My three favorite excuses people use for not going to see a counselor (and my responses): 1. I don’t have time. Nonsense. You have 24 hours in a day and 168 hours in a week. Taking an hour for your own self-care should be a priority and not a task. (2.) Counseling is for crazy people. Also, nonsense. Terms like “crazy” or “mental” are outdated stereotypes. Just because you are struggling with something in life does not mean that you are broken or defective—it just means you might need a little help dealing with it. Which leads me to my personal favorite…

I love the counseling that I do. For the last fifteen years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and resiliency of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families. I am convinced that much of our life is determined by the lens that we choose to look through. I also believe counselors are most successful when they also have a healthy lifestyle and live the principles that they teach to their clients. I believe that when you meet me that you will find me to be grounded, healthy, and authentic.

As a human being, you constantly encounter challenges, disappointments, struggles, and events which shape you into who you are, for better or worse. It can be difficult to understand why these things occur, and how to deal with them in a healthy, productive manner. Whether it be simple or complex challenges, goals can be set, problems addressed, and changes made to enhance your ability to navigate life effectively. Having someone to talk to, introduce you to new skills, and to process traumas can bring peace, hope, purpose, and joy to your life.

I utilize a straight-forward and honest approach to therapy and I am direct in identifying real-life solutions to the presenting issues. I am an experienced counselor and I am often able to connect with and form positive relationships with those who are resistant to counseling or skeptical of the counseling process. I have found humor to be quite productive in treatment and will implement it often. I have experience in treating issues such as (but not limited to): depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, anger issues, parenting concerns, and marriage/couples issues.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I am committed to empowering others to achieve freedom from fear, find hope, and embrace greater quality of life through evidence-based treatments (EBTs). Patients can expect 3 phases of treatment: 1) gain a full understanding of presenting concerns; 2) apply gold standard/EBTs in several environments; 3) patient stand as expert, generalizing their knowledge, while I sit as a consultant. I offer accurate diagnosing and treatment precision techniques with advanced modalities (e.g., bio/neurofeedback, virtual reality, etc.) and each client can expect a warm welcome from their first contact to the last.

I believe a strength of mine is connecting with clients (both adolescents and adults) that may not be sold on the counseling process. I believe in creating an environment that fosters genuine care and compassion, in turn creating a relationship of trust with my clients. It is there where healing and growth can begin. No life circumstance is too big to address. You are stronger than you think you are. Often times we are never challenged in a way that gives us a true understanding of self or given the opportunity to truly live a life that is not shackled by fear and anxiety and are left with a life lacking purpose and meaning.

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.
