Sometimes we need to talk to someone we can trust to keep our words confidential, a skilled listener; who won’t jump to conclusions; who is patient, kind, and not afraid to hear awful things; someone who will listen to embarrassing or painful things. Sometimes we need someone who will fully hear us. Sometimes we need someone who does not give pat answers to impossible situations; someone who wants to help us come up with what works for us instead of stamping their pre-packaged solutions all over our complex suffering. I want to be that person for you. Come and tell me your hopes and struggles and let’s find a way forward together.

Right now you feel overwhelmed and helpless. It's as if you're constantly battling whispers that you're not enough, your relationships are destined to fail, or your life's purpose has faded away? Let me assure you: hope is very much alive. In the hectic pace of life, it's all too easy to feel lost, as if our daily routines are more burdensome than fulfilling. When exhaustion sets in from trying to juggle all your responsibilities—be it in personal life, marriage, work, or your calling—you might find yourself standing on the brink, looking out and feeling utterly alone.

Do you feel burnt out, disillusioned, or are you questioning the direction of your life? You're not alone. Many high performers encounter hidden struggles like addiction, anger, depression, or burnout, often masking their pain behind a facade of success. Whether you've been living up to others' expectations or pursuing dreams that don't feel like your own, these experiences can leave you feeling lost and uncertain about the future. What happens when your tried-and-true strategies falter? When your seemingly perfect life starts to feel hollow? Or when success doesn't bring the satisfaction it once did?

My approach to therapy involves focusing on the family unit, meeting each individual family member where they’re at while treating them as an important part of the therapeutic process. I do this by treating each family member equally and with compassion. I often get calls from parents asking me to help their child and my response is always the same… “Let's work together to help your kiddo.” Studies show that when parents are involved, kids recover from trauma significantly faster.

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.
