The most rewarding sessions can emerge from intimate, yet difficult, conversations. When I meet with clients, I hope to nurture a safe, warm, and affirming environment, while inviting curiosity and collaboration throughout the therapeutic journey.

When your child is struggling, it's easy to focus on the behavior. I like to start with a different question: What is this behavior trying to tell us? Whether it's anxiety, trauma, emotional outbursts, shutting down, or the challenges of navigating the world as a neurodivergent child, I believe behavior makes sense when we understand the story behind it. My goal isn't to "fix" your child—it's to help them feel understood while building the skills they need to thrive. I work with children, teens, young adults, and families to create a space where clients feel safe, accepted, and empowered to move toward the life they want.

Welcome - I have been providing behavioral health services since 2013 and work with couples, adults, and older adolescents who want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck.

Through psychodynamic therapy, we explore how past experiences influence the present while developing greater insight, healthier relationships, and more intentional ways of moving forward. The most commonly used interventions in my practice include EMDR, CBT and ACT.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of your next step. You might be carrying more than you let on trying to manage mental equilibrium. My role is to offer a calm, steady space where you can slow down, and begin to move forward with clarity and confidence. When life gets out of control I have found that "anger" develops for good or bad to get back the control. Anger managed properly restores our equilibrium. Anger out of control is unconscously creating a "sludge fund" that makes us ill. We will work together on that and and use other modalities to bring depth-oriented insight and good health.

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.
