You’re not quite sure if counseling or therapy is for you, but you do know something is not quite “right.” You've probably felt this way for a long time. You feel frustrated because whatever this is--call it depression, anxiety, irritability--just isn’t going away. Now you’re feeling defeated because no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to fix it. Good news! I don't think you're crazy. I know it feels risky, but I'm ready to take this Venture with you.

Veterans and First Responders: I have been where you are or have been. I have personally experienced the extreme hardships of being a military pilot in combat. I served in combat in Vietnam and Bosnia. My military career as a pilot lasted more than 21 years. I have suffered the trauma, mental anguish, and heartbreak of losing friends and loved ones by my extreme and undisciplined behavior and unknown gut-clenching anger. My journey has given me a unique and empathetic perspective and effective tools to support and diminish the invisible wounds and scars of military service and combat.

You are not alone. One of the most common experiences we share as humans are having ups and downs occur throughout our lives. Then messages that we tell ourselves start to pile on... "I'm not good enough", "I can't..", "what if..", and the "should, should, should" become our constant burden. This can become a downward spiral of events, thoughts, emotions and behavior. My focus is to connect with you to sort this out and develop messages that help you overcome suffering. My practice focuses on ages 14 - 65 on issues including: Addiction, Anger, Depression, Anxiety, Domestic Violence, Overcoming Shame and Life Transitions.

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.
