Welcome! I am accepting new clients and specialize in couples and marriage counseling. I have guided many couples through the painful aftermath of betrayal trauma, witnessing remarkable transformations through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as they rebuild trust and connection. In our sessions, we create a safe space where both partners can express their deepest hurts without judgment, helping the injured partner articulate their needs while supporting the partner who caused harm in developing genuine accountability. What I find most inspiring about this work is watching couples rediscover their deep care for one another.

I work with children, teens, and adults who feel stuck—especially when the same issues keep coming back despite real effort to change them. This often shows up as anxiety, irritability, behavioral challenges, or ongoing stress in relationships or at home. I have particular experience working with men navigating stress, anger, and relationship challenges, while working with people of all backgrounds. Many people I see have tried to handle things on their own or in prior therapy, but the patterns haven’t changed. We focus on identifying what’s maintaining the problem and making practical changes that actually carry into daily life.

My ideal client is a person who’s done everything “right” on the outside but quietly feels disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of who he is anymore. They are not looking to be fixed they're looking to feel real. They want clarity without shame, strength without performance, and space to name what’s true without being judged. They're ready to face what’s underneath the patterns, not to collapse—but to come home to themselves.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
