Navigating the world today can be extremely challenging and overwhelming. It’s so common to experience frustration, anger, and shame as a result of the day to day challenges that come from just simply being human. Throw in substance abuse, gender or sexual identity challenges, or relationship issues, and it's easy to feel consumed by it all with no idea of where to turn. As a therapist, I am passionate about having a space where any and all can come to seek refuge. I specialize in working with substance abuse issues, sexual dysfunction, LGBTQ+ matters, polyamorous couples, infidelity, and life transitions.

I offer professional counseling services to males aged 10-60+ who deal with anger issues, healthy relationships, effective communication, assertiveness, self-confidence, career counseling, substance dependency, grief and trauma, depression and behavioral issues from a distinctly male perspective and viewpoint.
It's not very often that males are encouraged to seek help when dealing with the challenges of life. As a result, we resort to age-old adages that tell us to ignore the pain, 'man up', and soldier through it. But the fact of the matter is that we feel, we suffer, and we hurt and it has nothing to do with being a man and everything to do with being a human being. Men want healthy relationships, we want to be happy, we want to feel in control of our lives and be fulfilled. Taking the step towards mental health is an integral part of this process.

Recovery is not just for substance addictions.
I enjoy working with a wide range of people and have a special interest in working with adults struggling with big changes in their lives or learning how to start and maintain healthy relationships. I love working with people who want to learn new ways of managing their emotions instead of relying on numbing or avoidance. Life is hard, and it's even more difficult when you don't allow yourself to feel the full range of your emotions or express them in a healthy way.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
