I work specifically with issues related to anxiety, career burnout, relationship anxiety, anxious/avoidant attachment, life transitions, infertility, and women's/men's issues.
You’re an over thinker and a deep feeler. You have a habit of putting others first and it's starting to take a toll on your body - Racing thoughts, sleepless nights, dwelling on things from yesterday, that flutter in your belly...You know all the things that should make it better but you feel frozen and unable to take action. Maybe you've tried talk therapy before but you still don’t FEEL different. You’ve been feeling this yuck in your body for a while now and you’re finally ready to do something about it.

I practice soul work, helping restore and heal our connection to our deepest Self. I especially work with military and veterans, spiritual seekers, writers and artists in all genres, mid-life crises, men's issues, trauma and abuse survivors. I welcome clients seeking positive and comprehensive growth and change, a discovery or restoration of their gifts and creativity, and a deep healing relationship "out of the box." I do not practice conventional therapy for merely repairing our issues and adjusting to unhappy conditions. Rather, I nurture the unique soul and spirit in each person toward achieving meaning and creativity.

Do you feel lost? Do you sometimes stop, look around, and ask yourself, "How did I get here?" You are not alone. We were all born into a far from perfect world left to navigate our course with less than adequate directions. Perhaps you have faced particularly stormy weather in your journey, or perhaps you have just been overwhelmed by the sheer weight of life's complications. Forging ahead, you have experienced your share of successes and disappointments, but you have never felt that you were exactly on the right track.

Practice Full/Waitlist for October 2024: There are times in our lives when we just don't feel like ourselves anymore. We notice we're worrying more often, feeling more run down, or disconnected from the person we know we can be. Maybe these challenges crept up over time or perhaps they stemmed from a recent life event. I like to think of these challenges as our edges: places that might feel like a stopping point, but are really just a pause before we enter a new phase of growth. You are wise to reach out and know you can get better with the right support. I would be honored to help.

Men's Issues Therapists

Is therapy for men different than it is for women?

Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?

Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?

One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
