I take a holistic approach to counseling. I pay attention to what’s happening in your life on the outside, as well as what you’re feeling and thinking on the inside, and how these two “worlds” impact each other.

Do you experience depression, anxiety, adhd, cptsd, relationship issues, gender dysphoria, questions about sexual identity, academic/work concerns, family issues, and/or stressful life circumstances? My clients are coping with the same concerns and have found working with me to be an invaluable support. My approach works from the belief that current symptoms are often related to previous experiences, and that developing new understandings of those experiences are the keys to lasting relief. I believe that healing happens not just by telling your story, but also, through the sense that you've been heard, felt, and understood.

People often come to therapy when stress, anxiety, or life changes begin affecting their relationships, work, or family life. I work with children (6+), adults, and families who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or out of balance. Many are used to handling things on their own until it stops working. Together, we focus on making sense of what’s happening and finding practical ways to move forward.

Life can be hard. Young people face a number of challenges-- family stresses, anxiety about growing older and separating from parents, peer pressure, the lure of substances. As adults, we also face painful stressors-- divorce, for example, losses, aging. We can become stuck, overwhelmed, and confused.
In my work with adolescents and adults, I offer an engaged, intensive approach that will allow us to understand how longstanding dysfunctional patterns and beliefs affect your daily life. Specialized training and decades of experience have taught me that the better we understand ourselves, the better we can handle challenges and implement adaptive solutions.

You appear successful on the outside. You handle responsibility, think things through, and show up for the people in your life. But internally, you may feel stuck.
Maybe you are overthinking your relationship and cannot decide whether to stay or leave. Maybe you have achieved career milestones but still feel restless or dissatisfied. Maybe you find yourself stuck in rumination, replaying conversations, or questioning whether you are truly fulfilled.

I'm passionate about healthy conflict in relationships. Many of my clients have been married several years, and they care deeply about each other, but they just don't have a level playing field to hash out differences. This ultimately damages the relationship, as partners need to be able to kindly, respectfully discuss challenges in order to create better alternatives. Using handouts, exercises, and whiteboard sketches, I'll help you develop the tools you need to confidently address relational differences and co-create solutions.

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.
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 therapists of a specific gender. 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. 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.
