Unmanaged stress can negatively effect how we cope with the challenges we face in life. Anxiety and depression are just a couple of the most common effects of stress whether that stress is experienced in the present or past. Stress can also interfere with our ability to function in relationships by inhibiting our ability to process emotions. By working with a counselor you are taking the first important step in overcoming your challenges. Your journey in addressing these challenges is important to me and I look forward to working together with you in achieving improved emotional health and functioning.

As your therapist I will see you as the whole and dynamic person you are. I will help you discover which pieces of your story are authentically your own and which pieces no longer (or never) served you. This journey is one that I am excited to embark upon with you while respecting the fact that you are indeed the expert on your narrative.

Offering Lacanian Psychoanalysis. Unlike behavioral therapy's focus on the learning of 'coping skills' and 'triggers', the psychoanalytic approach attempts to provide the patient with the unconscious basis of a pathological symptom, thus allowing for a greater sense of agency to address it, rather than simply 'managing' the same re-occurring pattern or or behavioral response. This helps address barriers related to the inability to enjoy one's investment in meaningful social outlets associated with one's desire causing psychological distress in work, family, school, and other vital social environments.

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.
