I am committed to providing a safe, culturally sensitive working environment that fosters this exploration.
An exciting moment happens in therapy when a personal challenge is examined from a renewed perspective. In that moment, what once seemed difficult can take on new meaning. It has the potential to become a defining moment that inspires continued change, growth, and healing. Furthering this process is the potential realization that these ideas were already innate and just awaiting connection.

I seek to collaboratively work with you to establish adaptive coping strategies and use a culturally sensitive, trauma- informed approach towards helping you identify and understand difficult feelings you’ve experienced.
Loss is an inevitable and often painful part of life. Whether it be loss of a friendship, relationships, or loved one, the grieving process can be a daunting challenge to navigate. The pain of losing someone or something important to you may at times even feel like it’ll never go away. But, as the body is capable of hurting, so too is it capable of healing.

Anxiety, again, don’t you ever take a break? Of course you don’t. Before work, at work, after work. Intense anxiety is hard. I get it, I’ve been there. It’s difficult to feel like you’re constantly pushing through each day, just trying to survive. Making matters worse, there’s no energy left to actually find a better way to live. If you're honest, sometimes It’s hard to believe that a path out of survival mode exists at all. Facing a challenge like anxiety alone is overwhelming.

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.
