I believe that the therapy process serves to empower clients to discover and work towards a greater well-being. My role as a therapist is to accompany clients on their journey in a way that allows them to safely explore what works for them best. I place my clients’ knowledge and understanding of their own lives first, wishing to work through their own framework. My focus is in Collaborative Therapy, but I am also trained in Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

I'll bet that past therapy you've had has felt like a bunch of crap and a total waste of time, right? So many clients tell me about their negative experiences with past therapists, who "just listened" and "didn't really show me how to make anything better." Well, I don't play that game (you are paying for services, after all, right?). I want you to feel you've actually gotten useful skills to improve your situation. I often work with clients with a range of problems and concerns, although I specialize in work with the LGBTQ+ community. I have extensive experience in individual therapy, couples therapy and group therapy.

There are many reasons to seek the assistance of a professional counselor, but often a person waits until they have hit “rock bottom” and are now facing serious consequences for their behaviors. Perhaps you are dealing with out of control anger, sexual addiction to pornography, or possibly an unfaithful partner. As a result, you're having frequent conflicts at work, lack of trust in relationships, or financial difficulties. If any of this sounds familiar, then the good news is you don't have to continue to struggle alone because I'm here to help !

But what do I specialize in? Helping men feel like they are enough and overcoming their struggles.
Being a man is hard enough. Then, trying to open up to someone and work on your struggles while getting in touch with your emotions and feelings. Talk about a challenge. Not to mention the feeling in the back of your mind that a female therapist is judging you. I get the struggle. As men, we have been conditioned and groomed to be a certain way. It's not that we aren't enough or that we are the enemy. We haven't been shown how to address what's going on in our body and mind. My services are for those wanting a nonjudgmental approach while also being held accountable on their path to an evolving self.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. -Nelson Mandela Sometimes we really want growth, change and/or to just feel better, but we can be scared to take those first steps to making change. Men, in particular men of color, find seeking help as a sign of weakness. I am here to tell you that this is one of the bravest things you could ever do and the rewards are limitless when you face this challenge. Therapy can be scary new waters, but you reading these words now is proof that you have been brave enough to dip your toe in the waters of change- so jump on in- the water is just fine!

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.
