Are you someone who feels a longing to understand themselves more deeply—to move beyond old patterns and toward balance, healing, and authenticity? Perhaps you may be navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, or the challenges of major life transitions. Often, individuals spend years trying to "figure it out” alone and are ready for a more compassionate, integrated approach. They want to feel whole again, to reconnect with what matters most, and to live with greater self-trust, purpose, and peace. Together, we work to make sense of the stories that have shaped you and to create space for new meaning and possibility to emerge.

My clients often feel like outsiders because of their sexuality, gender identity, relationship structure, or the way they were raised to hide emotion or live up to expectations that never felt true. They may be processing trauma, grief, or a loss of direction. Some feel stuck in conflict, disconnected from partners, or unsure of who they are outside others’ standards. What they want is clarity, connection, and a space to feel fully seen beyond surface-level fixes, so they can create meaningful and lasting change.

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.
