I provide evidence-based care for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) & other anxiety disorders such as panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, etc.. My approach is skills-focused and emphasizes each client’s active participation in care within/between sessions. I aim to help you learn more adaptive ways to relate to your current difficulties and actively practice what you learn. I hope to support you to spend more time doing what you value most and less time on anxious distress/avoidance, getting back to living the life you want.

I believe in a person’s innate ability to find meaningful change and growth in their lives. Sometimes this can come in the form of making changes, finding greater balance, or exploring ways to cope with life's stressors. Modern life can drive disconnect between where we find joy and our everyday lives. Therapy can be a safe place to explore who you are, what drives you, and how you can better cope with the stress life brings. I have experience working with individuals, families, and groups of all ages and diverse backgrounds, and have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, grief, finding purpose, and life changes.

Many people appear to be confident, when in reality they feel as though they can barely keep it together. Sometimes, the challenge may seem more than anyone can handle. If you inwardly feel overwhelmed or trapped in your life, counseling could help. People often get stuck in patterns that restrict growth or their ability to see new perspectives. Effective counseling can help you gain insight and control over obstacles that prevent you from living a full life. Therapy requires courage, an open mind, and a need to do more than survive; it requires a desire to thrive.

Waitlist for new clients
I am accepting new clients on a short waitlist depending on availability. Our world can make daily life feel disorienting, but a life worth living is possible. For those of us who are neurodivergent, feel overwhelming emotions, or have marginalized identities, keeping it all together can feel like a full-time job. I know the feeling. We live in a world of interconnected systems that serve to help us but also hold us back in many ways. Psychotherapy can offer emotional containment and validation, shift attachment styles, and allow us to say out loud what we thought was unsayable. I see clients 15+ years old.

Sometimes things arise in someone's life that seem insurmountable. When talking to friends and family doesn't help it may seem like there is no way through a situation. Speaking to a trained therapist may be the best way to bring about the change you need. This can be difficult and uncomfortable at times but with hard work change is not only possible but inevitable. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues can be treated with strength-based, client-focused treatment.

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.
