Manage the difficult, painful, or uncomfortable areas of your life.
During a typical week, it can be difficult to know how we’re feeling and what's bothering us. Our attention has to be diverted to so many external things, that we barely have time to understand what’s going on internally. All we know is that we’re not feeling great and are mentally struggling in some way. Or we know exactly what’s bothering us, but have no idea where to go from there. Therapy is the 1 hour a week where we can focus on those mental/emotional aspects of life. Therapy is the place where we gain understanding of where we want to go in life, what may be getting in our way, and what we can do to help ourselves.

Welcome! Men, Couples, College, and Young Professionals are my specializations. I help with Anxiety, Relationships, Sexual Issues, Depression, Porn, Gaming/Social Media Addiction, Motivation/Focus, Anger, Gay/Bi concerns, and more. Symptoms and solutions may look different in guys, so I developed a special focus on men. Sex, relationships, porn, and career are concerns I frequently see in men. For couples I'm trained in Gott man Method, the most evidence-based couple approach. College students and young professionals have been a key focus since 8 years of practice in university contexts. I've been in the field for 18 years.

I help professional black wo men set healthy boundaries, undo toxic patterns and navigate relationships in a fulfilling way.
Everyone thinks you have it all together but in reality, you’re exhausted. The fear of judgment forces you to suppress your feelings. So you keep a smile on your face to continue showing up for others even when you don’t want to, because you don’t want to let them down. You’ve found yourself feeling tired, isolated and frustrated because no one understands and shows up for you when you need it most, but you still manage to push through each day. The time for a change has been long overdue, but figuring out where to start is a challenge all in itself.

Has your life lost its color? Do you find yourself experiencing less joy and interest in pretty much anything? Do you struggle to recognize yourself in the mirror? Simply put, things don't feel how they used to, and these feelings are starting to become concerning to you and those that love you. Although you have tried to cope and find solutions to these “new” feelings, they have not been successful and you are starting to lose hope. As everything else in your life seems to be slowly falling apart, you keep trying to "push through," but these feelings keep blocking your way to the life that you want.

You’re no stranger to achievement. You graduated near the top of your class, carved out a successful career for yourself, and continue to kill it in your professional life. Problem is, when you feel so anxious and unsure of yourself, it’s hard to enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to create. You struggle to build meaningful relationships because you can never relax enough to be the real you around others. Your work suffers because you’re constantly worrying that others are secretly judging you. And though you’ve practically perfected the art of hiding your distress from others, it leaves you feeling utterly exhausted and alone.

Anxiety takes various forms-tension, sleeplessness, or racing thoughts. If these signs disrupt your life and hinder your ability to enjoy daily activities, it’s crucial to recognize that you don’t have to face it alone. Anxiety is not always a bad thing. It is our bodies natural reaction to the environment around us. We do not face the same dangers that we did thousands of years ago, but we still have the same alert system. For some people, this reaction is far stronger than what the situation calls for. By acknowledging and addressing anxiety’s impact, you’re taking a proactive step towards self-discovery and empowerment.

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.
