Everybody deserves better tomorrows! I believe that. My professional and relational approach is to “meet people where they are." It’s my motto and what I bring to every session. I want to help people build personal awareness by helping them connect their thoughts, emotions, and physical responses. I enjoy working with individuals and couples to achieve understanding and manage life sensations like anger, anxiety (and its family), depression, communication, and OCD. Walking together, the goal is to learn to overcome the things lying to you, stealing time, and hindering life. I hope to connect soon and to work for better tomorrows!

There is a popular Lao Tsu quote that says, "Knowing others is wisdom, but knowing yourself is enlightenment." Without intentionally reflecting and looking inwards it becomes difficult to stay present and even keeled. Using current evidenced based practices my goal is to help you rediscover yourself and alleviate some of the barriers like (but not limited to) depression, anxiety or intrusive thoughts, substance abuse, family/marital issues and anger problems that are keeping you from truly being present, knowing yourself, and investing fully into meaningful relationships with those around you.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

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.

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 therapists of a specific gender. 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. 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.
