The idea of looking in the mirror has been difficult lately and you are contemplating whether or not you can/want to put forth the effort in making change! I understand this conviction inside and out. In sessions, I specifically address trauma, addiction, neurodivergence, mood disorders, grief, self-esteem, and relationship issues. Specializing in addiction and being in practice for 17 years, I am well-equipped to work with clients who have co-occurring diagnoses (mental health illness and addiction). My approach is warm, practical, and focused on helping you become more introspective, expressive, and action-oriented.

You feel lost. Entirely alone in your struggles, like no one can understand what you’re going through. You desperately wish you had a better handle on things and feel like a failure for your shortcomings. But this problem isn’t unique. The experience is so common that there are memes about it. Everyone struggles; it’s perfectly normal. Of course, knowing that doesn’t make those thoughts and feelings go away. But that’s where we come in.

Being a therapist is my second career. I know what it means to search to find a life that feels more meaningful. I have a master’s degree in counseling, completed a year-long immersion in narrative therapy, and have recently finished coursework for a PhD in social work focused on psychodynamic theory from ICSW. My psychodynamic training means I have experience in listening in a particular way. Gaining insight means learning to listen to ourselves in a deeper, more curious, and open way. Currently, I am studying the impact of dating apps on relationships for my dissertation. I understand that modern dating can feel like a landmine.

To the world, you are high-achieving, but internally you may feel like you're barely staying afloat. You're likely here because racing thoughts, irritability, reactivity, or 'numbing' with substances have stopped working. Whether it's the pressure to be perfect, feeling like an imposter, the weight of self-doubt, fear of failure, or the architecture of drift in your marriage, these struggles are interwoven and rarely simple. After 30 years, I know that sucking it up is not a strategy - it's just a delay. I provide a high-discretion, peer-level alliance where you can finally stop performing and become a better version of yourself.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
