Recognizing how difficult this can be, I pride myself in offering a hu manistic experience, where there is no shame in being your authentic self.
When it comes to everyday life, we all can agree that it can be a never ending climb to our desirable selves. It is within these times when life becomes uncertain; thus influencing our decisions in a negative way. As a mental health therapist, I get the privilege to extend a helping hand to those who are tired of being tired. Individuals who want a change, but are unsure how or where to start. With this in mind, I desire to connect with these individuals, in order to take back control of their lives - one day at a time.

I have been working as a therapist with children, teens, families, couples, and adults for more than 20 years. Emotional growth, recovery, self-awareness and a healthier, more balanced life are the long-term outcomes of the investment in psychotherapy, whether it is for you, your children, or your relationship. I am very committed to the power of insight, the concept of emotional intelligence, and the healing power of relationships.

I work with clients from many different walks of life facing many different issues.
If all you know is that you just don’t want to be where you are now, then maybe we can take the time to find where you’d like to be and how you personally can best get there in time. Change is slow and can be emotionally difficult, but there’s rarely only one precise path to any goal. By talking and taking things one day at a time, I’m sure you’ll eventually look back and see how far you’ve come through the eyes of who you’ve then become. While no counselor is perfect for everyone, I’d love to help in your journey if I’m able. I work with clients from many different walks of life facing many different issues.

When life becomes overwhelming, therapy can be an opportunity to identify barriers to happiness, to manage the difficulties you're experiencing, and to feel better.

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.
