I have over 40 years of experience helping children and their parents. I help children who are experiencing emotional or behavioral problems in school, with their peers or with their families. I use a therapeutic approach that combines talk therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and play therapy, in an environment that is safe, nurturing and fun. I meet individually with the parents to instruct them in skills they can use to help their child. A "Positive Parenting" model is used to identify and strengthen the qualities the parents want their child to develop.

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and retired Navy Chief Petty Officer. My passion is providing individual counseling services to adults and teens. Many people face various emotional challenges, wanting solutions for the here and now. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and existential issues can be the biggest culprits. Those problems often stem from the past and may be rooted in generational family dysfunction. As a result, buried feelings, isolation, fear of abandonment, and getting involved in unhealthy relationships become problematic. If you feel stuck and seek relief, I will happily work with you.

They 've tried meds, therapy, substance rehab with little success and feel stuck. Is this you?

I specialize in working with combat veterans, healthcare workers, and first responders. Spending time in high stakes situations—where awful things happen without notice, and errors can have major consequences—often impacts the spirit and the nervous system. If you're having problems with intrusive memories, trouble sleeping, anger, feeling mistrustful and on guard where you used to feel safe, nightmares, anxiety, etc., I can help. There are some hard experiences in life from which we can recover well on our own, and there are others where we are most likely to heal and recover well with skilled emotional/psychological support.

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.
