As intimidating as therapy may seem, it is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding processes an individual can go through. I have such a deep appreciation for my clients as they show the willingness and commitment to improving their well-being. I believe that each client has their own unique set of strengths and through our collaborative efforts, will learn how to harness them to overcome their struggles. I work with individuals ranging from late adolescence to late adulthood. Additionally, I have experience with athletic populations both in treatment and mentoring.

Creating meaningful change in how we approach life or our relationships can be difficult. If you are feeling stuck in a cycle that is hard to escape, therapy may be what you're looking for. I believe in the transformative power of the counseling relationship and the innate resilience that lies within everyone. In working together, we can create the space necessary to challenge unhelpful ideas and explore uncomfortable topics in a way that allows us to feel safe. I'm also an advocate for transparency in how therapy works. I intend to keep you informed on our goals and how we are working towards them.

The ideal client doesn't exist. Everybody has issues ranging from traumatic experiences, difficulty family dynamics, medical comorbidities... the list goes on. What I ultimately aim to do is maximize and enhance overall well being through a therapeutic alliance. Many people find that their issue is simply not being able to comprehend or emotionally regulate themselves in a difficult situation. They need skills to do this. Their goal is to be able to function independently as much as possible. They want to thrive in the face of adversity because to them that means strength and courage.

Many of us are overwhelmed with our responsibilities: work, taking care of loved ones, family, keeping our bills paid, starting out in life. It goes on. Current work culture, social media, and influencers bombard us with messages to keep "hustling". We feel guilty and selfish if we take time and put ourselves first. If you are this essential to keeping the gears moving, shouldn't you be maintained? Keep pushing and you will eventually break down. When you break down, guess what? You won't be any good to those you do all this for, you may even become a burden. Maybe self-care isn't something we should feel guilty of then.

In contemporary society, seeking the guidance of a therapist represents a significant stride towards achieving future success. Frequently, individuals inadvertently suppress their authentic selves and potential for the sake of others, concealing their struggles behind metaphorical masks or donning the facade of invincibility. Such actions engender internal discord, frequently precipitating challenges in personal relationships, impacting not only individuals themselves but also those around them.

I approach patient care with the belief that we all have the inner resources needed for healing. Being in therapy does not need to be a life-long process yet one can gain invaluable insight as well as emotional and mental support from working with a seasoned clinician. The therapeutic process should help one to become increasingly more honest with self and ultimately more capable of enjoying life's precious moments.

I love being a therapist, and I have several beliefs about therapy that embody my therapeutic philosophy. First, I believe that the therapist-client relationship is sacred, and that only meaningful therapeutic work can occur through a strong alliance built on trust and free of shame and judgment. Secondly, I believe that therapy is a portal to healing wounds that loneliness and isolation worsen. Thirdly, I believe it is important to support and guide clients in living lives that are true to their own values and reflective of their authentic selves.

“It’s always best to believe in one’s self, but a little help from others can be a great blessing!” I view each person as the main character in their book of life. Each book contains stories of joy, sadness, exploration, struggle, and most importantly: HOPE! My goal to assist in exploring these stories, whether you encounter depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, intersectional struggles, or self-esteem issues. I am especially sensitive to those impacted by LGBTQ issues, religious minorities, activists, uniformed public servants, and those experiencing depression.

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.
