Retirees exploring life after a career, young adults trying to find their way, folks struggling with feelings of depression and anxiety or searching for meaning: these are just some groups I enjoy working with, though life transitions (adolescence into adulthood, college to career, becoming a divorcee, becoming an empty nester, etc.) is really my bread and butter! Nobody is immune to life's difficulties, and everybody faces trials such as stress and anxiety, among many others. The fact that you're reading this means that you've already taken the first step to managing and improving your life.

My ideal client is someone with a listening ear, with the courage to reimagine his/her life. Someone with dreams and a passion to realize them... Or maybe somebody broken and lost. Someone imperfect. Because that's real. That's being human. To quote a British philosopher: "I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts, some superhero, some fairy tale bliss... I want something just like this..."

Individuals recovering from difficulties related to a traumatic brain injury, stroke, depression, anxiety, and individuals having difficulty managing life decisions (relationships, kids, employment) often have one thing in common: they're searching for strength to carry on with the next step in their lives. Some don't know what the next step is, and others know exactly what needs to be done; however, something is in the way. Therapy can help you FIND YOUR WAY.

Life can feel overwhelming at times! Sometimes there are moments when we are blindsided by events that seem beyond our capacity to cope. Other times, we may feel mentally exhausted from carrying a burden for too long. Improving mental and emotional wellness is so important. I specialize in working with adult seeking to better manage stress, anxiety, depression, improve emotion regulation, or process thoughts and feelings related to life transitions, identity, race, and culture.

Making the decision on which therapist to work with is based on many factors. Perhaps the most important factor is finding someone you are comfortable with so they can be of help. My goal in working with clients is to start by establishing a nonjudgmental, yet honest, relationship that is supportive enough to explore topics and gain insight into issues most relevant to them. I have experience working with clients from all backgrounds with a variety of difficulties, including relationship issues, life transitions, depression, identity struggles, anxiety, and grief.

You just aren't able to cope well anymore. Your feelings of depression, bouts of anxiety are getting worse. If you've never done counseling before, the thought of finding a counselor only increases anxiety. If you are searching for a new therapist, you doubt your capacity to start over. ("How will this time be any different?") Your hope for any positive change is waning. Your partner, your family, your work—all of it is less manageable and less meaningful. Even your faith feels lifeless. The coping mechanisms that worked in the past, don't work anymore. Reaching out for help is your Next Right Thing.

If you are feeling lost or like there are burdens in your life that are holding you back from being the person you know that you are. If you can’t seem to cut down on things you know are hurting you. If you feel less connected to work and friends. If you can’t let go of events from the past and feel like you don’t know who you are anymore, there is hope. It is normal for people to lose their way when life is so complicated, but struggle can lead to strength if we use it effectively. Friedrich Nietzsche said, “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” and I would like you find your why to help you regain your life back

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.
