All life issues offer an opportunity for growth, I base my process of therapy on the therapeutic relationship. No special psychotherapy techniques, my goal for you, is to have a better handle on your current challenge. We incorporate sand trays, an expressive therapy with children or adults to create scenes of miniature worlds that reflect a person's inner thoughts, struggles, and issues.

I practice from an eclectic perspective, but utilize hu manistic, DBT, EMDR, and other skill- and process-based interventions to help you manage challenging feelings and untangle emotional wounds.
Feeling stuck in life? Maybe it's time to get some help. Do you find yourself getting sad or angry at confusing moments in your life? Do others find you to be "primarily angry," "often sad," or in some other way dominated by one particular feeling? Expressing and/or making sense of negative emotions is sometimes challenging. I help people examine, understand, and process their feelings so that they can be more productive and self-secure. I am also particularly skilled in helping people with life and career transition problems.

If we often struggle to connect with ourselves and with others, then how can we feel safe, how can we make sense of what's happening inside, how can we make sense of what's happening between us and others? I help people find meaningful ways to effectively communicate and connect with themselves and each other, make sense of their experiences and relationships, and ultimately, find a path toward healing. I believe in the innate drive of every person to move toward health. With acceptance, curiosity, and compassion, I help people slow down, attune to that drive, and support them in moving with it.

The feeling of being safe, valued, and connected is something we all need and desire. We also crave relief and healing when we feel hurt or crushed in our emotional, relational, or life experiences. At times, we may try to cope by putting more effort or energy into numbing the pain or distancing ourselves from the problem only to find that it really hasn'tbeen resolved, or that we're even more entangled. What would it feel like to be listened to and deeply heard; to have your experiences validated; and to not be alone in gaining perspective and empowerment so that you can experience safety, worth, and connection again?

—Accepting New Clients In-Person or Virtual; Text or Call to Schedule Free Consult— Anxiety, depression, grief, relationship conflict, trauma responses...these are symptoms of underlying pain and fracturing that can be healed. You might know the origin, such as an acute loss or trauma, or maybe you have no idea why you feel lonely, on edge, misunderstood, or unable to face life transitions. It's a common experience to feel disconnected, even from yourself, and while I believe you're the only one who can ultimately make yourself whole, you don't have to find the way alone.

Welcome! You have now taken the first step in seeking out support and I know this may not have been easy. Finding time for self-care is so important, but often is first to go. Do you feel weighed down with general life stress, anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, work issues, low self-esteem, relationship stress, LGBTQ+ specific stress or even coming into a new awareness of your gender/sexual identity? Have you found yourself struggling to focus on the present, having your past or future concerns pulling you in opposite directions? Perhaps you want to learn how to work with situations you face instead of fighting them.

My insight into the male experience provides many benefits for my clients, including the recognition of adult and teen stressors, how we think about anger (our cognitions) and we act out our anger (our behaviors).
Anger management is not about removing one's anger; anger management is learning to recognize and control our responses to life's anger causing stressors. Without the proper help, this may be easier said than done. If your primary concern is the need to discover how to manage your anger, please recognize there is a vast difference between general training and advanced certification in my area of expertise.

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.
