I believe that any person is capable of growth and healing. My approach to the therapeutic process is a collaborative one, in which I work with my clients to find their personal strengths and help them utilize those strengths as they address their own challenges and work toward improving their lives.. I also believe it's important to recognize both the internal and external factors that impact one's mental health, and I see it as my job to help clients recognize what external factors are creating stress, and then work with them to develop strategies to manage, minimize or eliminate those stressors.

Now accepting new clients! Has life become a process of just going through the motions? Has the build up of painful memories from the past or the worry about what will happen next keep you from living life to its fullest? The truth is that each one of us will struggle at some point on this "path" we call life. However, as common as this struggle is, likewise is the struggle of working up the courage to reach out and ask for help when we need it. The beauty of counseling is that it reveals this path doesn’t have to be walked alone.

My perspective draws from the hu manistic tradition, which honors the inherent dignity and worth of all people.
Change requires being both vulnerable and strong. As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe and authentic space that encourages vitality and growth; so people can find meaning and healing in their lives.

I am a hu manistic existential therapist.
Do want to want to live authentically with yourself and others? Has something happened that makes you question your core beliefs and values? My primary goal is to understand you as to want to be understood - without rigid diagnoses or other labels. We will work together to fully understand who you have been, who you are in the present, and who you aspire to be. We will also consider how your current beliefs may be based on long-held assumptions and are no longer your own. Ultimately, good therapy will free up your capacity to consider new choices that are more closely aligned with your own values and goals.

How important is family recovery and healing? The opportunities for an individual to seek addictions or mental health counseling are many and varied, although it can be difficult initially to find entry. But what about their families? It has been proven that family involvement in the individual's treatment and recovery program improves long-term healthy outcomes significantly, and in my 16 years in the addictions and mental health field I've found that to be the undeniable truth! But where can families find effective counseling - both for themself and with their recovering loved ones?

Given this dynamic, it is no wonder that men are far less likely to seek and maintain a counseling relationship.
As problems develop in our lives it can be difficult to see the whole picture. As a result, the problems we face often leave us confused, unsure of ourselves, and feeling lost or helpless. In my work as a counselor I take a practical approach in helping people gain a deeper understanding of their lives, relationships, and sense of self. You can expect me to be an understanding and compassionate collaborator while also gently challenging you to consider new perspectives and solutions.

I believe the most valuable therapeutic relationships are those that honor and validate your past and present experiences, with the intention of identifying and navigating obstacles to healing and growth. I approach our work together with respect, empathy, curiosity, and authenticity, so you have a safe supportive place to explore: patterns of thought, feeling, physical sensation, and behavior; your relationship with yourself and with the important people in your life; and the valued directions in which you would like to travel.

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.
