Look... I can't compete with all of the psycho-babble that my colleagues are using to get your business. Truthfully, when I try to use those words, I feel like someone out of a cheesy Lifetime movie. So, this is what I can offer you: I will listen to you, I will never judge you, I will laugh with you, I will cry with you, and most importantly, I will use every therapeutic tool at my disposal to help you get through the hard stuff... Because, in the end, it's not about me... it's all about you!

Feeling eager to open up to a complete stranger, vocalizing all of your deepest, most intimate struggles and challenges? Probably not the first choice that comes to mind, but you are not alone. Many of my clients have arrived with similar reservations while facing issues such as depression, anxiety, grief/loss, family dynamics, relationships, life transitions, work conflicts and career exploration. My approach is two-fold, with the first focusing on the interaction between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. The second is to explore how your environment, family, school or social setting influenced your worldly view and actions.

These days, it's understandable to have difficulties with isolation, and having "nothing to do." But are those "difficulties" interfering with your ability to function? Is it preventing you from working as efficiently as you normally do? Have you had difficulty getting or staying motivated? Are you having an issue concentrating or focusing on a task? Parents, are you struggling to keep up with your child's educational performance while managing your own job? Are you having trouble in other areas of life (e.g., substance use, incarceration)? Are you angry/irritable? If you answered yes to any of the above, I can help.

There are many things that get in the way of people living more fulfilled lives. Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, troubled relationships, trauma, and behavior problems can cause tremendous emotional pain for individuals, their families, and friends. As a fully licensed Clinical Psychologist I use my training, experience, empathy, and understanding of how the mind works to help create a safe, nonjudgmental space where a collaborative and therapeutic process can occur. The end result is often a fuller understanding of the origins of emotional distress and a new freedom from unsatisfying patterns of living.

Are you stuck on a hamster wheel? Feeling like you can't get off? We often get trapped in faulty mindsets that limit our perspectives and impair our ability to thrive. But maintaining those mindsets is a choice. Contrary to popular belief, maintaining the status quo - not therapy - is the easy way out. Healing is possible and achievable, but only if you are willing to bring your hurts, longings and dreams to the light.

I think many of us just want to be heard and understood for the most part, and from there maybe we can find some healing and growth. Whether its sadness, anxiety, relational challenges, addiction, lack of motivation, etc., I believe these often stem from some sort of trauma and/or loss of connection with ourselves or others. It can leave us feeling absolutely defeated, hopeless and horribly alone. Where do we go from there, where do we start from? Can we come back in touch with something that feels alive, fulfilling and connective? This is a deeply personal process and I believe the answers are much closer than we sometimes imagine!

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.
