We all need others in order to better see and understand ourselves. In our sessions we will work together to create a space built upon trust that fosters growth and insight. Therapy should be dynamic, and sometimes I'll be there to witness and support, other times I'll be more active and inquisitive.

In my 30 years of practice I've successfully treated the unique concerns that bring men into therapy. These include mid-life and aging issues, career insecurity, burnout, transitions; relationship problems; and the gamut of addictive behaviors (sex, porn, gambling, substances, etc.). Symptoms most often associated with these life problems include depression, anxiety, avoidance, isolation, and sexual dysfunction. Because they aren't comfortable exposing their vulnerabilities men often need encouragement to seek therapy. If that sounds like you, or someone you know, please contact me for a free 20 minute consultation. I can help!

You're struggling with existential dread, climate anxiety, and that nagging feeling you're just going through the motions. Despite being surrounded by people, you feel alone and stuck. You want MORE—real purpose, authentic connections, a life that actually feels like YOURS. You're tired of pretending everything's fine when you're secretly uncertain about the future.

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain. Some are dealing with anxiety, relationship stress, or repeating emotional cycles that leave them feeling alone even when surrounded by people. Others are trying to communicate better, rebuild trust, or simply understand themselves on a deeper level. My clients usually want clarity, relief, and a place where they can finally slow down and feel understood, not judged.

I work well with people who feel like they are cycling through repeating patterns in their life, particularly in relationships with their family, at work, or in relationship with their Self. My clients are insightful and brave. They tend to need gentle encouragement to see things slightly differently and develop more security. I use a combination of different types of therapies and techniques, depending on the particular problems someone is struggling with. These techniques help people establish boundaries in their families, behavioral change for harmful habits and addictions, and assertive communication skills.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
