Working with individuals in all walks of life has been my life's calling. I feel most drawn to those that are anywhere from adolescence to adulthood navigating any number of life's changes. The changes that we experience are not always within our control or ones that we would wish on anyone. This is why I feel particularly drawn to those that have experienced trauma in any of its forms, from war, to abuse and those that have experienced grief and loss. Walking with clients as they navigate their path through life to find what works best for them is a powerful experience that i feel particularly privileged to be able to be a part of.

I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults struggling with self-identity, sexual and gender identity, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I provide a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment in which clients can process these struggles and find healing through a way that fits them best. Healing looks different for everyone depending on what their goals and aspirations are in life. My goal is to help each client create a life they love and is worth living.

My ideal client can recognize what their issue is, I treat everyone open minded and do not have a "cookie cutter" approach as everyone is different. I will listen to your needs and help you determine an outcome to help you spiritually reach your goals. We will discuss the root issue and what your desired outcome is.

Our lives can often feel like someone else is reading a choose-your-own-adventure book, with each turn of the page dictated by external forces. Have you felt this way? Stuck, isolated, or overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Perhaps anxiety, major life transitions, family stress, or boundary issues have left you seeking support. You’re not alone, and I’m here to help guide you to reclaim your agency and responsibility, empowering you to choose your story with intention and purpose.

Potential clients struggling with depression and anxiety, difficulty with traumatic events, and those who are having marital/premarital problems all have one common denominator which is the relationships that surround them. Symptoms such as these are just that; a symptom. The problem's root lies within the system of relationships that surround them. I intend to help you to understand these issues and how they become problems, and to provide a safe, therapeutic environment to discuss them in detail.

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.
