What does it mean to be a
man
, and more importantly how does that feel? Together we will unlearn the limiting beliefs that stem from our upbringing and societal narratives, and instead learn how to acknowledge, accept, and deal with the full spectrum of emotions we have. Do you feel you are not properly heard in your relationship by your partner? Do the same troubles keep coming up within your relationship? I assist couples dealing with conflicts within their relationship such as trust, communication, infidelity, and the effects of past traumas surfacing.

Various factors such as heredity, trauma, and environment can lead us into addiction, depression, and anxiety. We are not responsible for things out of our control; however, we can take responsibility for doing what we need to do now to live our lives fully and well. My job as a therapist is to help you find your own path, at your own pace, to a way of living that feels right to you. We all have a spirit that is alive, creative, loving, and intelligent that just needs to be more aware that it can lead us and doesn't have to held back by the burdens we carry around. The safety of a therapist's office can be the place to start.

I'm passionate about adolescents and young adults (ages 12-30ish), understanding that these periods of life can be hard for most of us. If you're a teenager, college student, or young professional who's feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or wrestling with things like identity, self-esteem, or life transitions, I'd love to help. I believe in the strength of young people to work and grow through issues like depression, suicidality, anxiety, transitional issues, academic or social pressures, and more!

My approach is systemic in nature. I recognize that people have an interconnected sense of self. One's physical health affects mental health, which affects emotional health, which affects relational health. These arenas affect each other in an on-going cycle of adaptation and change. In family systems, stress can seem insurmountable. Addictions and other ways of coping create further tension. I have experience with addiction and recovery that informs the ways we will approach these issues together in therapy and create new, healthy ways to function. Healing is often a process of unlearning. We will construct new paths.

Congratulations. You are obviously closer to creating change and healing in your life. So often our depression, anxiety, and relationship problems are correlated to underlying shame and emotional wounds that have become entrenched in our beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and personality styles. As you well know, this healing process can frequently be arduous and frustrating, but I look forward to working with you to develop a meaningful therapy relationship and experience.

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.
