Life is full of challenges and many people do not believe they need psychotherapy.
My first consultation (30 minutes) is free so together we may decide what would be most helpful for you, to assess your needs, and determine what is best. For many lifestyle coaching or consulting is often best for those who want to improve life or problem solve as opposed to treatment for a diagnosable condition; while others may benefit more from counseling for concerns with anxiety, grief, or depression. Having spent many years in teaching and practice in metro Lou, I may also recommend colleagues who may be more helpful.

There is no such thing as an ideal client. That is too boring. The way I do therapy is relaxed. I am not your average therapist, and I am not going to be like, "How does that make you feel?" but I am going to say, "What up! How are we doing today?" I never stop learning, and when you have me as a therapist, you will see that you will fall back in love with learning. Overall, I am just honored you allowed me to help you! Also, the best way to reach me is to Email over calling due to normally being in session, and I want to respond to you as quickly as possible!

Life is complex and relationships are important. I believe the therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is essential for helping a client reach his or her goals. This relationship based on trust, respect, and careful listening is the foundation for exploring clients' concerns, learning new skills, and gaining new perspectives. I enjoy being part of this client-centered process. I use a blend of cognitive-behavioral and insight-oriented strategies to help clients reach goals they set for themselves. I use evidence-based practices when appropriate. Above all, I strive to help clients feel understood and heard.

Are you battling unwanted sexual behavior? Are you tired of carrying around this dark secret? Often we don’t talk about these things or seek help because of the embarrassment or shame that typically surrounds them. We think things like, “if they knew this, they would leave me” or “Keeping this secret keeps the peace,” but you just don’t know how long you can keep up the lie. The truth is that trying to get passed something like a porn addiction on your own doesn’t work and hasn’t worked.

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.
