Three of my passions in counseling are journeying alongside
men
as they pursue healing, restoration, and freedom from sexual addiction and codependency; helping engaged and married couples to deepen intimacy, cultivate joy, and navigate conflict; and to come alongside all people who desire internal healing from trauma, abuse, anxiety, and shame.
I believe that even though we are often hurt through relationships, we can also receive healing through relationships. I desire for people to experience the healing power of being vulnerable and real with God and one another (to know and be known). I seek to make my counseling room a safe and inviting place for clients to be able to work towards healing or to acquire the growth they desire in all areas of their life: mental, emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual.

Flexible in approach, I will elicit your inherent resources to obtain the needed internal leverage for change as a solution focused, CBT wired therapist. I urge all to be vulnerable and authentically real in one's examination of self. As you acknowledge all aspects of self, you will gain courage and inner resolve to make heathier choices. With this comes the gentle reminder that needed, true growth often does not come in comfort. I will help you love yourself back to life as
men
and women of intrinsic value, made in God's very image and entirely worthy of your commitment to wholeness. Providence follows when one commits to change!

The first question that a therapist usually asks is "What brings you in today?" This question in itself can be a point of tension. Maybe you don't know where to start, what to say, or what exactly brought you in today. I get it! I think when a person comes to someone else for guidance, that in itself is a very courageous act. Working with clients, I hope to help them better understand what their relationship to the problem is and how we can look at it from a more compassionate, flexible, and accurate vantage point. Co-collaborating with a client in an effort to encourage them to seek answers is one of my main roles as a helper.

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.
