I am accepting new clients (March '24). I specialize in working with adults who have ADHD; adults who experience excess anxiety, worry, or distress; and adult men who may experience common Men's Issues. I help people who feel like their lives are overwhelming or out of control and they are ready to do something to produce change. Together, through active collaboration, we can identify the specific things you would like to change in your life and create achievable goals based on what you can realistically control. This includes practicing new skills to handle stress in your life. I maintain a secular perspective.

I enjoy working with openminded people looking to create better health and wellness by helping them clarify authentic and meaningful health goals and their true motivations, and working back to create daily actions steps doable in their lives today that get results, create habits with joy, and build the wellness they want. We all want to look and feel better, and make daily progress towards our goals. Most of my clients want to move towards their ideal body weight, have more energy for things that matter to them, and feel less stressed out and overwhelmed. They also tend to struggle with motivation to exercise or "eat right".

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.
