Many people come to EMDR after finding that traditional therapy methods haven’t fully addressed their trauma or the emotional difficulties they face. EMDR can be especially effective for those who are dealing with:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),
Childhood trauma or abuse,
Sexual assault or domestic violence,
Grief and loss,
Anxiety, panic attacks, or phobias, or
Emotional or physical reactions tied to specific memories.
If you find that you’re "stuck" in your trauma or that certain events or memories continue to trigger intense emotional responses, EMDR could offer you the relief that other therapies may not have.

Through the course of a day, we all play multiple roles. Sometimes those roles can become restrictive and rigid, even inauthentic, as anxiety, depression, or shame cause us to feel less and less able to share ourselves honestly with those around us. For some, the trusting relationship created in therapy offers one of the few places where hiding is no longer necessary and one's whole self can be acknowledged without judgment, without shame. Together, we will create an environment conducive to the exploration of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that lends to greater self-understanding, new perspectives, and lasting change.

“It is an ironic habit of human beings to run faster when they have lost their way,” Rollo May observed. This did not make sense to me until I learned the simple practice of deep breathing. This relaxation exercise enabled me to slow down and notice details more carefully - to notice that details tell stories. We are all valuable and have a unique story to tell.

Everyone has days or moments that make us think, "Maybe I should talk to someone about this." It can be hard to look our lives in the face, but if you feel ready to take that first step, I might be a good someone to talk to. The pain that sends us to a therapist can feel unrelenting and unsolvable. The good news is that there are many ways to approach such problems. I am focused on helping you figure out what is really going on and how that affects you, look at what you are already likely doing to get by, and help you figure out even better solutions and relief.

Helping clients navigate the spaces from where they have been, where they are, and where they are going is essential to my work as a licensed mental health counselor. I have taken this approach in my work with clients across a wide range of ages and backgrounds and a variety of settings, including veteran residential facilities and partial hospitalization group therapy programs. Drawing from my own experiences as a veteran, my goal is to help others transition from one stage of life to the next while making meaning of the whole of their lives, and have made that a primary focus to the work I do today.

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.
