My clientele spans across a wide age group with a diverse set of needs. Some individuals seek assistance with acute stressful situations, others with life transitions, and still others with ongoing mental health issues. Without exception, every individual is treated with dignity and offered the highest level of treatment available. Being in a small city sometimes requires collaboration with other providers such as primary care physicians or clinics for medication management, school districts for continuity of care, or nursing homes for consultation. My office has successfully maintained these type relationships for 25 years.

I have a large staff with expertise in a great variety of concerns with coverage for most insurance claims. I personally want to help people who are highly motivated and can benefit from coaching and open to alternative interventions such as my expertise in home based neurotherapy. I work with busy executives and professional athletes who desire peak perfor mance or need to focus on roadblocks to success. My expertise is as a motivator and mentor for success.

I'm also trained and comfortable helping people explore spiritual & religious questions, as for many people these are core elements of how they see themselves and their world.
Sometimes we hit a wall. Maybe we would usually describe our life as going pretty well, but lately we find it harder to find motivation, or we’re more irritable, anxious, or just plain sad. Sometimes we’ve struggled a long time (with nightmares, stress, bad memories, or feeling depressed) and it's beyond what a friend can help with. Whether your goals are to manage emotions, sleep better, think more clearly, feel better about yourself or key relationships, finally accept what can't be changed, better understand relationship patterns, or find a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in life, counseling / psychotherapy may be helpful.

Individuals thrive toward their potential when their relationships are healthy and supportive. Being in healthy relationship is how we, as individuals and families, are sustained in the long term. Relationships that are healthy are consistent, have structure, are interdependent, and provide instruction that fosters individual and collective resiliency and progress.
When relationships are in crisis, individuals must be guided toward identifying the behaviors and attitudes that bring on conflict. When this awareness is achieved, change is possible. Here, attention to individual and relationship needs is equally important in the therapeutic process.

My specialties include sport and perfor mance psychology, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, Autism, sex counseling, issues with identity and self-acceptance, LGBTQ support, career counseling, phase-of-life problems, and Superhero Therapy.
Do you know what one of the most powerful desires in the world is? To feel heard. My ideal client desires to feel heard, seeks no judgment, and wants to learn how to develop self-compassion. As a former athlete turned therapist, I recognize that life IS perfor mance. And although it helps to have a voice to help with high-perfor mance de mands, sometimes it's hard to ask for that voice. As a proud blerd (black and a nerd), I can also help those willing to use aspects of their culture, or pop culture, or any movie, television show, anime, video game, or piece of music that allows one to reflect and try to embrace life uniquely.

While counseling is not the only way to feel better, many people find it be a safe place to gain insight and valuable tools to handle their challenges.
We live in a time where mental health struggle is a highly prevalent reality. I regularly talk with children, teens, and adults who are struggling with challenges including anxiety, ADHD, depression, and family concerns. Many times, we feel depressed and anxious because of negative thoughts about self, overwhelming circumstances, and challenging relational dynamics. These concerns are extremely common and are causing many people to have difficulty experiencing life with joy and satisfaction and functioning to their full potential.

Accepting new clients! I help people overcome difficulty and use it to grow and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we start by treating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career, or LGBTQ+ and other identity issues, and over time turn to deeper issues about the life you want to create, your identity, and your values. I’m a hu manistic counselor, which means I’ll never tell you what to do and I’ll always empower you to make the choice that’s best for you. I use a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you connect with your intuitive sense of self and your intrinsic motivation to grow and do difficult things.

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.
