Sometimes in life it can be difficult to find your path of growth due to past, current or unforeseen stressors. I like to think of therapy as us having a casual conversation that ebbs and flows based on where you are in that moment. It can seem intimidating but I am here to tell you that you will not go through this journey of growth alone. I want you to reach whatever goals and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible, and experiencing yourself in new ways.

When you call, my office manager will take your identifying information on the phone.
I know that people try to solve problems on their own. But arguments with spouses, relatives, phobias, infidelity, porn addiction, depression, anxiety, temper outbursts, and workaholism can require a trained, neutral third party to help figure out what's going on. I obtained as much training as I could in psychiatry and treatment technique. I have tried to help patients become more aware of themselves, so they can solve their own problems and be done with me and treatment. Confidentiality is critical. You will not see anyone else except me in my office or on zoom. I treat people and consult to other therapists daily.

I enjoy helping individuals find balance by addressing the issues that keep them stuck. Feeling depressed, overwhelmed, anxious and wondering how to work through painful experiences from the past? Sometimes the most important thing you can do is to show up and ask for help. My work is to provide an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere for you to work through your discomfort and create a healing experience. I hold the belief that we are all resilient and have the internal capacity to heal ourselves. An essential element in this effort is the development of a trusting relationship between client and therapist.

Fulfillment, meaning, and purpose are essential components of what I aim to work towards with clients. Collaboratively I work to understand what their vision of a fulfilling and meaningful life looks like, what is in the way, and what can realistically be done. This can take shape in many forms such as recognizing and addressing current patterns of behavior and how they serve the individual while reinforcing behaviors that bring them closer to their ideal self.

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.
