There is not just one path that leads someone to seeking therapy and with that being said there is not just one type of therapy that works for everyone. I work with clients to help figure out what their needs are and together we figure out the best way to work together. My clients come from a variety of life circumstances and backgrounds and are often in some point of transition in their lives. I try to create a safe space for diversity and personal experiences as I believe they cannot be discounted from how it has shaped them. I work with many folks who identify as LGBTQ+ and those who are neurodiverse.

My aim is to assist you toward effective and functional self-understanding so that you might pursue and achieve the life goals of which you, as a unique person, are most worthy. Harry Truman had on his desk, whatever job he held, these 10 words: "Know right from wrong. Do right. Do your best." I shall always use these words in your service.

I am a therapist, faerie, and musician drawn to therapeutic work by a love of people and our collective journey through life. With a but of humor and a relaxed demeanor, therapy sessions with me often feel like getting together with a trusted friend. As a more feminine man, I use my lived experience to create a space where we can be queer as a $3 bill while being taken seriously and acknowledged for the full people we are. In particular, I intend for the space we create together to be a time without judgements and expectations of the “outside world”, regardless of where they come from.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
