I recognize that our world may cause us harm, whether intentional or unintentional. My hope in our work together is to separate any harm experienced from serving as a defining characteristic of your personhood. In my practice, my goal is to honor and uplift your unique light with the hope that you may grow more comfortable in sharing it with others in this world. We all carry an inner light, though adversity can sometimes dim its unique glow. I believe that our bodies are vessels of deep wisdom and discernment — learning to attune to that wisdom can transform how we live.

We all get to a point where the suffering becomes more than we can handle, and we all have to find ways to cope with it.
My goal is to help relieve people of suffering caused by maladaptive patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving that they have been conditioned to repeat over time. I do this by building a relationship with them, then allowing that relationship to be the template for healthy interactions in life and a realistic perception of themselves and their situation.

For me personally, I find that any client is an ideal client. Every individual has within them their own internal timeline, mechanism, and capacity for change that is inherently correct for them. I do my best to respect this as a clinician. I do ask for an honest accounting of oneself to the best of their ability. If this is successfully reached, then the possibility for healing and moving forward from mental anguish is possible. It is my professional belief that when both the client and the therapist are fully open to the process that the work truly begins.

The focus of my practice is relationship, for couples and individuals, who find themselves stuck in a pattern of hurt and disconnection, unable to shift out. Often repeating a loop: one pushing for connection, one pulling back for air. We start by interrupting that cycle, make sense of it, understand what fuels it and learn to show up differently. Working together, we can learn to communicate clearly, state our needs, and rebuild trust. You can choose to rewrite your relational script for greater joy and connection.

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.
