Male Therapists in Reno, NV
Why am I a therapist? There are many reasons I am in this field. The initial draw was curiosity about people. I find people fascinating, each person has their own story, their own journey, their own struggles, and their own triumphs. I find it to be a humbling experience that a person I am working with in therapy is willing to trust me with the intimate details of the things they are seeking help for. I remain cognizant of the courage it takes to seek therapy, to seek recovery, to work on making changes. The resiliency that people are capable of never ceases to amaze me.

Our attachments with people and our spiritual health form the bedrock of healthy functioning. Attachments are what give us meaning in life, adaptability in tough circumstances, creativity, courage and self-worth. To the degree our attachments are unsafe, inflexible or uncertain, to that degree we unravel emotionally. Our spiritual values put life in perspective and display the big picture of life and love. When attachments are safe and healthy, distressed relationships heal, anxieties fade, and loss/disappointments can give way to a new attractive future.

I know it can feel overwhelming choosing a therapist. You're struggling to be understood already....you don't know who to trust or even what the difference might be from one to another. I've been where you are, thumbing through thumbnail after thumbnail of therapist photos....where do you start? Who do you trust? I decided when I got into this business to focus on the relationship, not the strategy. Every client has different needs and each deserves a therapist who understands them and their unique situation.

Trusting a mental health professional is the important first step. Impartial and understanding, my core values are to show love and kindness and to understand you, your history both past and present for fresh insight into applying the fitting counseling theory like your narrative. Often we tend to over-use friends and family repeating the problem and subsequently not improving our current situation and even negatively reinforcing the wrong. This isn't just about survival it is about eventually thriving, and this goal will be our, yes our agreed upon target.

All the way from the desert planes of Arizona, I have made my home in the city of Reno for the past 10+ years. I fell in love with the four season aesthetic as I acquired both my Bachelor's and Master's of Social Work at the University of Nevada, Reno. Outside of treatment, I have two other jobs including teaching part time at my alma mater and volunteering at my local Teamsters union supporting people within the labor movement. Outside of work, if I am not fighting off dragons with my friends in D&D, I am either going through old cookbooks refining my chef skills or sipping tea with my family in the backyard gazing at the stars.

One of the most courageous things we can do is begin to unserstand our own story and take the steps into becoming the person we want to be. As a therapist, I help in guiding individuals and families in finding their ability to overcome life's trials. I stem from a client centered, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and creative approach emphasizing the importance of a caring and trusting relationship between the therapist and the clients' to help create a healing environment. Along with learning to be present, open up, and do what matters in each individuals life.

Often we live our lives based on what we imagine others expect from us rather than listening to our own instincts. Therapy can help get us in touch with our deeper instincts, which include thoughts and emotions we may have learned to tune out in order to get by in the world, sometimes quite successfully. By looking inward and getting to know ourselves better, we often develop a more honest relationship with ourselves and others; when we're not held back by excess anxiety, we can take a more active role in asking for what we need and are better able to reach our individual potential.

Something isn’t right. Maybe it’s anxiety that won’t let up, relationship struggles that leave you feeling disconnected, or the weight of past experiences that still affect you today. Whether it happened recently or years ago, it lingers—showing up in ways you wish it wouldn’t. Certain situations, people, or memories bring up emotions that are hard to shake. You might feel on edge, like you can never fully relax. Maybe you wonder if things will always be this way.
A part of you hopes for relief. Hopes that therapy could help you feel more at ease, more connected, more like yourself. You can trust that part of you.

Does your relationship make you feel like a boat lost on a stormy sea? You're trying so hard to communicate but no matter what you do you run into the same unsolvable problems. The more you argue in circles. The more you worry that it might not work out after all. Do you feel like you're being avoided, cut off and starving for more love? Or maybe you feel like you're being pulled too close, smothered, and not given enough freedom?
Fixing it all feels impossible because it's so overwhelming.

You come first in therapy. I’m just here to help. When we learn to be honest with ourselves, life is happier, problems are solvable, and relationships are easier. I prefer a direct approach because self-exploration requires clear reflection. I’m also patient because sometimes it takes a few tries to get to where we want to be.

There is no such thing as an easy life, regardless of your circumstances there is a certainty to pain, grief, anxiety, and worry. These things overwhelm us and make us blind to the inevitability of happiness, relief, love, and comfort. While overwhelmed, we become rigid in our beliefs, thoughts, and behavior; we become stuck, unable to find connection, to develop alternative solutions, or process events. Living a satisfying, fulfilling life that matches our values is hard, and sometimes requires a bit of help build it.
