I specialize working with individuals and couples going through difficult life-transitions and overwhelming stressors that are impacting their quality of life.

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides collaborative support for individuals, couples, and families. To be human is to long for connection, for deep engagement with the present moment, coherence, and to feel a sense of significance. We encounter the vicissitudes of life and suffer in our search for meaning. When pain distances us from our longings we can drift into despair. Whether that pain manifests as depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, grief, shame, obsessions, impulsivity, substance abuse, or in relationship difficulties I am here to listen and to help you move towards what matters most.

One of the most difficult things to do in life is to “begin again.” To do so takes bravery, courage and deep personal honesty. Reaching the end of a road is difficult, but having the strength to gather yourself and step into the unknown takes a special kind of resilience. As someone who has navigated the challenge of starting over, I'm here to offer support, guidance, and encouragement as you embark on your own journey. If you’re looking to “begin again” or simply processing the emotional aftermath of life's setbacks, I might be the one to help guide you along that courageous journey.

Therapy can seem different or intimidating at times, but it doesn’t have to be. My aim is to create a thoughtful connection and help reduce any apprehensions by maintaining a relaxed demeanor, displaying genuine interest, and continually striving for authenticity. The process of therapy can help individuals or couples become unstuck. We all experience patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Gaining insight into these patterns helps us discover where change is necessary. Enacting change is always up to the individual or couple, but my goal is to help you get there to take charge.

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.
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.
