I love helping adolescents and their families! Sounds strange I know, but it's true. I provide a listening ear and create a non-judgmental space for youth ages 11-24 to talk about life, love, friendship, and the challenges associated with transitioning into adulthood. I also work with struggling adults, couples and stressed families, and help individuals deal with things like depression and anxiety. Life puts lots of pressure on individuals, marriages, parents, and families, and I'd love to help you find ways to cope with the pressure and go from surviving to thriving!

Therapy should help you get better. My goal is to help clients move through difficult situations and make changes in their lives that contribute positively to their health. While I am a certified complex trauma therapist and specialize in treating combat related PTSD, I have also helped clients struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and infidelity. As a coach, I help clients to achieve personal goals such as losing weight or managing anger. Some people are wary of seeing a therapist, but my straight forward approach and focus on finding solutions has been an attractive option for even the most hesitant clients.

Reaching out for help can be difficult and frightening. You deserve commitment to maintaining a non-judgmental and collaborative therapy environment when the time comes. Our tendency as humans is to avoid any contact with painful emotions and disturbing memories. Unfortunately, during traumatic experiences our minds focus on the worst part; so this remains our experience. Much like our bodies, our minds have the potential to heal if given the opportunity and will move to a more adaptive experience. I look forward to sharing in you journey.

Life is interesting, isn't it. There is so much that is wonderful and beautiful and fun. And, of course, it can be difficult, as well. Our stresses can make life hard and sometimes lead to anxiety. Sometimes we become overwhelmed. Our sadnesses, loses and hurts can become depressing. I think it is good to remember that whatever 'normal' means, difficulties are a part of the landscape of living. In fact, research suggests that at one time or another 85% of us find that it is all a little much. I think it is also good to remember that we are largely self- healing.

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.
