Having worked with adolescents, families, couples, and individuals in a therapeutic environment, I realize there are many challenges that are placed on families and marriages today. I can also recognize the need to be proactive and provide resources that help create a sense of connectedness and skills that can withstand the daily stressors of life.

Sometimes we feel buried, surrounded by walls that we can't break. My aspiration is to help my clients regain the power and hope they have lost, whether that is hope in their mental health, their careers, or battles with addiction. Sometimes we focus so heavily on the problems we are dealing with, we become clouded by nothing but the problem. My strength-based solution-focused approach helps clients learn to take small steps in the right direction to achieve their goals.

I work best with men who struggling with their self-worth, confidence, and motivation in life.
A sense of healing, empowerment, control, and newly found self-confidence are amongst the best feelings that we can experience in life. Stressors, trauma, toxicity, and confusion can take all of those things away from us. We are all capable of losing a sense of hope, meaning, and regulation. We can feel angry, sad, bitter, and lost and sometimes not know exactly why. I do believe everyone has the potential to conquer their demons and if you're in a position where you are ready for change and long term recovery then I would like to be there to support that feeling and offer guidance towards a better life.

Who cares for the care takers? Over the years, working in high-intensity settings myself, I have learned that my true calling is providing therapy to those who care for others - Nurses, Doctors, Medical staff, Counselors, Social Workers, EMTs, Hospice staff, Teachers, Firefighters, Foster parents, 911 dispatchers, and really anyone in a high-stress role that the average person just can't understand. Many have told me that they find sessions with me to be "laid back yet highly effecive". Using telehealth, I have been able to keep my rates low. If you have been skeptical, or if past therapy hasn't worked, then please give me a call.

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.
