I've also taught at three different schools, both at the Bachelor's and Master's levels, and supervised interns from many different schools as they learn how to help others.
I love to work with folks who are looking for a kind and compassionate alternate perspective on the struggles they're currently going through. I'm convinced that I'm not the expert in anybody else's story, but if you show me a window into your life experience, I'm confident that I can help you develop a plan for the best way to move forward. I'm passionate about offering support and helping people learn and grow into a happier, healthier future. I know that your challenges might seem insurmountable right now, but I honestly believe that you have a whole lot more resiliency than you know.

Special interests include men's issues such as self-image, sexuality, pornography habits and anger.
I really don't have an ideal client as all individuals are different and have unique strengths and weaknesses that are useful to them in some way.. I tend to take a strength based approach and encourage independent problem solving dialogue. I feel very comfortable working with nearly all ages even younger children so long as their parents are actively engaged with treatment. Depression, anxiety, personal relationships, separation and loss, and disrupted adjustments are all within the scope of my work. Now, with telepsychology there are more opportunities to connect with people.

Every person at times experiences difficult problems which they have trouble coping with. In the midst of their problem, it is common to only see despair and hopelessness. But there is always some meaning that can be found in problems, and always some way a difficult situation can be made better. There is a Finnish saying: "However much there is that is bad, there is always some good in it." I collaborate with my clients in finding solutions they never thought of, consider approaches they never tried, and replace self-defeating attitudes with more productive ones

My counseling style is rooted in a client-centered, empathic, hu manistic, non-judgmental point of view.
Being able to recognize our own strengths and how we have used those strengths to succeed in the past, can be a useful tool in reducing acute symptoms of anxiety, depression, and many other mental health concerns. Long-term, I work with clients in hopes of building the confidence and skill set to move forward knowing that they are more than capable of managing anything that life throws your way. I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and that every person has the ability within themselves to not only enact change, but be their very own change agent.

Healing of any kind involves understanding and repairing the connections that keep us together, and healing always involves finding solutions! Sometimes, it is difficult to find the available solutions or to fix the broken connections. You would do anything for your family - you have given your all - but you are giving up. I believe that the task of therapy is to accompany individuals, and families until they feel woven together - stronger than when they began, more self-aware than at the start, and ready to contribute positively to their community.

Every day is a struggle. Painful memories and overwhelming emotions make it difficult to accomplish anything. Some days, the thought of just getting out of bed is too much to bear. You never know what will trigger distress and anxiety, so you avoid people and unpredictable situations. But, as a result, your life keeps getting smaller and smaller. Relationships are becoming distant and filled with conflict. You wonder why you’re unable to get over those painful events from your past. You blame yourself for still struggling this way. If only there were someone you could talk to and help you make sense of what you’re experiencing.

I believe that therapy needs to be personalized to the individual and the goals that you have for yourself. Therapy is also a partnership between the therapist and the client. I often compare my view of therapy to a GPS; with you in the driver's seat, you select the destination you'd like to reach, and I'll help figure out a way to get us there. Empathy and therapeutic rapport are a foundation in my approach to practice; I have a genuine interest and investment in the lives of those that I work with, having compassion in all our interactions, while at the same time, also challenging you to work towards growth.

I believe that people are curious and usually strive to make sense of their internal selves and the world around them. In this process we are often guided, influenced, and diverted by various factors. These factors are endless and include, but are not limited to; experiences, parents, society, friends, work, and morals. While these variables can help us to grow, they may also hinder progress, leading to stagnation and dysfunction. I assist others to gain awareness of these factors either within or outside the self.

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.
