I believe that each hu man being has a unique experience, and that with the right tools, they can work to become the master of their story.
Psychology Today's call forwarding does not always reach me. Please EMAIL in addition to calling! I believe in helping every person toward their potential and strength to achieve a state of holistic wellness. I believe that the most important aspect of a counseling relationship is the hu man connection. After establishing a mutual, trusting connection with my clients, I utilize an integrative approach, with a Narrative Therapy emphasis. Together, my clients and I work to achieve a unique blend of meaning-making, helping clients to make sense of their story, process what it means in their life today, and choose how to look forward.

Over the years I see that I am very well-suited to work with clients who are experiencing a major life transition. These include changes in relationship status, employment, health, sexual/ gender identity, as well as retirement/aging concerns. While transitions can bring new opportunities, such changes also come with an array of losses, endings and goodbyes. Transitions can generate challenging symptoms, including a sense of grieving, starting over and/or confronting the unknown. Life can lead one to a place where it pushes you to explore your personality and life choices, and make new sense of your life experiences.

I believe our capacity to connect, both with ourselves and with those we love is vital to our happiness. When we are in a state of disconnection, we can feel anxious, isolated, empty, and depressed. I get this, and feel its my job to provide a safe place where you can trust, feel respected and cared for, in the process of therapy. I understand its difficult to feel worried, discouraged, and overwhelmed by everyday challenges. We all have suffered in silence, waiting for things to get better, because seeking help may seem too scary....I want to help.

I particularly enjoy working with other men.
I view my role to be as a guide in the journey of recovering access to our inherent capacity for health and psychological wholeness. My approach to counseling is hu manistic and depth-oriented; our past informs, but need not limit our present lives. I specialize in IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help clients get acquainted with parts of themselves and reconcile inner tensions. At times I may utilize art-based techniques to provide clients with other languages with which to communicate, as well as resourcing techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches to mobilize individual and family strengths.

From time to time, the complexity of life de mands something that overwhelms our usual coping strategies. These challenges can sometimes be brought on by relationships, careers, family, or health. Or perhaps it’s something more connected to our core understanding of the world around us. The meaning we've made from life's past events serves as a template for how we will process each new experience in the future. My goal is to help facilitate an insight-oriented process of understanding why we feel the way we do and provide a source of strength and a healthy curiosity to lead to a better tomorrow.

I specialize in sexual addiction, drug and alcohol abuse, first responders and veterans, trauma, men's issues, and Christian men struggling to find their identity in a secular world.
Everyone goes through periods of struggle in their lives. Maybe it's the stress of a major life change or fear of what the future will hold. Perhaps you find yourself stuck in the past, or in an addiction/compulsive behavior and you feel alone and powerless to control it. Or, maybe you feel abandoned, angry, and/or confused about how you fit into our increasingly polarized society. Wherever it is you find yourself, you know life is not supposed to feel like this. You are not alone; I can help you walk out of the dark valley you find yourself in.

We all get stuck sometimes; and we suffer. Life often feels messy and chaotic, and in the midst of "the daily grind" we experience ourselves as unbalanced, fragmented, and "all over the place." Life is perpetually full of transition and change; and our habituated ways of being in the world are often at odds with the ebb and flow of life's events, and we experience stress, conflict and pain. Despite our resources, strategies and efforts to cope with challenges, we often get stuck; and end up feeling dissatisfied with ourselves, disenchanted with others, and disconnected from life, vitality, joy.

My work focuses on increasing satisfaction and meaning in people's lives.

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.
