I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples. Couple's work is helpful for restoring intimacy, closeness, and communication. Couples work can also be useful for one's individual psychotherapy as partners often help to bring attention to areas of life which have been neglected. Long-term relationships have ups and downs, multiple stressors, as well as developmental phases, which can rupture relationships. Couples therapy is very dynamic. A well-trained couples' therapist can bring a marriage back from the brink of disaster allowing an entire family to avoid the trauma and financial devastation of divorce.

I work with individuals who want to better understand themselves and create meaningful change in their lives.

Are you a non-birthing parent and looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to talk to someone about mental health? Please reach out for consultation to see if I would be a good fit for you!

Over the past 14 years working in schools with teachers, students, parents, and families, I’ve become familiar with the many stressors and adjustments that occur for kids, adolescents, and parents during the journey of growing up. Its my belief that adults, all of us, also benefit from counseling and intentional work to take care of ourselves. To that end, I create a space free from judgement where you can be yourself and together we can work toward reaching your goals.

There is no health without mental health. I really like this slogan which was recently used to promote National Mental Health Awareness Month. It reminds us that maintaining mental health is not optional, but essential to our capacity to live fully and joyfully. I would also note that psychotherapy is not only helpful for when we are struggling, but it also can help us when things are going well! Therapy can provide a safe and consistent space for us to continue to grow in self-awareness, empathy and wisdom. I have served as a Master's level licensed psychologist since 2005.

Watching your child struggle can be one of the most difficult parts of being a parent. Whether a child is feeling sad or angry, acting out, has difficulty making friends, worries too often, or is struggling with school, a parent just wants to help in any way they can.
My career is committed to working with children, adolescents and families to create more harmonious and satisfying lives.

I believe that therapy can be for everyone. Personal growth is a life long journey and therapy can help people realistically asses themselves and the manner in which they perceive, interact, and act within their world. I am here to help people achieve a change that promotes balance, growth, understanding and to become a “Master of their actions, not a prisoner of their reactions”.
I also believe humor can be used as an integral tool in the therapy experience. It often illuminates the many strange and challenging predicaments that we all face at times.

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.
