I am particularly adept at counseling men.
Starting therapy with a psychologist, whether it's your first or your latest time, can be a daunting task. Inviting the right psychologist to help you can be even more difficult. You may be burdened by anxiety, sadness, frustration, anger, or confusion. You may want change, but aren't sure how to achieve it. I have committed my professional life to helping clients heal, hope and grow in a way that is most specific and helpful to them when they need it. Together we will identify life patterns, set goals, and develop skills so you can thrive on your own.

When you have stress or trauma in your life, it can feel overwhelming and life can unravel. Your children are acting out, your teen is being suspended or involved with law enforcement, or your younger child won't stop misbehaving at school. These are all stressful family situations that can feel overwhelming to anyone. My passion is to bring healing to people who have been through traumatic or stressful experiences.

People come to me for many reasons. For some, they are overall doing well in their life, but feel that there's something going on inside that's keeping them from reaching their full potential and finding true happiness and fulfillment. Others are actively experiencing challenges in their life and are open to receiving support, while still others are in real pain, and are looking for relief and help with that.

I specialize in supporting successful professionals (particularly those in the helping and creative fields) navigating cycles of worry, perfectionism, and prioritizing others over themselves. Many of my clients deeply value harmony and connection, yet struggle to balance these with their own well-being. Together, we work to ease self-doubt, foster self-compassion, and embrace authenticity, aiming for greater ease and joy in their journey while honoring their personal needs and aspirations.

Among my areas of specialization is an abiding interest in working with men, many of whom find it difficult to sit with their feelings.
Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults, adolescents, and couples explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.

Hello! I'm here to help. Helping people through tough times is what I have done my whole life and I can help you too. I worked as a night shift crisis therapist seeing people in the middle of the night that were thinking about their past traumas and wanting to harm themselves or others. I also worked as a community health worker that did outreach counseling to people that were without homes. I also worked as a courthouse advocate for domestic violence survivors to understand and cope with the difficult legal process on their path to getting justice.

I believe most people want the same things deep down. We want to feel safe, loved, understood, and fulfilled. Unfortunately, many of us have gone without these most basic needs. While we have found ways to survive, we are left with painful scars and wanting more. I believe 'more' is your right. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, mindful space dedicated to you. I believe we all know what is best for ourselves; my goal is not to tell you what that is but rather to empower and support you along the way.

"It is my belief that the purpose of therapy is to provide a loving, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space; allowing for the full exploration of all aspects of one's Self. With the goal of helping that person come to better accept their humanity; and within that acceptance, open pathways for healing and growth."

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.
