You might be feeling weighed down by stress, anxiety, or low mood—or maybe you’re simply not feeling like yourself and aren’t sure why. Some of my clients have explored therapy or medications before, while others are reaching out for mental health care for the first time. Whether you’re navigating life changes, burnout, or emotional overwhelm, you deserve care that meets you where you are. My ideal client is anyone seeking clarity, healing, and a more balanced sense of well-being.

Addressing mental health is essential because it impacts all aspects of our lives, from our relationships and work performance to our physical health and overall sense of fulfillment. When mental health issues go untreated, they can worsen and lead to more serious problems like substance abuse, self-harm, or even suicidal thoughts. Seeking help early allows individuals to manage these challenges before they escalate, enhancing their ability to cope with life's difficulties and fostering long-term well-being.

I am a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst with 37 years of clinical experience. I try my best to help my patients feel and function better, plus understand how their backstories help to create both their psychological strengths and their emotional difficulties. We humans live complicated and often very stressful lives. The solutions we originally used to cope with our special problems in childhood often follow us into adulthood and may contribute to the development of problems in our adult lives, even though we may not consciously see the connection. Learning new and better solutions can help us live happier and healthier lives.

Male Psychiatrists

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.

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 therapists of a specific gender. 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. 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.
