William Arthur Ward once said, "We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them, to climb over them, or to build with them." The passion I carry for the therapeutic process is not only founded on my training and education but also my personal experience. I have faith in one's capacity for growth that comes from the willingness to be honest and courage to face difficult issues. In this life we will encounter many stones in our path. It is up to each individual to choose what they will do with them.

Beginning counseling or job coaching is an important life decision and a clear sign of one’s underlying health and resiliency. I find, more often than not, that people can be helped to release a level of optimism and resiliency that leads them to new, “do-able” goals and choices. All of this reflects a natural foundation of health, even when we experience such common challenges as depression, conflicts at work, fears, ongoing stress or anxiety. Counseling requires some risk-taking. It also takes a willingness to become more self-aware.

You may be suffering from anxiety, depression, lingering events from your past, or dealing with current stressors from family, relationships, work, or life events.

I purposely went back to school for my second master's in social work and mental health, not to spend all my money, but to learn best how to work with the people in my practice. In my 30 plus years, it's rapport, dedication, agreement and hard work and maybe a laugh or two! Working on feeling better is hard work.

My practice is dedicated to the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Transport Agoraphobia with Panic, Fear of Flying and Phobias. I use traditional Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT) together with a new approach, known as Inferential-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), developed for the treatment of OCD specifically. ICBT focuses on a doubting process, where imagined, irrelevant or implausible stories cause you to distrust reality and direct evidence. ICBT is a remarkable "game-changer" in the treatment of OCD and related conditions!

I work with each client to identify sources of distress and dissatisfaction in their lives, and to overcome obstacles to living a healthy and happy life. I begin therapy by gaining a clear understanding of your strengths as well as areas for growth, and building a strong working alliance. Together we identify therapy goals and formulate a plan to achieve them. I combine cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, DBT and humanistic approaches to tailor a unique therapy plan for each individual. My approach involves listening carefully and asking questions to help guide you to greater understanding about yourself and to make the changes that you seek.

I recognize and have a deep respect for the positive impact counseling can have on one's life. Having an impartial third party provide support and help one cope with any number of life's challenges can be invaluable. I believe the best therapists listen without judging and never dismiss or minimize rational or irrational fears as issues that adults "shouldn't" worry about. I practice an eclectic mix of theoretical approaches to empathically help individuals develop personal strengths and improve their self-awareness. My approach is collaborative, supportive, practical, and focuses on personal effectiveness.

Often people who come to therapy have already been struggling for some time: a feeling or way of thinking, relationship concerns, feeling overloaded with work or school, a particular loss or trauma, or just a general sense that something is wrong. You may know what you need, or may be unsure if psychotherapy can help at all. This is where therapy begins. I will work with you to develop a plan of action; if we can't come up with a plan that works for you within our first few meetings, I will connect you with someone who can.

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.
