"I Will Not Fear." These are words that empower my clients to battle and overcome anxiety. You are not your own enemy; anxiety is the enemy. Change the way you relate to your feelings and you will change your relationship with anxiety and depression now, not next year.
My approach is Solution Focused,letting go of the past and not fearing the future.

This is a tough time. Really. We are all born to be connected, but are pulled away from source and are now lonely. seekling love, purpose, acceptance and empathy in the presence of a caring straight-shooting and good humored guide. I work with individuals, couples and groups. I work with outsiders whose resilience, relational, emotional, spiritual and financial potentials may be have been thwarted from inadequate care givers and the trauma of just surviving in the world we a living in. We loose our capacity for emotional regulation and don't have "the words to say it". Let me help you.

If you're someone who is dealing with anxiety, depression, grieving, financial strains, marital/family issues, behavioral issues with your children, identity issues, or employment issues - You and I may be a great fit to work together. I invite you to think of therapy as a process where we will identify your unique issue, and go down the road of discovery to help you understand your beliefs, values and systems around your current lifestyle. As we develop deeper understanding of your unique view of the world we can then cultivate a life you're excited about and achieve freedom from these problems/situations you feel stuck in.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes “overwhelming” and “unfair” seem like more accurate descriptions. When comfort, happiness, fulfillment, and optimism have become lost in the shadows of troublesome life experiences, it is hard to figure out our next step. Though it might be scary, contacting a counselor is the first step toward reclaiming the satisfaction that’s been since-missing. Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, or looking for a new counselor that better suits your needs, you’ve come to the right place.

My approach to therapy is that the client is the expert in their own life and I’m there to listen to them and help them explore themselves and their experiences. I believe that allowing clients the space and time to explore is extremely important, especially considering how fast paced life often is. When a person has time to explore themselves and their feelings in a safe environment, they have more room to process their feelings and understand themselves and the world around them on a deeper level. This time to process emotions allows clients to grow and learn what they may need moving forward in their lives.

I understand that, for many people, opening yourself up and being vulnerable to a complete stranger, can be a daunting task at first. My ideal client would be any individual or couple willing to reflect on their lives and experiences, whether that be positive, negative, or indifferent.

Waitlist for new clients
At times, life is hard. The life we always envisioned is not matching up to our reality. Life has thrown us a curve ball and we don't know what to do. Sometimes, we wake up with feelings of sadness, fear or anger, which could stick with us throughout the day. These feelings can sometimes affect us from completing our everyday tasks or even our relationships with others. The things we are trying are not working. We want things to change; but don’t know how or where to start. Therapy might be that the place to begin.

Over the past 37 years I have had much success in helping adults, teens and children deal with a wide range of emotional, psychological and behavioral problems. These include depression, anxiety, anger, and sexual difficulties. I have been especially helpful in treating people experiencing relationship problems, as well as helping people break through the barriers that hold them back in life. I believe with time, patience, perseverance and motivation psychotherapy can be an effective treatment for symptom reduction and personal growth.

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.
