You are invaluable, but it doesn’t always feel that way. It seems you must put on a brave face for everyone, meanwhile, you feel as if you’re cracking under the pressure. Perhaps you’ve been taught to disconnect from your emotions, and it is affecting how you see yourself. Maybe people lack an understanding and appreciation for what it means to be you. You want for more but don’t think that you deserve it or engage in negative self-talk. Perhaps even you’ve made some choices you are not proud of and punish yourself as a result. You wish for a different life but it is difficult to let go of what you have known for so long.

Often times we find reasons to devalue our own needs because acknowledging pain is hard. I encourage you to take this moment to put your happiness and well-being first. People reach out to me when they feel less in control of their lives. When stressful changes in life leave them feeling restless at night; they aren't able to turn off their mind. They often feel on edge, as if they might cry or lose their cool at any moment. It becomes difficult to feel joy from their usual pleasures. When clients sit down with me they want to regain a sense of normalcy and peace.

To me, an ideal client is a person who wants to live a fuller and deeper life through self examination. I believe that sitting and talking issues through with an objective third party can enable a client to see things in a new perspective and achieve more satisfaction in life.

It's hard to know how to choose a counselor. I'm happy to meet for an hour or two at no charge to help you find someone.

I enjoy working with couples, singles who are dating, and people struggling with fatigue. I have much experience with fire service personnel, and some experience with military.

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.
