We all find ourselves at points in life when our capacity to cope is just not enough for the difficulties that face us. Problems fall on a continuum from a little to a lot, and when they begin to negatively impact our ability to function in important life areas, such as decision making, it helps to have an impartial, nonjudgemental person to confide in. To paraphrase Dante "In the middle of this journey we call life I found myself in the middle of a dark wood with no clear path." Sometimes it to helps to have a guide with a light.

It is one of life’s greatest honors to come along-side people who are seeking personal growth, adjusting to life changes, or working through life’s difficulties.

I integrate a person-centered perspective with Cognitive Behavioral and Choice Theory in our work. Our work together may take many steps. Just stepping out to someone may be a first step in addressing life’s concerns. Another step may be moving into willingness then to action. Other steps may include self discovery, or celebrating or adjusting to life changes.

There is a whole array of diagnosis out there and people face problems daily and I don't think it is our job as clinicians to fix these issues but be a light in the dark and walk beside struggling individuals as they find a way to heal.

My practice provides both psychotherapy and psychological assessment to adults, with psychological assessment for children. My approach to psychotherapy is cognitive-behavioral and humanistic.

Approaches supported by research are utilized when available. Finally, an important part of treatment occurs between sessions.

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.
