Healing doesn't ask you to become someone else. Rather, it involves rediscovering who you already are, hidden and/or forgotten beneath all the layers of pain, shame, confusion, guilt, feeling stuck, etc.. Pain in life is inevitable, but it doesn't have to cause suffering. We can learn to become more capable of dealing with life's challenges as they arise and perhaps even transform them into opportunities for growth. I strive to empower clients to create meaningful change in their lives. I also strive to help clients understand themselves better. Often, these processes go hand in hand.

If you have ADHD or ADHD adjacent concerns (i.e. OCD, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues), you might find life events to be incredibly overwhelming (even simple work tasks and chores). You're noticing that life events like starting a new job or committing to an academic major might challenge your sense of identity, disrupt your routines, and cause you to question our goals and values. You might find that you're procrastinating, losing track of appointments, and forgetting things you should remember. In cases like this, it’s easy to feel stuck, lost, or helpless.

I believe that “trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.” I work with those who have experienced various forms of trauma, including shock, developmental, medical, relational, and religious trauma. I also work with those experiencing forms of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and those experiencing systemic and cultural forms of oppression. I believe that everyone has the right to a nurturing and supportive space, and strive towards the ongoing creation of an inclusive environment for all.

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.
