My ideal client is someone feeling that heavy weight of anxiety, depression, or overwhelming stress from a recent life change. Maybe they're a teen struggling with ADHD or impulse control, or an adult navigating a tough transition. What they really need is to feel understood, supported, and hopeful again. They want more than just coping; they want to feel stable, confident, and genuinely happy. They seek peace, clarity, and the tools to manage their emotions, because they are ready to invest in their own well-being and finally feel like themselves again.

I have been a Family Practice M.D. for the last 45 years. Throughout that time, I have always been interested most in Mental Health. In the last 10 years working as a gerontologist and Family Physician,I realized that caring for Mental Health was really more than a field of strong interest; but had become the area where I really wanted to serve. My passion to serve for the last five years. has evolved into starting a private practice devoted only to Mental Heath issues. My goal is to provide care to anyone regardless of insurance or financial status.

When your mood feels unpredictable or flatlined, it can be hard to trust yourself, your thoughts, or even your own sense of reality. Depression and mood disorders can cloud your motivation, shift how you connect with others, and make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. And when living with schizophrenia, the struggle often goes beyond symptoms—it’s about navigating a world that doesn’t always understand what you’re going through. You may feel exhausted from trying to appear “okay” on the outside while managing chaos or confusion within.

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.
