Finding someone to talk to, the first step in therapy, is often the most difficult. I understand that the idea of opening up to someone, let alone a stranger, can be daunting, so I would like to offer you time, patience, empathy, and understanding. Life is a journey full of obstacles which may lead to depression, anxiety, confusion, or unhappiness. Sometimes we forget that we are the ones that know ourselves best. Therapy is a way to help yourself be the happiest you can be, and my role as a counselor is to walk that path with you.

I have helped many clients in the years since I began my psychotherapy practice. I have worked with a variety of psychological problems, however, my emphasis has always centered on treating the person and meeting their needs. I believe therapy is most effective when the emotional, spiritual and physical well being of the person is considered. The unique feature of counseling and psychotherapy is not only the ways that I can help clients but also the many ways clients have taught me lessons of life and their resilience in the face of crisis.

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.
