If I had to Identify myself in terms of theoretical leaning, I would say that I am an Existential Humanist.
In my personal and professional experience a person comes to therapy when they find that their beliefs/operating systems are no longer working for them; that the very tools that they have been employing to protect themselves are now preventing them from having and experiencing the things that they want the most. Entering therapy is a courageous step that is prompted by the inner warrior. It is a step and a process that demands energy and perseverance. If and when you are feeling ready to take this step, give me a call and we can determine whether or not we are a fit. I think that you will find me to be a valuable co-explorer.

No matter the changing weather of your soul, no matter the pain, fear, and stuckness, there is, perhaps, no better thing than to be curious about yourself, and motivated to step outside your own box. You are far more than a collection of problems; you LIVE, and your life has intertwined with those of many others, helping create both. Lean in, explore...in the process, you will become more truly yourself. Become more creative, freer to love, and in touch with what matters to you. I'll help make therapy a different, positive kind of relationship, in which you can discover and apply your personal truth to a better life.

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.
