Reaching out for help is the first step, and I do believe I can help you work on your present concerns and achieve the change you seek. I offer a range of approaches and treatments towards care, which I have gained from over 25 years of counseling. I'm very open to hearing what each individual's concern is first and then providing possible interventions. For me, it's a collaborative process, but at the same time, I can offer objective ways to approach their concern. Fundamentally, this is also guided by my background and training in multiple evidence-based approaches.

I work with adults who are ready to invest in themselves—to heal from trauma, navigate identity transitions, and reconnect with meaning. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of inner conflict: when old roles no longer fit, when relationships or careers lose their sense of purpose, or when anxiety, depression, or emptiness signal that something within is asking to be seen.

I am a psychotherapist who works from a relational psychodynamic perspective; I collaborate with clients to explore and narrate who, how, and why you are - aiming for a richer experience of your life.

My style is authentic, warm, and accepting, which helps provide a space where you can become comfortable to eventually venture into the deeply uncomfortable to enable growth and change.

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.
