow for change and growth. When you become aware of your immediate experience and create space to observe it clearly, you can choose how you respond. In that moment, you can ask yourself: ‘how do I want to act?’ and ‘how do I want to live?’ The shift from reacting to responding is empowering and transformative.

One of the bravest things you can do is live life on your own terms. It can be challenging to make that first phone call, but I hope you can take a moment into the first step to experience yourself in new ways. I am here to support you through that process. Society fills our head with ideas on how you are “supposed” to be/act/feel/show up. I believe that each person has a unique story and journey they are on but the one thing that stays consistent is that we are most happy when we are in tune with our own inner world living from the core of who we are.

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.
