I enjoy working with clients of all walks of life. Clients present with a variety of different issues, but all humans want to live full and happy lives, with dignity, respect, and on their terms. Helping clients develop greater insight about themselves and the world in which they live is central to their overall well-being and success. Empowering individuals to recognize and live up to their full potential is incredibly fulfilling and inspiring. Assisting people in their pursuit to heal and thrive has been my greatest privilege.

I have an extensive history with youth programing and clinical practice with youth. I've spent the last few years working with adults, families, and children who have severe emotional disturbances. I currently work with youth who are adjudicated as well as youth who just might be going through your typical transitions. I have years of crisis experience with adults and youth. One couldn't work with young people without working alongside their parents or guardians also. Therefore, my ideal client is any adult, youth, or teen who is transitioning through life or any person who may be trying to figure some things out along their path.

I work with clients experiencing a wide range of challenges. Some clients come to me because they have a painful past filled with grief, guilt, or trauma. Some of my clients have challenging current circumstances, like troubled relationships, unfulfilling careers, and addiction to substances and behaviors. Some of my clients come to me because they are bogged down by sticky emotions like depression, anxiety, and anger. Some days I am helping clients speak or compete in front of thousands of people, other days I am helping clients get out of bed to start the day.

In this world you will have trouble. There is great truth to this verse. Life can be difficult and be filled with challenges. This trouble can show up externally such as a death of a loved one or it can show up more internally such as experiencing significant anxiety or depression. Unfortunately, these troubles are an inevitable part of life. But, Christ also shares: "Take heart! For I have overcome the world!." So how do we face and overcome this trouble? I believe that answer lies in exploring and maturing our relationship with God in tandem with discovering the values and plans He has written uniquely upon each of our hearts.

Navigating the stressors of life can easily become very challenging and overwhelming. Working as a therapist for almost eight years has helped me recognize how real this is for many people. Which is what makes me want to offer my services to you in order to help with whatever it is you may be enduring. I mostly work with adults, individually, on issues such as depression and anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, defining and strengthening boundaries, finding a healthy balance in life, identifying codependency and co-occurring disorders. I also have experience working with couples.

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.
