As a psychotherapist with extensive training and experience working with the adolescent and adult population, I’ve helped many individuals suffering from OCD, Anxiety, and Sex Addiction. My clients have seen powerful results as they learn to transform negative patterns towards living calm, productive, and meaningful lives. Having received training from Dr. Jonathan Grayson and Dr. Reid Wilson, world renowned OCD and Anxiety experts respectively, I have gained particular expertise in the treatment of these disorders.

If you need someone to talk with who will understand you, your depressed moods, your feelings, your detrimental behaviors, your anxiety, your relationships, your unfulfilled dreams, your nagging questions etc.. and assist YOU to understand them as well, I can help. If you want someone to talk with about the "stressful" events or disturbing interpersonal interactions of the week, I would love to guide you to process them in a more calming and positive perspective. I have been fortunate to have helped hundreds of clients via several mental health agencies and telehealth companies, and I may have availability to help you too

It’s hard to remember the last time you woke up feeling rested. When you actually do sleep, you wish that you hadn’t . The nightmares that ensue, reminding you of the horror you so desperately want to escape from, come back to haunt you at night. The daytime is no reprieve either, those flashbacks are the worst of them all. The expression of “being caught between a rock and a hard place” starts to take on a whole new dimension.

You’re feeling overwhelmed and anxious all the time. It’s leaving you sad, unmotivated, without any energy, and it is sapping all the confidence out of you. And you’re going crazy from all the overthinking about your problems the whole day. Maybe some even think you are confident and successful, but you know that deep down you are insecure, indecisive, and feel like an imposter and if people knew you, you doubt that they would still like you or respect you. It seems like the difficulties in your life and past traumas have overtaken you and are holding you back.

Therapy is about both addressing specific issues which may be getting in our way as well as cultivating a healthy curiosity about ourselves, our patterns, and our experiences. Life is wrought with transitions which can catch us off-guard, and it is common to feel unsure as to whether we are on the right path. Thankfully, these can be successfully navigated collaboratively and discreetly through a relationship with a trusted professional. Gaining an understanding of ourselves through identifying our blind spots is the first step in establishing a life that is both purposeful and fulfilling.

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.
