Many people who seek mental health services struggle to find a clinician who is both personable and effective. The most important factor in therapeutic success is the therapeutic relationship. I am not the right fit for everyone, but finding the right professional is key. My work includes working with difficult to treat individuals as well as those who have experienced previous treatment failures. I am also a forensic psychologist and conduct evaluations of individuals involved with the legal system and often provide expert testimony. If you think I might be able to help you achieve your therapeutic goals, please contact me.

Together, we explore where you are now, tend to the wounds you carry with you, and develop skills to manage your nerves as you move forward.
“How did I end up here?” Maybe you’re starting over — a new town, the end of a relationship, or a desire for something more from life. Maybe you feel too burned out to take another step forward. Or maybe you feel like life is heading in reverse. Having lived in multiple cities across the U.S. and Europe, I know how overwhelming it is to navigate major, sudden, or unforeseen life transitions. These changes can make you feel lost or lonely. You may question your belief system, your choices, or your very self.

It involves accepting how unique we can be as hu man beings, and that though everyone's needs differ, a life worth living is in reach for everyone.
To me, a counseling relationship is one that allows a person to clearly see the very best within themselves, enabling them to work towards being and becoming all they can be. Part of this might involve developing an understanding of where our wounds have come from, how we might tend to them, and how they are incremental in giving us an awareness into who we are and what we aren't.

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.
