It is important to provide a supportive, attuned presence to help my patients work through the struggles, problems, and difficulties that have brought them into treatment. I build a relationship of trust with my patients in order to help them feel the support and care I have for them. I believe that diligent exploration of a patient's negative emotions and problematic relationships leads to healing. Through the use of simple challenges, highlighting of interpersonal and emotional patterns, encouragement, and honest feedback, my objective is to help the patient feel the love and support needed to heal and change.

Do you want to feel more at home in your own skin? Do you wonder why you haven't already "figured things out"? Do behaviors and beliefs that once helped you survive now keep you from authentically relating with others? Does your gut tell you there is another way of being, but you just can't seem to get there? Whatever your aspiration or longing, being a person isn't easy and transformation can feel daunting. Having struggled with these questions myself, it would be my honor to accompany you on your path. My approach is informed by a therapy model called AEDP, which seeks to undo aloneness and draw upon your innate healing capacity.

If you find yourself preparing and bracing for that offensive comment; you regulate your speech, dress, and actions to fit in or be safe; or you navigate how much of your experiences to share for fear that you won’t be heard, or that your story will show different your reality is from others—then I want you to know that you’re not crazy, and you don’t have to go it alone. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who knows what it’s like to be immersed in spaces that don’t culturally or racially reflect me, my identity, or my values. And to live in spaces that reject me as I live into my full identity as a black man, a person of color.

I have a 25yr career of working with families, children, and adults. I am interested in finding the connection between an individual's history and patterns from their history that continue to interfere with that person's current life. This is a process of co-exploration. Its aim is to make changes to those behaviors that are agreed to be the focus from the beginning of treatment. I draw on the most current thinking about the impact of developmental stress or developmental trauma to guide my practice with adults and especially with understanding the connection between children and their caretakers.

You don't feel like the man that you used to be. It was once different. Life felt a little easier. You were more sure of the path you were on. But now, you are questioning what you are doing with your life. You feel generally overwhelmed and exhausted, though you sleep like shit. That voice in your head just never shuts up. It feels like it plays on a continuous loop predicting every worst-case scenario imaginable. You try deep breathing and telling yourself that whatever you are worrying about is no big deal, but that does not change the fact that you feel so fucking stressed and anxious. Time is ticking and something has to give.

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.
