Sorting through our own thoughts and feelings can be a struggle at times. We get bogged down with work, personal life, commitments and events, and we realize that our little ones are struggling too. It's hard enough to work through our own selves, and often even more so when trying to help our little ones work through theirs, with their limited vocab and life experience to categorize and verbalize their thoughts and feelings.

The foundation of my practice is built around helping people reconnect with their inherent goodness. I believe that every person in this world is inherently good, and has what to offer to others. Throughout our childhood and teenage years, we face challenges that either propel us to success or set us back and put us in a state of fear. When we "do the work" together, we try to identify what the setbacks are, then we work on unleashing your potential to reveal your goodness and your gift for the world around you.

"No mud. No lotus" - Thich Nhat Hanh. It is my belief that therapy is a transformative journey of self discovery, personal awakening, empowerment, and healing. As a therapist, I seek to guide clients towards personal fulfillment and self discovery. Often times we face struggles and hardship without any guidance or support. People also may never learn how to recover from the blows that life will inevitably deal to us all. However, It is my goal to help clients find meaning in their struggle and a sense of personal victory in their efforts to overcome them.

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.
