Coping with difficulties like anxiety, depression, and sleep issues can be overwhelming. In alignment with your values and goals, we will work together to develop a shared understanding of your difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that research has shown to be an effective treatment for various difficulties, such as anxiety and depression. It helps people identify and change the thoughts and behaviors contributing to their problems. CBT is my preferred approach to therapy, but other evidence-based approaches may be used depending on the client's needs.

Life is full of challenges. We ALL face challenges throughout the course of life with varying levels of success. We often win but there are times we are unsure of what to do or how to feel about what we've experienced. Then there are times we experience defeat and don't know how to recover. We're functioning but we are not at our best.

You’re a guy. You’ve known you needed help but you’ve been handling it. But something has changed and it's too much. Your wife/girlfriend and family are upset with you. You get things done at work but you’re overwhelmed with life. You worry all the time and are overcome with sadness. The fear of losing everything and being alone is too much for you. Your anger about situations comes out without your permission. Your wife says you are a good husband but the voice in your head says otherwise. It’s time to do something about it.

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.
