For the last 12 years I've enjoyed working in the non-profit sector helping people from various backgrounds. My therapy style is non-judgmental and relaxed in which I try to meet people where they are at. I help people address a number of concerns ranging from enhancing their self-esteem and coping skills to treating Trauma, Anxiety, Grief, and severe Depression. I'm experienced with helping adults communicate with other generations within their family and gaining healthier relationships. Over the years I've also fostered skills designed for helping men and women address a variety of challenges.

Are you often feeling misunderstood, worried, stressed, down, angry, upset, disconnected? Do you find that your relationships can feel challenging? Are you stuck dwelling on the past? Finding yourself repeating unhealthy habits? Having trouble navigating life’s twists and turns? If any of this rings true, you’re not alone. If you find that your emotions are becoming hard to manage and you need a professional to talk to, I’m glad that you are taking the first step with seeking therapy.

Have you finished other therapies (by 'graduating,' leaving, or 'failing out'), without lasting change? Have you never felt safe to remove your masks even in therapy, or you can't tell the difference between you and the masks? Have you struggled to experience another person truly understanding you, or even genuinely making the effort? These experiences may involve questions about sense of self and identity (including personality), which many therapies do not meaningfully understand or address. They often come out as depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns, but with a different root cause. And missing the cause keeps us stuck.

Have the people around you told you that you need therapy? Are you experiencing a life transition? Have you been wondering if you're in the right relationship or have been considering cheating? Would you like a better understanding of why you make the choices you do? I work with individuals around life transitions and feelings of being stuck. I specialize in working with men around the transition to parenthood and other parenting related stressors such as infertility and miscarriage but have extensive experience with individuals of many different populations.

We often know where we are stuck and what is causing distress — but not how to go about fixing it. My job is to help you get where you are trying to go, to help you figure out what's getting in the way and to help you connect the dots and see the bigger context. People work in therapy in different ways so there is no one formula for everyone. In general, I am interactive, thoughtful, solution focused and believe in people who are working on themselves.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
