Be heard. Be seen. Be You. My ultimate goal as a clinician is to consistently provide a nonjudgmental, compassionate, resourceful, constructive, and validating space for clients and their families exploring gender identity, expression, and transition. I am a feminist committed to anti-oppression work, affirming counseling, and advocacy that specifically decenters cisnormativity and uplifts gender diversity.

Through the use of many strategies such as CBT and Talk Therapy, we can build an open space where problem solving can happen.
Anyone who is having any type of experiences that they would like help getting through. Whether it is issues with school, family, or any other life experience. Sometimes we struggle with getting our feelings out there, and in turn struggle with dealing with those problems or feelings. I feel that a start to overcoming anything is by talking it out and putting it all out there so that the problem solving process can begin. A client that wants to take steps towards making things better for themselves provides a starting foundation to starting that process.

Not accepting new clients
The world continues to face so many challenges and apparently locating a mental health practitioner is now one of those challenges! Despite not having openings to accept new therapy clients, I am happy to attempt to offer direction and/or support to anyone floundering through the process.
I grew up in the Capital Region but moved to the west coast to pursue my graduate education and ended up staying for twenty years. Now I am back in the area with an office space in downtown Troy where I offer therapy services and also conduct psychological evaluations and other consultation services. I can conduct online sessions utilizing a HIPPA compliant video platform. Lastly, I do still offer, when possible, a free consultation to answer any questions and/or determine if you feel we would be a good fit.

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. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
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 a male therapist. 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, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. 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.
