Do you feel trapped in a story that you don't like? Do you feel powerless, misunderstood, or lacking in some way? So much of what we experience is the result of the stories we believe about ourselves. Often, we don't examine these stories to see if they're true. I want to help you break through to a more genuine understanding of yourself. We'll look for your strengths, abilities, and true interests and we'll work to discover how you can rise above the limitations you currently perceive. I have years of experience successfully coaching people with anxiety, mental health challenges and addictions. I'd be honored to work with you.

My ideal client would be a person who is ready and willing to explore how their past informs their present, how their internal life (thoughts, emotions, and aspirations) influences their external life (job, family, and friendships), and how their perceptions shape their reality.

You'd be "fine" without therapy, but you know there's probably some stuff you could sort through as you work on becoming an even better version of yourself: anxiety in certain situations, how you deal with conflict, "stuff" that comes up in relationships. On the surface you're doing well. You've "made it" by society's standards, but haven't found the "hack" to happiness and just can't be present. People might be surprised if they learned that below it all you sometimes really struggle...struggle to know how to cope in healthy ways, how to handle all of the overwhelm, and how to get our of your own mind - and out of your own way.

I am eclectic in my therapy approach collaborating with each client to achieve their goals. Generally I emphasize cognitive and behavioral techniques combined with sufficient psychodynamic understanding of our personality functioning. I work with alternative techniques, including hypnosis.
I am known for my optimistic energy and engaging, nurturing style. I look into each client to see excitement rather than anxiety, adventure rather than apprehension, vitality rather than drudgery, empowerment rather that loss of control, courage and strength rather than pain. I advocate trying something new, breaking the old patterns that continue to produce the unwanted consequences.

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.
