Hi there! Do you find yourself with a near constant sense of unease? Are you often feeling overwhelmed by your relationships, career, or expectations you feel others have for you? Maybe there are certain things you feel like you need to do to relieve that unease, and if you don't, you'll be crushed by the weight of it all. Do you ever feel as though you have to conform to certain expectations of the world around you? Maybe you haven't seen yourself reflected in what others see as "successful," "mature," or even "good."

Life's challenges can feel overwhelming. Sometimes, we feel as though something is wrong, but we are unable to pinpoint/identify it. Other times we just need someone to talk to... The road to recovery from anything can be daunting, and I would be honored if you would allow me to accompany you on your Journey.

I have many years experience & specialized training in helping people navigate through their emotional burdens to find peace, clarity and healing in their lives.
Dealing with trauma, depression, and anxiety can be incredibly challenging. The consequences of trauma often include struggling with long-term depression & anxiety. Moreover, one can just feel overwhelmed from everyday societal pressures like interpersonal issues, financial stress and the climate crisis. Everyone deserves a safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment and I am here to help you do that.

I was first drawn to social work when I worked in a facility that housed teens. I enjoyed the relationships I made and the support I was able to provide. I realized my strength was simply just listening and making them feel heard. This experience eventually lead me to receiving my Masters in Social Work and becoming a clinical therapist. My goal has always been to help my clients understand that they can overcome any obstacle by using the daily skills I provide to change their outlook. With a little patience and time, we will work on changing thoughts and behaviors, so depression and anxiety are less likely to occur.

Do you feel stuck in certain areas of your life? Do you find that themes or patterns in your relationships or endeavors tend to repeat themselves? Psychotherapy provides a space to examine how you relate to yourself and the world and express often difficult and painful emotional experiences. Increasing awareness through this process can create new opportunities for growth and change. My approach to psychotherapy is grounded on evidence-based common factors that predict positive outcomes across different therapeutic approaches. These include factors like the therapeutic alliance, empathy, and affirmation.

I believe that the hu man experience can be similar to a garden which requires various forms of care.
Often in our lives we may encounter experiences which our current adaptive skills no longer serve us. Acceptance, compassion, and honesty with yourself can be challenging. Reaching out for support is often hard. It is during these times of discomfort that being met where you are, with what you have may be an opportunity to change the current course of your life.

The journey of therapy should be something you are drawn toward, not something you have to convince yourself to do. I want my clients to look forward to coming to their sessions, especially when what we're working through is tough. Therapy is a serious and powerful undertaking, but it doesn't have to be ominous. I think being down-to-earth and as lighthearted as possible about the institution of therapy helps to make it feel more accessible and fight any stigma attached to it. I look forward to working with you, you and your partner, or your family!

We can't change the past, but we can try to understand it. Perhaps more importantly, we can decide how we want to live in the present. What is it that is keeping you from experiencing greater meaning and fulfillment in life?

Feeling overwhelmed? Flooded with painful emotion? Out of touch with yourself? When we don't have the relational support to help us during times of distress, we tend to find other ways to cope with our suffering or to disconnect altogether. Although these coping strategies may have kept us alive and functioning in the past, they may not be serving our best interests. Therapy can be a place to learn more adaptive ways of coping and to use even difficult experiences to grow as a person. As a psychologist, I use research-proven techniques to help people who are in the midst of crises as well as people who feel broken and unhelpable.

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.
