I have a passion for helping people who are in need. I want to help them develop the skills necessary to do whatever it is they want to do. In my field, that's often a goal of sobriety and recovery. It's not for me to decide what is best for my clients. I try to help them determine if their current actions help or hinder their own goals in life. I offer a place where my clients can be themselves without receiving any judgement from me. I help clients in their areas of need, and in the areas in which they want help. I believe an honest, caring therapeutic relationship is important to provide the help my clients need.

Especially in difficult times, it can be hard to find sources of acceptance, affirmation, and healing. Often the people closest to us - family, classmates, and co-workers, don't accept us for who we are. Perhaps we are gifted and see the world differently, in a new relationship and scared of old mistakes, navigating parenting or co-parenting, or are trying to better understand ourselves and our past. Whatever the reason, we also desire to be happy, whole, and loved - and especially to become something more than what we are. Trauma can hold us back no matter our age - creating negative habits and barriers to our success.

I feel every individual is unique; therefore every therapeutic relationship is unique. For therapy to be successful it is essential that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and understood. I respect the difficulty of undertaking the therapeutic journey, and therefore consider myself challenging yet empathetic. I consider myself and active therapist, yet the session is not about me...this is your time. I work with adolescents and adults on an individual basis. I also work with couples, families and groups.

I work with adults, adolescents, and children looking for assistance with a variety of areas such as anxiety, disruptive behavior, adjustment or self-regulation issues, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. People often want to find strategies to help improve their lives and families search for strategies to help their child be more successful at home, child care, school, or in the community. I offer a straight forward, judgement free setting in a comfortable environment. I also work with athletes and performers working to overcome performance anxiety or recover from injury and take their skills to the next level.

The approach that I have to psychotherapy is to address the individuals needs, based on how they are viewing their world. The concerns of the individual becomes the focus of how they are utilizing their strengths and to provide supportive techniques for there success. Defining the goals and the pathways to reaching their goals is vital in the success of the therapeutic relationship. If we could look at this relationship as a partnership, then we can work together towards overall improvement of functioning.

Many of us were raised to believe that being honest about what we need or how we feel is "selfish." Worse, some were taught that to talk about these things is a sign of weakness or an invitation to be criticized, punished, or rejected. Wrong. Whether you're struggling with relationships, feeling unsatisfied in your work life, worried that you don't belong, or stuck in your own head, seeking therapy is a courageous act of self-care. Adversity, loss, and suffering can be deeply discouraging at times, but Mr. Rogers put it best: "anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable."

I strongly believe that therapy should not be limited to addressing immediate issues, but should also focus on long-term growth and fulfillment. In my practice, I encourage my clients to explore their goals and aspirations and work towards leading more fulfilling lives. By identifying their values and strengths, they can make meaningful changes and create a life that aligns with their true selves. If you or someone you know needs support, I am here to help. Whether you are struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other mental health concern, I want to support you on your path to a more fulfilling life.

I believe, often life can feel “out of balance” and we are unsure of what to do. Sometimes we feel stuck, unable to reach a goal—or sometimes we struggle to even know what our goals are. This is where counseling can be helpful. I work with my clients to understand where they are at, and how they experience life. Together, we work to build a path toward change.

Because every kind of emotional suffering deserves relief... 1) I treat trauma survivors with PTSD and depression; 2) I help couples or individuals who are struggling in partner relationships; and 3) I advise adults who are frustrated in their parenting adventures. Also, if you are surviving dissociative symptoms, are recovering from secret habits, are suffering with anxiety or bipolar disorder, hear voices, have a history of several psychiatric diagnoses, or haven't responded well to psychotropic medications, come talk to me. (**If you prefer a female clinician, I can connect you with a trusted, experienced female therapist.**)

We are made for relationships. When we don't have good relationships, the rest of life becomes overwhelming. Therapy is about learning how to relate to people in a healthy way, with good boundaries, emotional intelligence, and (appropriate) love. By looking at the past and how it shapes the present, we can be more free to choose a different future. Healing comes for those who don't want to repeat the past anymore but have freedom moving forward with those that they love. We will work on this goal 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.
