What does healing mean for you? That is usually where I start in therapy. I work with the individual in a person centered approach where I collaborate with clients to give them a therapy plan just for them. My clients are the experts of their own life and experience, I approach my role as a therapist as one to empower and help guide my clients as they pursue goals we come up with together. I began working as a therapist in 2019.

I came to Woodhaven with a wealth of life experience in both the arts and human services. Working as a professional musician for many years connected me to some of the most vulnerable populations including the aging, chronically ill and those experiencing grief and sadness. I learned that creativity and healing are intimately linked and you invariably need one to pursue the other. My unique path has given me valuable insight into the human experience, which is something that we all share. I am particularly interested in the innate ability we all have to strive towards hope and healing.

Life is a challenge at the best of times. You try to do everything right; no matter how hard you try, it’s never enough. You constantly feel terrible inside. You think the worst about yourself and never believe others when they compliment or praise you. You constantly worry that they wouldn't want to stick around if they truly knew you and what’s inside. Finding a therapist is hard, especially now with long wait lists or never being called back. Contact me today for a free 15min consultation. I have immediate openings, and we can determine if we are a good match.

Thanks for checking me out. I applaud your efforts to find help whether it's for you or someone you love. Finding someone to work with can be a challenge and I urge you to be picky. Ask questions. There are a lot of us to choose from. If you're not experiencing a therapeutic alliance, keep looking. Your person(s) is out there, Should we meet, evaluating 'helpfulness' is an open and ongoing conversation. My hope is that we would figure out your goals, ways to know if they are being achieved and the best, and most effective, ways to do that. I'm not one to ask, "and how does that make you feel?" Not often, anyway. Ha!

I work with people who are unsure about therapy or who have had a bad experience in the past. My goal is to be the last therapist my clients see. Someone they feel comfortable with, who understands them, who is honest and authentic always, and who helps them develop tools to address and work through mental health issues. Using a mix of evidence-based therapy methods and coaching techniques, I help clients get out of the endless loop of trying to fix what's broken and instead get to work on building a fulfilling life. You'd be shocked at what a difference that simple perspective shift can make.

Everybody struggles. Everybody. This is one of the most important life lessons that I have learned. Many people look around and believe that others do not struggle with things in life. They internalize this and then think there is something wrong with them. Realizing the struggles life brings is what drew me to counseling. Working through my own personal struggles has helped me to develop compassion for those who are currently facing challenges in their lives. I am inspired to be in a profession that can assist others to also regain hope and resolve struggles and symptomatic patterns.

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.
