One afternoon I told my wife that after another tour, I would be leaving the U.S. Coast Guard for a very different career. Serving my country and the
men
and women of the U.S. Coast Guard is one of the greatest honors and privileges of my life. After serving nine years I knew that directly assisting and serving people is the life-giving work of my heart. I became a Social Worker and therapist because it is my greatest joy and pleasure to support you as you unify all your strengths and gifts to release your Faith, Hope, and Love into society.

I work extremely well with clients who are motivated to change their lives. Often, our greatest challenges come during times of major life transitions. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I help my clients focus upon the inherent solutions to their most pressing problems. Motivation to change comes with the willingness to look closely and investigate the stories we tell ourselves. Often, I discover with my clients that their oldest and most damaging internal stories are simply not true. By having a fellow human who is open and fully present witness our lives, we can discover the very real possibility for greater health and happiness.

I enjoy working with people who are passionate about their lives and who want to improve how they perceive and actualize their potential. Sometimes it just takes the right words from someone unexpected, to create the changes that are desired. With my expertise, I not only can help you formulate goals and motivate you to accomplish them, but if necessary, can help to hold you accountable for your change or help refocus your goals in order to make them achievable. I listen closely to understand your problems from a purely human perspective, of someone having a human experience.

You don’t understand why you feel this way. You’ve worked so hard to get here but it feels different from what you had hoped for. On the surface things are going well but you still feel dissatisfied, empty, distant, and disconnected. There is a side of you that stays hidden from us and it is so exhausting for you to keep it that way. You feel like connecting and understanding will help you through this but another part of you is terrified of getting what you want. You’ve tried other therapists and perhaps medication, too; things feel a bit better for a little while, but you always come back to this. You want deeper, lasting change.

Everyone strives to be in relationship, but the stress of relationships can also cause trauma. When we can't make our relationships work we can say and do things we don't want to, and feel - and seem - "crazy." My partner and I have learned that the way to sustainably resolve problems we confront in ourselves and others is to focus on problems ˆBETWEEN us rather than looking for something "wrong" with people that we can "fix."

We often have a sense that in some ways, somehow we have been holding back. The barriers hidden behind cost us in our capacity for intimacy, spontaneity, and precious space for the heart's need to express and to be seen. They are usually constructed for very good reasons; to avoid painful experiences and vulnerability. But more often than not, carry on decades beyond when the threatening events have past. Defenses, beliefs, and the wounds that shut us down developed around people. The healing can happen when we feel safety again. Not surprisingly, this needs to happen with people too.

If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, dysfunctional relationships, trauma, grief or a life transition, such as divorce, illness or job loss, I am here to help as these are my areas of focus. I ascribe to a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach to therapy and believe these four elements make an important contribution to our mental well-being. To ensure healing, I will meet you where you are and we will call upon a broad array of disciplines within and outside of psychology. If you are seeking a meaningful and successful therapy experience, I offer an empathetic and caring environment which is the foundation of my work.

I see clients who are entering psychotherapy for a wide variety of reasons, including dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, and complications from trauma. My first task in working with you will be to create a warm, safe environment where you can re-discover your most authentic self. In our sessions we will explore your hopes, goals, and dreams. We will also tend to the psychological wounds that have been causing so much pain. My orientation to psychotherapy is based on the simple understanding that the psyche, like the body, will heal itself if we create the right conditions for change to occur.

My orientation is to work with both individuals and couples in a manner that considers our relatedness to life. With individuals struggling with anxiety, depression or work/life stress, I will take into account the relational factors contributing to the issues which may include environments, people, culture, expectations and roles. With couples, I consider the relational dynamics between each other, as we address ways to navigate distressing situations.

I'm interested in helping you grow toward a life that feels rich, satisfying, and fully your own. I believe that we become ourselves through our relationships with others, and that my job as a psychotherapist is to offer you non-judgmental, honest interactions in which you can learn about yourself with acceptance and compassion. We need as much of ourselves and our feelings as possible to enjoy our lives, engage in our relationships, and make changes when necessary. I look forward to being with you as you grow to know more about yourself and your impact on the world around you.

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.
