Every person can grow when offered compassion, support, and the opportunity to learn new skills in research-based therapy. To help my clients achieve their goals, I actively evaluate their needs and build each person a scientifically grounded care plan. I support my clients in their growth, whether they want to improve their mental health, make the most of their relationships or professional life, or cope with chronic illness. I am proud to work with people who have diverse backgrounds, life experiences, and personal identities.

My clients and I work to deepen and enrich narratives that promote growth, healing and life preferences, while subverting problems that contribute to a sense of inertia or feeling stuck. Collaboratively, we address relationship issues, emotional pain, personal empowerment, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Our work emphasizes the importance of identifying allies and communities of support.

I have over twenty two years experience working with adults, adolescents, and families in behavioral and community mental health. However, the last twelve years have been the most gratifying as I have had the privilege to practice directly as a mental health therapist. My approach focuses on working collaboratively with clients to find the change, growth, peace of mind, and general sense of well being they seek, as well as to help work through the challenges that life can present.

Our time is valuable and it’s important to me that the client feels that value when ending each session. This is the client’s time to enter the space in a judgement-free, safe, and confidential setting. It’s a place to take a bit of a break from needing to be the one who has the answers in high-stress and intense scenarios. It’s also a space where to take the time - at your own pace - to process through trauma or any other stressors you may be facing. Life can be hard. But we can still find joy, fulfillment, and hope for the future. In order to get there, let’s first talk about it.

You live on an emotional roller coaster. You can't keep friends or a job. Hurting yourself feels better than hurting others. You question whether your life is worth living. Perhaps you diagnosed yourself on the internet or your doctor told you that you need something called "DBT." DBT is what I live and breathe.

If you expect the world to conform to you, you may also expect a lifetime of bitter resentment. No problem is an impairment until you allow yourself to take up the cry of "I cannot, I cannot, I cannot." Some therapists will "support" you in this cry and hold your hand as you walk into hell. I will help turn your heart towards "I can, I will, I am."

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.
