The rest of the world looks at you and thinks you have it all together, but you have been tirelessly juggling all the demands of your family, profession, and life in general and you're exhausted: mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. You're entire life you've been considered the successful one who makes all the right choices and is the person your friends and family look up to. There's no room for failure. You don't feel you have any choices, so you suck it up and keep moving forward. You don't even have time for therapy, even though you know you deserve to work on yourself. You don't have to carry your burdens alone anymore.

Almost all of us fear our anger, but a nearly equal portion fear our love. This is a problem, since almost no one teaches us how to work with these forces or even what they are (let alone how they relate to each other as both separable and intermingling phenomena). Insofar as we fail to understand these basic facts, we remain fragmented and alienated from our own nature. We all love and hate, often in equal measure, by nature.

I am an eternal optimist, and believe strongly in the method of training clients to empower themselves. I practice EMDR for anxiety and trauma processing, and use behavioral therapy for depression. My work includes coaching Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and I believe strongly in helping people develop self-care regimens to prioritize themselves. My focus often includes working to assist people in finding a balance between home, work, family, school, socialization, and physical health. Goal setting is an important component of therapy, so we work together to establish treatment goals that are reasonable and attainable.

I believe every individual is an unfolding story. Each decision we make, both big and small, effects our storyline; As an eclectic therapist, I use many approaches because I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all therapy. Each person has learned beliefs they bring into new relationships. Helping to uncover how those beliefs effect their lives is often key to the source of their problems and being able to decide what works for them.

I started my practice in 1994 with a desire to help people through their difficult situations. As a father my heart goes out to children. I strive to meet people where they are and help them become the best they can be. The majority of my practice is made up of children and teens but I also work with a number of adults and couples. It is important to note not everyone is ready to face their struggles or change their situation. While I would like to help everyone the person must be ready and motivated for therapy to be effective.

We as people are all broken on some level, but we don’t need to stay that way. Depending upon the cards we have been dealt in life, what’s been done to us, and what we’ve done to ourselves, many of us develop fractures in our view of the world. These “fractures” affect how we view ourselves and our relationships. No matter what you are going through at this stage in life, you don’t need to struggle alone. There is hope! Whether you’re dealing with relationship issues, career problems, abuse, anxiety, depression, or self-destructive habits, change is possible. I believe that every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and change!

It's been a long road to get to where things are right now, and each of us have traveled our own way to get here. Where you go from here with therapy is no one else's process but your own, so you should be able to find a therapist that treats you and your needs individually, without judgment or assumptions. Rather than trying to generalize what works based on my experience, I enjoy the process of finding out what works for you and aligns with where you want to go next. If you're here and don't know where to go or how to get there that is okay! Therapy can also be a process of discovery.

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.
