I provide psychodynamic therapy to individuals (ages 14+) and couples. This type of therapy addresses the underlying causes and meanings of unwanted symptoms and dysfunctional patterns. It heals by bringing unconscious content to consciousness and by fostering deeper relationships with parts of ourselves we previously ignored, denied or even disdained. Psychodynamic therapy is often well suited for those who haven’t responded well to other types of therapy.

When life comes at us, we may experience depression, anxiety, or struggle with the difficult changes, and we may need help to feel better equipped to manage these experiences. Sometimes people are questioning their own identity and how it fits in the world. Sometimes people try to manage relationships without the most effective approach and are looking for something different. We all experience difficulties in relationships at times and sometimes extra help with navigating the difficulties within relationships can make things easier.

Since 2014 I've worked with military-connected children in school settings in the US, Ger many and Japan.
Children have to deal with many stressors in today's world. This is especially true of children in military families. Frequent moves, leaving old friends, making new friends, parent's deployments, adjusting to new places and schools, peer pressure and finding and maintaining emotional resilience are challenges many children must deal with. With military children, these events may occur over and over. Family dynamics change as a parent deploys then returns home to reintegrate back into the family. I can help children navigate these challenges and thrive.

My work is informed by this truth: Life is difficult and facing its challenges requires courage and connection. I strive to create an environment of non-judgment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed, issues can be explored, and values can be acted on. Asking for help can be awkward, but I view it as a strength that often opens the door to relief, problem-solving, and transformation. Each day I witness how counseling helps individuals navigate predictable life-stages as well as unexpected crises. And I see that healing, growth, and meaning are within reach for all.

Kardia Counseling & Consulting began with the idea that the healing process is as much about what you feel and think as it is HOW you think about your feelings; the notion that healing, at its core is the repairing of our soul; to be done respectfully, compassionately and with conscious intention. The realignment of our innermost "being-ness" with that of our true nature could indeed recenter and heal us; that our deepest desires for internal peace, blissful coexistence with loved ones and even the contemplation of true happiness is within our reach.

Trained in many marriage and pre-marriage counseling programs over many years, I found what cracks the code to living well with self and others.
Everyone who cares deserves to be happy. Life is also full of ups and downs. This is especially true when it comes to relationships. Sometimes, we push through the struggles and eventually feel some relief. But other times we can feel stuck, repeating patterns or habits that get us nowhere or keep us in a rut. Anger or distancing from one another often replaces the love and closeness we want and deserve in our relationships. If you want to be happy again, or just be a better you, I am here for you.

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.
