Work, family, romantic relationships and friendships can be sources of deep fulfillment and joy, as well as conflict, doubt and anxiety. I'm interested in helping people explore their interpersonal patterns, thoughts and emotions in order to find real solutions to the problems that prevent them from feeling confident, happy and excited for life. In my practice, I aim to create a space where you are listened to deeply, free from judgment and closed-mindedness so you can openly express yourself without inhibition.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a dacade of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I make sure that all my time with clients feels genuine and personable. I find it a lot easier, and frankly more fun, when you can enjoy talking with your therapist, and the mental health work doesn’t feel like a chore. I primarily work from systemic theories, and incorporate solution-focused work into my practice. After a thorough exploration of presenting issues, I aim to set clear goals for therapy in the initial sessions. I find it is important to evolve solution attempts to get change started.

Feeling uncertain, frustrated, or exhausted? Are these emotions starting to feel overwhelming? In times of heightened uncertainty, resilience becomes paramount, often stemming from self-awareness and self-acceptance. Through therapy, we embark on a journey to cultivate empathy, enhance self-expression, and foster compassion within ourselves. Additionally, we learn to establish and honor our boundaries while nurturing the relationships that provide us with support. I strongly believe that therapy should be engaging and dynamic, creating a space where growth and transformation can flourish.

Do you want to change how you feel, your habits, or how you interact with others?  You deserve a therapist who will listen with empathy and offer insight without judgment, someone who will help you figure out what is holding you back and how to overcome it. This may require examining your perceptions, your beliefs, your interactions, and of course your history. Evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may also be helpful.

Adjusting to changes in a time of uncertainty while maintaining a sense of connection to one’s friends and family can be difficult. In such conditions it is easy to feel disconnected from one's career and from the support systems used to foster a sense of stability. This sense of disconnection can be overwhelming and can result in feelings of anxiety and depression.

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.
