I have experience working with many different individuals, but feel most at home working with relationship issues (ro mantic, familial, platonic), depression, and anxiety.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I work with adolescents and adults who are seeking to improve the quality of their relationships and lives. I am a firm believer that what is harmed in relationships is healed in relationships, because of this I value developing a strong relationship with my clients, where the client feels welcomed, accepted, and validated, as the absolute most important part of the process. I am willing to adapt to what you feel is best for yourself and will follow your lead if and when you see fit.

Life transitions can bring emotions of anxiety, depression, anger and feeling overwhelmed. Often times these emotions can impact personal and work relationships. I believe that with time and strategic goal planning these feelings and patterns can be shaped and managed.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in the treatment of trauma. I define trauma as an unhealed wound that continues to affect daily living. People who experience trauma often develop adaptive strategies to cope, but those strategies tend to become problematic as time goes by. It is important to remember that no child is responsible for their own abuse. Any assault on a person is the responsibility of the person who is committing violence. Trauma is not weakness, but an opportunity to become strong at the broken places.

Despite having practiced for many years, I still understand and respect how difficult it is to reach out and ask for help.
I strongly feel that the therapist/patient relationship is one of shared effort and accountability. Successful therapy is a mutual commitment to develop and attain goals that assist patients in achieving, returning to or creating a quality of life that is fulfilling and enjoyable.

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.
