I became interested in psychotherapy in my young adult years, as I searched for meaning in life. With a primary interest in medicine, I knew that my ultimate goal was to help others. It was during my own personal experience with therapy (as a client) that I came to really value relationships with people and the power of the psychotherapy space. I believe that transformative change occurs simply by genuinely existing with another person.

There are so many mixed messages coming both from with in and without that it is so easy to become lost in it all. Looking forward can trigger anxiety, looking back can bring on depression, and we don't know what to do in the present to find some relief and direction. Sometimes we even do some out of the way things to try and solve what we have going on, in the end we feel lost and alone.

I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety, and depression associated with intrusive negative thoughts. Do you suffer from chronic worries or frequent thoughts that you might have an undiagnosed illness?...might behave immorally?...or do you have fears that you might commit actions that would be harmful to others? Have you felt ashamed to admit these worries for fear of what your friends or family might think of you? Do you engage in seemingly endless episodes of "researching" to uncover what might be wrong with you or feel a repetitive urge to make "confessions" that others tell you are silly or completely unnecessary?

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.
