Empathy. Validation. Alliance. Transformation. As a therapist, it is my belief that all these elements must be present for treatment to be successful. They provide the foundation for our work together. Empathy- it is vital that you feel seen, heard, and understood. Validation- I believe that ALL feelings are valid, and I strive to create a safe space for them to emerge and process. Alliance- therapy is most effective when it is a collaboration built on trust and unconditional support. Transformation- whatever you are struggling with, my job is to inspire change and help you transform into the person you want to be.

There is a difference between feeling better and getting better. Many people walk out of their therapy sessions feeling better than they did upon walking in, but this doesn't always mean there is measurable improvement in their lives. For many, therapy can feel like nothing more than an opportunity to vent their frustrations week to week. And despite their venting, the same unwanted patterns persist. This is why it is imperative that the therapeutic alliance be more than a relationship built on empathy. It requires consensus and collaboration, well-defined goals, and a roadmap for achieving those goals.

Everyone has their own unique and idiosyncratic means of getting in their own way whether or not they are aware of it. Unfortunately, we are also attached to these ways of hindering ourselves. This is perhaps at the source of most experiences of suffering and can manifest in various symptoms such as anxiety, depression, anger, inhibitions and relationship or sexual issues.

Working together to examine deeply-rooted fears, emotions, and patterns from the past, we can diffuse their power so that you can build a future more aligned with your goals and values. My aim is to find what works for each unique person and to create a non-judgmental, exploratory space where people feel safe to say whatever surfaces. The goal of treatment is to spark transformation toward healing by cultivating awareness of your innate strengths, supporting your search for meaning and authenticity, increasing your sense of connection to others, and building your capacity to cope with difficult feelings.

The focus of my work is Gestalt psychotherapy. Focusing on increased awareness of your body's response to thoughts and feelings you develop a greater personal awareness. Our stories, memories and roles in life help define us, though when these parts feel limiting, not living together comfortably, dialogue and experimentation moves you toward a new integration to live more whole and present.

Triumph over your challenges: Relationships, Trauma, Depression, Panic/Anxiety, Addictions, Sexuality, Gender, Men's Issues, Peyronie's.
Our emotional experiences as children impacts our mental & physical health as adults - even decades later. The past informs our present. Connecting the dots back then to today, reveals a clear picture of your situation. It's easy to bury the past, but buried toxic waste eats away at your mind, body & soul. "Cleaning" our "environment" is the road to freedom.

I have specialty working with Queer and LGBTQIA+ folks, particularly gay men, navigating issues of belonging, sex, sexuality, relationships and gender.
I am a queer therapist who believes the action of therapy is achieved through the building of a safe, collaborative, and trusting relationship between client and therapist. Two people come together with their individual identities and construct a space to facilitate growth, change, and insight. In this space we can begin to explore experiences of trauma, relationship, conflict and intention. It is through this exploration that we can begin understand our relationship to the world.

People seek therapy when something in their lives has become unmanageable: when anxiety, depression or boredom begins to take over, or when they feel they're stuck in patterns that they can't break. Maybe you're spiraling over things others deem insignificant, or you're struggling with addiction, compulsions or challenges related to work, sex or relationships. Whatever form it takes, therapy is an invitation to speak freely about what troubles you. By talking to someone who will listen closely and without judgment, you may find ways out of painful repetition and into a more vital, authentic life.

Our desire is not always clear and can paralyze us. This can create discomfort or suffering that we don't really understand or can't make sense of. Our jobs, friends, families and relationships can suffer because of this. I work with adults, adolescents, and children experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, panic, overwhelming feelings or moods, and obsessional compulsions amongst others. I also work with people going through changes or periods of questioning in their identity and sexuality.

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.
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.
