My practice incorporates both philosophy and science in accordance with existential-humanistic theory. Understanding the nature of one's own suffering through self-reflection and compassionate guidance is instrumental in healing. The blending of philosophy and science enhances the individual's ability to internalize self-compassion, acceptance, and a greater ability to change what does not fit.

My ideal client is any individual or couple that is ready to actively do the work to adjust and rearrange their personal habits in order to more productively move forward in their lives. No matter the issue, counseling is built on the idea that the client is in charge of the progress by dictating the amount of energy and effort they put into the process. Showing someone possible paths is useless if they choose to not walk down it.

Making changes in our lives can be difficult. Addressing things that make us uncomfortable can be hard to share or talk about. Sometimes the hardest thing in life is making that first step. That first step might seem scary or that it might not make a difference but you’ll never know if you don’t try. I work with individuals from all walks of life dealing with depression, anxiety, life changes and adjustments, family and relationship issues, existential and identity crises, anger and emotional issues and and various other areas of mental health

As a sex therapist, I am trained to address sexual health issues and concerns. Often, we hold stigma around the topic of sex, but many mental health concerns can lead to sexual concerns, just as sexual health concerns can lead to mental health concerns. I offer a sex-positive approach and work with a variety of concerns and sexual minority populations. Whether your concern is a sexual dysfunction, needing gender-affirming care, dealing with relationship issues (including polyamory), exploring more about yourself sexually, discovering new kinks, or just needing someone to talk to, I am here to provide a safe and healing environment.

I've been doing this work for 46 years now, and still love it. And, I'm used to being successful at what I do. The challenge for me is people's "inside" language - what takes place beneath awareness. This is akin to the language of poetry and myth. I then translate between the worlds of "problem reality" and the deeper emergent Self - which is why I find this work rewarding. In working with couples I seek to translate the language (hopes and dreams) of each to that richer place between and behind - where hope becomes real. Go see my website.

I provide a sacred space for clients who are searching for their authentic selves in the midst of daily distractions, pressures from family members, work issues, health concerns, etc. Psychotherapy is a form of spirituality in which a client discovers their pathway to spiritual growth. In this therapeutic process one can be healed of the debilitating symptoms that indicate one is out of balance. I help clients find their unique selves and center and explore the beliefs and values that ground them as a person. I provide them with direction and support to maintain continued growth.

I know how hard it can be. As a parent myself, and a human being who has also experienced challenges, I'm not here to judge you or tell you what to do. I am here to provide guidance, support, and practical tools that can help.

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.
