We all possess the ability for healing, growth, and self-development. Sometimes our efforts toward improvement need helpful nudges. As a therapist, I hope to join you on your journey in the here and now, walking alongside you, the challenges you face, and the growth you hope to experience. Of course, self-healing can be done alone, yet sometimes a therapist can be a helpful addition.

You do not need to be alone in what you feel. As we go through life we experience joy, happiness, and share experiences with those we love. At the same time, we often go through hardships; we face the daily stresses of maintaining our commitments in work and relationships. Some of these hardships can be predicted, however, many cannot. Life can throw us off balance. Your experience is unique to you, I get that and will do my best to understand where you are coming from and aid you in reaching the place you want to be in.

Having unwanted thoughts and feelings can make us feel trapped in our own head and body. It can be hard to zoom out and see the bigger picture and center ourselves firmly on the ground. This can start an avoidance cycle where we don’t address these issues but instead tolerate them, often until we get exhausted. If you’re reading this, you might be thinking that it’s finally time you tackle these issues and you don’t want to do it alone.

I have worked in many aspects in the mental health field in treating a wide range of clinical issues.
There are times when balance feels lost. Challenges come from many angles and catch us off guard, even when we are prepared. We adjust as best as we can but, change can be difficult, whether its small change or traumatic things that happen in our lives. I work with clients to adjust to even the most difficult changes in a collaborative approach. Starting therapy should not have the stigma of weakness. I have many years of helping people with relationship issues and trauma and I provided a safe non judgmental environment to explore and be heard.

Are you a pastor or ministry leader who genuinely loves what you do, but find yourself thinking of quitting? A life devoted to ministry and caring for others can be extremely rewarding, but can often lead to burnout, anxiety, depression, or even addiction. Caring for others can also expose you to trauma, either by direct experience or by hearing stories you wish you could forget. My passion is integrating Christian faith and psychology to work with pastors, ministry leaders, and missionaries as they navigate these struggles and work to faithfully live out their calling in a complicated world.

The path back to groundedness and rejuvenation is a little different for each of us. We've been through a difficult past few years, and so many of us are burnt out or disillusioned by the state of the world and the challenges of finding genuine connection - especially for those of us who are marginalized for being our authentic selves. Having a space to process our feelings and offload stress can be a turning point for many of us toward meaningful change and deeper awareness of ourselves as we navigate life's challenges. Together, we can find your path and walk it together.

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.
