For over a decade, I've supported various clients from different backgrounds and communities. I've firsthand experience with the foster care system and am a member of the LGBTQ+ community. I'm also a giant nerd and love many of the quirky and weird things many people on the fringe of culture hold close to their hearts. I bring a lot of humor into my sessions because sometimes you need to be able to laugh at the dark to take the sting away. I love to work with clients with similar backgrounds or anyone who can look at the brighter side or at least the irony of life in this odd little world.

There are a lot of reasons to seek therapy, and improved relationships can help most all of them. Repetitive patterns from trauma or a diminished connection with a loved one can drain the resiliency and joy from your daily life. It can seem like you're stuck with unmet needs, feeling like you can't get it right, or that you are the only one who cares about the relationship. You ever wonder how people who love each other so much can argue so intensely? I strive to help you move from ineffective dependency to effective dependence.

Wondering what you can expect? I’ll inquire, listen and help you unpack your what’s going on in your life, what works, what doesn’t and the why. Examine and map out where the patterns are (obvious and hidden); identify what keeps you stuck and support you in making the necessary creative steps to get your life and your relationships working much better. I listen empathically and am also very, some say disarmingly, honest. You deserve both.

I use an interactive method in psychotherapy. I am Jungian in theory and bring together all aspects of our experience, including the emotional, physical and spiritual. My ideal clients understand the value of Depth Psychology, even as therapy sessions may be focused on immediate life challenges.

I work with my clients to address a wide range of mental health and life challenges, addressing both problematic patterns of behavior and ways of not being able to show up in life as you would like to. The ultimate goal of therapy is improving functioning in life activities and quality of life, to be able to both experience your emotions and also engage in life undeterred. I use a whole body mind spirit system somatic approach and work within this lens to address your challenges from a character structure perspective.

I work with: men of all ages in adjusting to life transitions and important relationships; men and wo men suffering the effects of trauma; those who are spiritually confused or are experiencing the Dark Night of the Soul.
If life is suffering, as it was said long ago, what is the meaning of both suffering and life? The real secret seems to be that through suffering we transcend suffering. Engaging in our legitimate suffering – manifesting as anxieties and depressions – brings us beyond the narrow egocentric view into a broader compassion and understanding, which is essentially a place of peace. I am not here to heal you but to help guide you to the place of self-healing. I have seen enough of both suffering and self-healing to know whereof I speak. Let's talk about what troubles you and find your unique path to resolution and acceptance.

I have been a good fit for individuals looking for a supportive space to address anxiety and depression, needing movement in developing new coping strategies, seeking a deeper level of wellness and balance, or identity development. I have often found that I work well with those who have found therapy unhelpful in the past and are looking to give it another try. I also recognize that counseling is a different experience for those who identify as ADHD or ASD. The neuro-diverse culture is an area that I have experience in and that I find meaningful to work with.

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.
