In my practice, I collaborate with my clients to build a safe and affirming therapeutic space from which we can explore difficult feelings and past experiences with curiosity and compassion. Music has played a central role in my life and allows me to incorporate creativity, deep listening, and playfulness into my therapy practice. I often use art and music as alternative forms of expression, understanding, and communication. I invite my clients to also bring their full selves to our sessions, weaving in humor, play, and their interests to enrich our work together.

Curiosity, openness, and compassion are at the center of my therapeutic style. I work with people dealing with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and grief. I will offer you a supportive space where hidden parts of yourself can surface. We will take a look at any feelings, conflicts, and desires that come up and try to understand how they relate to what you’re going through now. This process can lead to real and lasting change.

Hello and welcome to my profile.
By now I would assume that you've read several profiles on the "Psychology Today" site and by this point they are probably all sounding astonishingly similar. That's got to be frustrating.
I hope that the following information concerning my practice doesn't have the same effect.
Let me be brief: I work with a multitude of issues and problems that relate to: couples, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also work with addictions including eating disorders. My approach can help you work through unconscious conflict (repeating patterns again and again without understanding why) as well as compulsive behaviors such as drinking, thought ruminating and habitual behaviors that are difficult to control.I can help you 'evolve' out of your particular problem. I am supportive and reality based while I can always find humor in the worst and the best of times. Together we can turn this all around and get you to where you want to be.

After many years of working in direct service in organizations, I come to private practice using an eclectic approach, often blending behavioral therapies with psychodynamic roots through a person-centered lens. I aim to modify theories and interventions to shape positive outcomes for the client's cultural aspects. My experience provides a connective insight into a client's progression toward healthy development. The foundational pillars of ethics are necessary for effective counseling and are the core of each platform implemented in my therapeutic practice.

Waitlist for new clients
For everyone there are patterns in our relationships with ourselves and with others that often go unnoticed and unexplored. Through a psychodynamic and trauma-informed approach, I work with clients to identify these patterns and to develop insight so they can experience more emotional growth and well-being. Change can be hard and we often use avoidance as an ineffective coping mechanism.

Life has a way of bringing us challenges that we are not always prepared for. It might be related to a medical condition, issues with family, or the loss of a loved one. Sometimes it is related to trying to be comfortable in the life we have built for ourselves and the expectations of the community we live in.

Most people come to therapy with a specific symptom or problem, which they hope to change. It may be a particular fear such as a fear of flying or of speaking up in groups; it may be a more general, distressing, feeling of depression or loneliness, or it may be a pattern of behavior that is disruptive - a pattern such as a tendency to be hypercritical, a difficulty in taking initiative or an inability to keep one's own needs and wishes firmly in mind.

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.
