You probably already know at least some of what you wish were different in your life. Often the things we wish were different we have wanted to change for months, years, or even decades. Counseling often has a balanced focus on helping you learn how to cope with present day symptoms while at times looking back to become free from old patterns of responding. Those old patterns that at one time may have been necessary in order to survive, now may be the very thing limiting your ability to thrive and realize your potential.

I help people make sense of life. My background is in the clinical-health/mental health field, and I'm also an ordained minister. That means my background allows me to assist you right where you are, not by any preconceived ideas of what you should or shouldn't be doing. My primary source of counseling is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (or CBT). This is a method of discovering together how the decisions you've made in the past, or the circumstances you've lived through, have brought you to where you are. It's not about blame - it's about helping you to empower yourself to have the life worth living you are seeking.

Have you been feeling stressed, anxious about the future, or hopeless in life? These feelings can rob us of the joy and peace that we could be enjoying today. Life can be messy and at times seem unforgiving. You’re not alone in this. You may not be able to control what happens to you, but you can control how you face obstacles and how you overcome them. You may have difficulties in your relationships at home or the office. Perhaps you’ve lost a loved one, are concerned about your substance use, or simply feel like you’re struggling to make it through the day. If this describes you, it's time to take a step towards feeling better.

If you are a couple looking for help, or if you are an adult struggling with ADHD, then I can help. I work with couples to help them move from feeling unloved, unimportant, lonely, and unheard to connecting and feeling loved, wanted, and heard. I help those with ADHD identify what causes stress and keeps them stuck. Then we work together to find ways to move forward and to address symptoms that get in the way of success and accomplishment. I work with premarital couples to help them identify potential problems and to gain skills to have strong, connected marriages. I am a certified facilitator of the Prepare/Enrich Program.

Throughout my life I have been interested in listening to others as they discuss their struggles and hardships. Helping others in this manner has always come naturally to me, and it is rewarding to be able to serve others in this capacity. I made the determination that I would pursue a career in counseling during my senior year of high school. Since I made that decision, I have done everything in my power to prepare myself to serve others utilizing several tools such as reflective listening, various modalities, and cultural competence.

I specialize in the areas of identity, gender roles, men and masculinity, questions of meaning and purpose in life, and the development of healthy, meaningful relationships.
We all have times in our lives when we’re feeling stuck and our usual ways of dealing with problems aren’t working the way they once did. Maybe you are experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety for no apparent reason, or feelings that “just don’t make sense”. Perhaps you are questioning your relationships, life decisions, or even core aspects of who you are as a person. My approach to psychotherapy involves establishing a collaborative relationship, in which we will work together to understand your life experiences in the context of your life story, relationships, and cultural background.

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.
