Whether we are aware of it or not, we are all meant to be in connected relationship. A part of the therapeutic journey is to identify and process the painful experiences that have left us feeling disconnected and isolated.

In over 40 years of experience I've learned to quickly help people gain a clear understanding of the problems they present, providing understandable recommendations for therapy. I work with couples struggling in their relationships, adolescents and their families, and with individuals facing ongoing pressures from work, relationships, and internal distress. Much of my experience is in helping people recover from trauma, such as war experiences, physical and emotional abuse, losses and changes due to aging and to life threatening medical or physical conditions.

A quote that has always brought me courage, "Into the Great Perhaps," moves us to embrace the unknown. It's an invitation to dream and a challenge to have the courage to step into uncertainty. This concept deeply resonates with my therapeutic approach. I emphasize that embracing uncertainty is where growth and transformation occur. In therapy, we'll explore the uncharted territories of your thoughts, emotions, and relationships and view life's challenges as opportunities for personal growth.

My therapeutic approach focuses very much on the here-and-now. While events in your past certainly played some role in your present distress, the past can not be changed. I believe the primary goal of psychotherapy is to teach you the tools you need to change the current patterns that are causing you problems.
I also have special training and experience working with children and adolescents. While the techniques used with youths are obviously different from those used with adults, the goal remains the same: to provide the tools that will bring about positive change.

As a psychologist, I aim to aid my clients in achieving their goals. I can help clients identify factors that may be challenging their successes in life and causing distress. Often clients cannot really identify the origins of the problem. This is where I work with the client to understand their past, build a healthy personal narrative of themselves and encourage positive thinking and behaviors to support a healthy mindset in the future.

Providing compassionate, culturally competent counseling to first responders and their families. As a retired third-generation firefighter from California, the fire service was a calling for me, and it became a fulfilling career and a wonderful life. However, as I progressed in my career, I witnessed firsthand the pain and suffering that many of my colleagues endured from exposure to workplace trauma as well as the physical demands of the profession. With the second half of my life, I wanted to make a difference by helping first responders live their best lives and support those who risk their lives to protect our communities.

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.
