In our work together, you will learn how to relate to yourself and the painful realities of life skillfully. To begin, I'll support you in slowly turning attention inward while remaining grounded and open. From this connected space, we'll inquire into the thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and sensations that color your experience of life. Naturally, unresolved trauma and unacknowledged grief will call attention to themselves. We'll meet them together, with genuine curiosity and compassion. Insights emerge both spontaneously and gradually when relating in this way and 'the work' begins to feel more authentic, enjoyable, and healing.

My ideal client is someone that is willing and wanting to transform their life. The greatest piece of artwork a person can create is an empowered, successful life. I have a large background with mental health and also working with adolescents and understanding how that stage of life can be very challenging. No one is immune to having things completely shake up their life, but in having support that empowers them to find their way and regain mastery in creating the life they want, that transformation is extremely possible.

There's a major "hazard" of being human: The people we love most are the people best suited to hurt us. Every relationship has its ups and downs, but too many "down" days can lead to feelings of disconnect, neutrality, resentment, or even anger. To combat this, couples get into behavioral patterns that are comfortable and predictable, even if not fulfilling. Everyone deserves to have the skills necessary for breaking out of these patterns, but most people don't recognize the patterns at all.

Do you want to learn how to express your feelings more effectively to your partner to strengthen your relationship? Are you a man who sees the value of getting in touch with your emotions but doesn't know where to start? Do the coping mechanisms you use right now to deal with stress feel ineffective? I help men get in touch with and understand their emotions on a deeper level. In my experience as a men's therapist, I have found that when men take the time to learn how to connect to their feelings it helps them show up as their best selves in the roles they play in life. This includes being a better partner, father, and employee

I derive deep satisfaction from helping individuals in their journey toward healing, particularly following life's trials. Life is an unpredictable journey, blending joyous moments and painful experiences. There are instances when the accumulation of these difficulties can lead to feelings of uncertainty, insecurity, and unfulfillment. It's a universal experience sometimes to lose our sense of stability. I am well-acquainted with themes such as death, trauma, bereavement, terminal illness, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and combat. I love working with people who intuitively know something is misaligned and are willing to entrust.

Life can be overwhelming, and Western culture does not readily offer the tools to help us navigate the impact. We end up carrying stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression in our bodies, and if the the cycle continues, we can end up burnt out. In the confusion, we may turn toward substances, behaviors, and other strategies to cope, which ultimately leave us more burdened than before. As hopeless as things can seem, there are always opportunities to change your inner and outer patterns. Over time, these small changes can redirect your life toward alignment, fulfillment, and ease grounded in the present moment.

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.
