In it’s most distilled-down description, I believe in curiosity and process. My therapy style is focused on building an authentic and emotionally-engaged connection with each and every one of my clients by creating a safe, trusting environment from the moment I meet them. I have an unwavering faith in the inherent goodness and flame of truth that lives within us all and work with my clients from this stance. I also believe every person deserves patience and understanding as to their unique needs in the therapeutic process and that the authentic and secure relationship I develop with them can lead to profound transformation.

There are many ways to address relationship issues so I offer individual, couples, family, and group therapy, depending on what people might need at any given time.
Relationships can be the most important and supportive part of life but can often be difficult and filled with conflict. We can experience difficulty at home, at work, with friends, with coworkers, or extended family. Whether it is online or in person, we spend a lot of our day interacting with others and problematic relationships often negatively affect our overall mental health.

I am an advanced clinician in Imago Therapy. When relationships aren't working very well or are on the brink of ending, it really feels bad; like the rug is being pulled out from under you. Often there are solvable reasons for why these things happen. I am motivated by those methods such as Imago therapy and EFT which have worked so well for so many in the past to help couples develop a high degree of safe attachment in their relationships. Something, that once they have learned how to do it, they can take with them because it is portable.

My regard for my clients is always unconditional and it is always positive. I want to help those who have problems with depression, anxiety, addiction, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or many other mental health crises, these things that disconnect a person from himself or herself. More than ever, we have a duty to take ownership and redefine ourselves. Sometimes this requires much work, reflection, pain, courage, and sometimes maybe even a rebirth. I believe I can provide help with these things.

Many find it difficult to ask for help or to give attention to their needs.
At a glance, psychotherapy is a service offered by licensed counselors to treat mental illness & improve wellbeing. To the initiated, however, it is much more. Therapy is powerful. Its focus and impact can vary from person to person. To some, therapy means relief from suffering. For others, it means having access to safety, compassion, and understanding. It’s also used to increase confidence, improve relationships, explore identity, and more. I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative and flexible. My approach is to combine my clinical experience with my clients' natural strengths to help them achieve their goals.

One of the hardest things as a father is to watch my children go through difficult things and at times feel completely helpless. As they navigate life and the challenges this can bring, I find a deeper appreciation for the allies in our lives that can support them and us (mom and me) along this journey. Additionally, the more we focus on their needs it is equally a challenge to remember that there is an "US" in our marriage that exists and we have to nurture it with the same drive and care. It can be a lot, at WLP we seek to walk alongside Families, Couples and Individuals seeking support through life's challenges.

My goal is to create a safe space for self-discovery, but also an active space, a brave space in which we explore new perspectives and frameworks for seeing. I specialize in relationship conflict, stagnation/burnout, depression, anxiety, religious trauma, and those who wish to work with and understand the different parts of themselves through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspective.

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.
