Struggling to overcome life's twists and turns?
I have been practicing for over 15 years in a range of treatment settings from inpatient work at the State Hospital to community group therapy to my current private practice. I primarily work with clients 13 years old and up, but I will also see children as young as eight years old who are dealing with sexual deviance issues. I have years of experience treating people with a whole host of mental health diagnoses. I approach treatment from a strengths perspective and use evidence-based strategies, and work collaboratively to set goals to meet your needs.

My ideal client would be someone who has a drive to work on themselves who may be struggling with the unknown. They may need someone in the passenger seat to comfort them while they are dealing with new or existing problem that need to be navigated. Their goal should be focused on embracing the uncomfortable and to accept the uncomfortableness when they are ready and allow me to walk with them while doing it.

Navigating life isn’t easy. Add being bombarded by anxiety, the effects of trauma, a crazy life transition, or those awful depressive symptoms. Now it feels impossible, right? That’s how I felt at least. Thankfully, I was wrong! As a teenager and adult, therapy has led me down a beautiful path of healing and happiness. It's my belief that you deserve the same. You deserve an abundant life of joy, stability, and adventure, and I’d love nothing more than to help you get there.

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.
