The experiences throughout our lives help to shape and mold us. At times, the stories we tell ourselves keep us shackled to the limiting beliefs we become anchored to. Engaging in a safe and empathetic conversation can help in uncovering the root of these unhealthy beliefs/habits and propel you forward with better meaning and understanding as you embark on a more hopeful path. This journey need not be traveled alone and through counseling, can be effective in remapping your life and how you perceive it.

Everyone is faced with obstacles at some point in their lives. Sometimes these challenges bring up different emotions or you feel “stuck” and you find yourself having a difficult time processing them. They may even be affecting your work/school, relationship, family, or day-to-day activities. I provide a safe space to work through these challenges. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort where we work together to navigate through difficult emotions, patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to problems, and any obstacles in the way of change for the better.

A motivating force for me in counseling is my discovery that we experience a normal response to abnormal conditions and these normal responses may not serve us in future experiences. In my six decades I’ve learned that Life happens for us not to us. This led me to my new path of counseling and service to others. My personal approach is that of compassion, unconditional acceptance, wisdom, and desire to learn more. My clinical focus areas are in addiction/recovery/relapse, complex trauma, LGBTQIA issues, religious trauma, narcissistic abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, and thriving in life.

I see couples, individuals, and families and specialize in couple's communication, conflict, and families living with addiction/codependency. Additionally, I work with individuals living with symptoms of unhappiness, worry, and grief. In therapy, I help my clients identify underlying patterns that cause distress and then use their strengths to create new experiences that facilitate growth, understanding, and fulfillment.

Do you have stress and anxiety related to a pending divorce, infidelity, pornography addiction, drugs/alcohol, or violence? Often these "adult" issues become problematic in households where children are involved. Are your children caught in the middle? Poor grades and oppositional/defiant behaviors can result from differing parenting styles or other conflicts between adults in the home. I understand the difficulty of seeking help in situations where feelings of embarrassment, guilt, anger, fear, or shame are involved, and assist my clients in resolving them.

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.
