The first appointment will involve an evaluation of your needs and goals. What you hope to accomplish will direct the course of treatment. As we work together you can expect to gain better self-understanding through thought-provoking dialogue and reflection. The therapeutic process sometimes requires talking about difficult subjects or having challenging conversations so compassion, honesty, and respect will be guiding principles during those times.

Where there’s pain, there’s an unmet need. Maybe that unmet need is connection with others, or self-worth, or courage, or something else. I’ve learned this through my own experience with social anxiety—a decade of low self-esteem, overthinking my appearance, isolating from friends, feeling too anxious to begin relationships. It totally sucked. But my turning point came with therapy that gave me a kind of insight and inspiration that nothing else did. So, I hope I'll give you a space as helpful as the one I received.

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.

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.
