I have been working as a therapist for over 20 years. I've been teaching at Rutgers since 2007. I'm a recently retired Army veteran and I've been sober since 1995. While I absolutely care about how you think and feel, I help people cut down on their damaging behaviors while increasing their positive behaviors. We work together to identify the negative people in your life and setting boundaries. There is often a lot of laughter in sessions, even in the midst of difficult times. I've been in the news a lot over the years because of my work in the military, substance misuse, government and Rutgers. A simple Google search tells a lot.

Change can be difficult and often takes courage. It’s vital that clients have a safe, confidential space in which to take stock of their history and current challenges. I consider it a privilege and a great responsibility to be given a role supporting this process. For more than 20 years I have supported individuals in identifying and developing their strengths. In the process, clients often expand their perspectives and experience an increased sense of their own competency. So much of our capacity for growth can be possible when we feel heard and supported.

While many of my patients seek support for the effects of heightened stress, I have particular expertise as a licensed addiction counselor, and I have spent many years working with family members so affected. My patients are curious to explore the broad dimensions of their lives and ready to uncover and change destructive patterns. Never a day goes by that I fail to appreciate the privilege I’ve been given to share in this process of change. I am trained in both Gestalt therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Together they fit under the umbrella of Schema Therapy.

I have often had the best success with clients seeking a symptom relief or crisis resolution, in combination with a desire to change lifestyles. Personal growth is more than learning new coping skills, requiring a commitment to self exploration and changing orientations. Breaking old patterns of thought and behavior can be accomplished via changing what we pay attention to,how we treat ourselves and others and broadening our view of the world. I focus on the life directions, passions and strengths of people. I am informed by the belief that we are all unique beings.

People are helped most by considering all aspects of their lives, their strengths as well as the areas giving them problems. Therefore, I will treat you as a whole person, not just as a diagnosis. We will work together to understand how your past is affecting your current situation, and get to the bottom of your issues, for achieving deep, lasting changes. Speaking freely and without inhibitions with your therapist is essential and I work to provide a warm, safe environment for you to do so. I also offer group therapy, which is very effective when combined with individual sessions.

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.
