If you're considering working with a therapist, then chances are you're struggling with some aspect of your life. The challenges that motivate people to seek the support of a therapist generally fall into four categories: you're confronting something new, something unpredictable, something you can't control, or something that is threatening your sense of who you are. The mission of my practice is twofold: to provide you with a safe environment to navigate the difficulties that bring you to therapy and to help you learn more about yourself in the process.

Most therapists don't understand the male experience and the traumas or experiences we endure.
I help men that feel stuck in life get unstuck. Many of my clients want their relationship with their significant other or friends to be more real and enjoyable, but the problem is they can’t figure out how to unpack and communicate their emotions. They end up feeling alone in life and disconnected from themselves. To make matters worse, I believe that the typical therapy model has been failing men.

The world’s a dumpster fire. I know it, you know it; I’m not about to sugarcoat that. But we only get one shot here, and therapy’s a legitimate excuse to take a deep breath, put your fucking phone away, disconnect from everything, and talk about YOU. What do you want? What are you passionate about? And what’s getting in the way? Regardless, you wouldn’t be here without recognizing something in your life needs to change. Maybe you know exactly what that thing is, or maybe it’s illusive. But you’re here. That means you’re invested in YOU and the path you're on. I sincerely respect that.

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.
