Over the years, I have found that people do better and feel better about the process of counseling when the duration of counseling is brief. In many cases brief periods of targeted counseling (often less than 10 sessions), is better. When there are intermittent returns to counseling, longer periods without counseling can provide greater benefit than continuous counseling.

Whether clients are looking for support and encouragement to maximize strengths or need assistance in dealing with a wide variety of psychological issues, effective therapy begins with the formation of a relationship. I place an emphasis on meeting patients where they are, which includes taking into account environmental factors, culture, ethnicity, and family/interpersonal history. Then, collaborating together to understand goals, assets, and challenges in order to create a plan to solve problems and increase understanding. By integrating various theoretical approaches and utilizing current research from psychology and neuroscience, my goal is to provide effective individualized treatment.

We all have our own stories to tell. Sometimes it can be hard to tell those stories. It's either too painful, we're worried what other may think, or we may think our stories are somehow wrong or not worth telling. Whether your story is filled with sadness, pain, fear, shame or loneliness you should be able to share your story and feel the validation of your uniqueness. You should also be able to see the joy hiding inside the struggle.

In my practice I primarily work from a person-centered approach. In working with a person however, I think it makes the most sense to work as a generalist. That is, to be able to draw on different approaches to fit the needs of a person coming to see me.

People, age is not a factor, often experience anxiety and stress. These cause feelings of being overwhelmed and pessimism. Pessimistic thinking impacts self-concept and confidence in who we are. Developing and maintaining relationships can be affected, and work perfor mance diminishes. Exploring the root of anxiety and stress helps in determining the behavior in the present and choosing to change the behavior in our best interest to have a better future.

Some common topics are perfor mance anxiety, low confidence, substance use, eating habits, body image, managing injury, or readjusting identity after retirement.

It can feel isolating as a performer in any capacity to experience symptoms and not know who to talk to in a safe and transparent way.

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.
