We all go through stresses in life that can overwhelm our ability to cope. Finding the right therapist for you can be a difficult and challenging task, particularly at a time of high stress. You need to be certain that the counselor you choose has the ability to help you meet your goals at a time when you are perhaps the most vulnerable. As an experienced therapist with over 20 years of experience I strive to help those I work with meet their goals by helping them build on their strengths in a caring, non-judgmental environment.

Research has shown that people don't learn from people they don't like. Effective therapy evolves if the person seeking help likes the helper and experiences the helper as empathic, humble, competent, humorous and caring. Therapy is a respectful, mutually active endeavor between the helper and the patient in which the client feels comfortable, safe, and confident. Constructive therapy gives clients hope: that they will experience increasing well-being; that they will enhance their quality of life; that their social relationships will improve; and they will feel greater congruence between their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

I bring responsiveness, curiosity, and warmth to my therapeutic work with adults of all ages, adolescents, and children. Clients work with me around issues relating to anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and/or grief. I am committed to seeing the individual as inextricable from their context, which means that I believe that a person’s social, economic, historical and cultural experiences are integral to who they are. I work to create a therapeutic space that attends to the here-and-now relationship as well as somatic feelings as sources of information and sites of transformation.

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.
