Drawing from Existential Psychology, Hu manistic, Jungian, and Psychoanalytic approaches I implement interventions such as traditional talk therapy, guided meditation, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and shadow-work to help you break free from what binds you, feel grounded, and become embodied.
Are you tired of feeling a sense of hopelessness and meaninglessness? Do you feel numb, as if you are drifting through life without experiencing it? Does it seem like no matter what you do you find yourself in the same place and same relationships? I am committed to coming alongside you in finding healing, meaning, and a sense of being alive. It is my goal to nourish space where you feel seen and safe to develop and empower your authentic self. My primary focus is on individuals dealing with Depression, Anxiety, Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, & Dissociative Identity Disorder.

My current interests are in the areas of neurobiology, anthropology, and the psychological aspects of integrative medicine such as nutritional strategies, exercise strategies and stress management strategies.
I am now able to provide telepsychology through a secure platform for video and audio. The program works with most computers and some smartphones. Telepsychology services are supported by most insurances. Over 30 years of practice, I have found it helpful to focus therapy on four areas: (1) the quality of a person's relationships and how these relationships impact the person's primary emotional concerns, (2) how the person's primary emotional problems impact their loved ones, (3) developing coping skills for particular emotional problems and (4) practical problem solving solutions for various life issues.

I believe that mental health issues arise when we are faced with overwhelming emotions in isolation. Without the necessary support, emotions get so big and daunting that we defend ourselves against them, leading to numbness, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to invite intense emotions into the room so that we can learn to regulate them together and they can be reincorporated into the psyche, leading to a fuller and healthier life.

Are you tired of drinking? Is there somebody else you know that is tired of your drinking? If you can answer yes to either f those statements, I am sure there are times you know deep down you really want to quit or at least cut down. Other times, however, you don't think things are too bad and maybe you can handle it. Often, you have both thoughts in the same day and knowing the best path forward is frustrating. Let me encourage you with this thought: If you are reading this, you have already decided that you need something different in your life, its time.

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.
