It’s not easy being a kid. You’re learning and growing—and the world isn’t always patient if you need to do so a little differently, or when “big feelings” get in the way. Not that being a teen or adult is easier. You might struggle under the weight of seemingly impossible expectations and stresses. Or you find yourself experiencing hurt in your relationships. Maybe you wish your child could handle their emotions better and really start to blossom. Or maybe, as a teen or adult, you want to find peace with yourself and healthy connection with others.

I believe we are all recovering from something. As a clinician, I believe that a healthy nonjudgmental relationship is foundational to each of our healing journeys. Having someone who we can be honest with, who is honest with us, allows us to be honest with ourselves and reach our ultimate potential. While the therapeutic relationship is our foundation, I incorporate elements of motivational interviewing, solution focused, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies in order to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.

Are you feeling like you are always trying to fit into someone's else box, the version of your life that others have for you, hoping that by doing so you will finally gain acceptance and validation? You have recognized that this is a no-win situation which only produces vacillating feelings of anxiety and depression which rob you of the life you know could be yours. You are ready for change but don't know where to start. Your biggest fear that that this would be another in a series of "starts". However, your desire to live your best life is pushing you to take a chance on change, but who will walk with you?

We are told by academia and media that men are inevitably and essentially toxic - that their instincts lead to difficulties and conflict.
On a long enough timeline, anyone can sort themselves out. Time is precious, however, so make the most of yours by reaching your goals more effectively with a therapist. People consulting with me are seeking deeper satisfaction at work and in their relationships, and through our conversations, they can better find their place in their career, speak up more effectively, and connect more deeply with those they love. I have a focus on men's issues, which can be helpful not only for the men with whom I work, but also for wo men who want a better understanding of themselves and the men in their lives.

Navigating the complexities of adult life can be overwhelming. It often requires a shift of perspective to understand challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief/loss, phase of life issues, parenting concerns, work stress, and relationship issues. As your therapist, I will provide a psychologically safe space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and develop new insights. Exploring your beliefs, family dynamics, cultural/societal messages are key to understanding how you perceive, and interact with the world around you.

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.
