Parenting is the hardest job. You've dong everything you can think of to support your kids. And still they struggle. You’re doing whatever you can think of. You’ve sat with teachers, talked with doctors, argued long into the night. Nothing has helped. You’re to the point where you just want to quit. And you feel terrible about it. I get it. I've been there. Your temper is short, you feel grouchy all the time, and time spent at the office feels like a vacation. This was not in the job description.

In therapy, my goal is to help you tap into the resources that already exist within you. I believe you possess wisdom, resilience, sound judgment, compassion for yourself and others, and other strengths that can be refined or rediscovered through the process of therapy. I also believe that authentic human connection is the primary conduit of healing in therapy, so I strive to make our work relational - not just symptom focused. While I feel equipped to meet the needs of most people who seek my help, I find that I’m most energized when I’m working with someone who is open-minded, motivated, and invested in the therapy process.

Our existence in this world comes with hopes, aspirations and dreams. It also comes with disappointments, challenges and hardships which can overshadow our light and purpose. These obstacles on our path to our most authentic self may have been passed down to us from our family or an injustice burdened onto us as along the way. Somewhere, amongst all of these parts of ourselves, there is hope and a belief that we can be at peace with our past and artfully manage our present so that we can fully embrace the future we deserve.

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.
