Some people go through life believing they know what they want and yet find a deep sense of dissatisfaction when they get it. Others self-sabotage and seem to keep a safe distance from their conscious goals. Naturally there are no quick fixes to challenges like these, but psychoanalytic work offers the possibility of taking the whole person into account. In order to do this I remain invested in the full complexity of each individual and I avoid reducing patients to a symptom or a diagnosis. With time, hard work, and an unprejudiced space to speak, new perspectives are possible, as are new relationships with self and with others.

You may appear high-functioning on the outside while struggling internally with distraction, shame, self-criticism, or difficulty feeling fully authentic and confident. You might feel stuck in patterns that are hard to break, such as anxiety, depression, chronic stress, rumination, or unwanted habits. Or you may be facing something more specific, like social anxiety, compulsive behaviors, or unwanted porn use. You’re looking for meaningful and lasting change rather than surface-level coping, and you value depth, collaboration, and therapy that engages your inner resources to support genuine transformation.

Life is an amazing journey ... but it can be hard, and present challenges that leave us feeling vulnerable, uncertain and off-balance (not ourselves). Life/Work Psychotherapy was created to give adults a safe space to talk about relationship + work issues, and the painful feelings that go along with them. With over 30 years of experience, I take a collaborative approach to exploring options for greater satisfaction, success and peace of mind. I acknowledge how unique our lived experiences are, and seek to understand every individual in the context of these experiences.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
