I have always enjoyed getting to know the depths of what is going on inside of people. My favorite clients have been hurt and have kept masks on for a while. Their intuition tells them that coming to life means revealing their truth and becoming present with what's going on inside of them. My therapy is not designed to be a one size fits all and I appreciate those who are motivated to grow, even if they're not sure exactly the direction. I enjoy working with anyone overcoming trauma and anyone looking for a big permanent change in their life. I also provide supervision for therapists in training.

As wonderful as life can be, we all experience hardship from time to time. Trauma, loss, rejection, abandonment, & failure. No one makes it through life unscathed. It's so important to understand these experiences organically create emotions like fear, sadness, anger & frustration. Your feelings aren't pathological, they're human. Unexpressed emotions eventually become toxic to us. Hiding them or attempting to avoid them altogether causes episodes of sadness or worry, addictive or compulsive behaviors, or a pervasive sense of detachment from our lives. It doesn't make you ungrateful or negative to talk about it!

A lack of meaning and fulfillment leaves us feeling lost, defeated, and unsatisfied. You feel like there’s some kind of wall between you and the life you want, but you can’t find a ladder and you’re not even sure what’s on the other side. Life seems aimless, empty, or small. You wonder whether the stories of people you look up to are just a bunch of fairy tales. You desperately crave a better sense of what you’re about, where you came from, where you’re going, and why it all matters.

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.
