If you feel stuck in these patterns and are searching for a way to improve your relationship, you don't have to find the path forward alone. My approach is collaborative and focused on creating lasting change.

Do you feel as if no one listens or understands? Do you feel unsupported? Are you finding it difficult being your ideal self? As Rumi wrote “you are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop.” Everything in life began with a thought, your intention to seek change has already started the process of growth.

If your symptoms are real but your workup keeps coming back clean, you're not imagining it — you're in health psychology territory. Chronic pain, chronic illness, unexplained physical symptoms, the anxiety that never fully switches off, the burnout no vacation erases. I work with adults, couples, and adolescents on all of it — combining somatic approaches, pain reprocessing, and evidence-based care with a real understanding of what happens to the body when it has reached its limit. Fair warning: I'm not what most people expect. Neither are most of my clients. The bigger surprise, for most of them, is that something finally works.

I have worked for 15 years helping others understand themselves in order to find freedom, to live a meaningful life defined by themselves. I special interest in working with men and providing a space to understand themselves. Even if you have had great success in life, many reach a point in which "something" is missing. Whether this is in work, play, or relationships the same patterns that have brought success are often not functional in other aspects of life. I encourage clients to be curious about the areas in which they feel to be lacking and how emotional patterns are often unconsciously driving this process.

Currently accepting patients for Telehealth sessions and remote EMDR. I've been blessed to be able to work in this field for over the last 27 years, 18 as a psychotherapist. Over that time I've been able to work with a myriad amount of problems, ranging from anxiety, depression, substance abuse, ADHD in both adults and children, as well as work with families in distress. I personally take great enjoyment in working with people with anxiety based difficulties and trauma, having had the greatest success with this population.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
