Ultimately, I am guided by the belief that we are all living stories testifying to the resiliency of the hu man spirit.
Helping people begin to show up in their own lives, sometimes after years of disconnection, is one of my greatest passions and privileges. That passion has led me to the study of trauma and addiction because of the role each play in disconnecting us from ourselves and those around us. Trauma can include everything from life-threatening events to the sometimes more subtle experiences of woundedness that can occur through ordinary family and social interactions across a lifetime. Gerald May says that addiction can be anything that “bonds and enslaves the energy of desire to certain specific behaviors, things, or people".

We don't always expect what life may throw in our direction. Sometimes, even what we would consider a positive change can stress or burden us in ways that make it difficult to feel like ourselves or function at our best. This can result in feeling depressed, anxious, hopeless about the future, or even paralyzed. Relationships change; death, major illness, or relationships ending can contribute to difficulty in living life the way we would like. I work best with individuals suffering from anxiety-related issues, regardless of gender, and those who are struggling with life transitions.

The focus of therapy is to create a sense of empowerment over one's thoughts, feelings, and actions. The idea is to work through irrational thought patterns and understand the physiological mechanisms of the brain that help create change. Also, to understand how our past and present are link together while governing a person's choices in life.

Has life become difficult through no fault of your own? Or maybe it's entirely because of things you've done or failed to do. Either way, you shouldn't have to face it alone. It takes courage to ask for help but the rewards can lead to something greater. Everyone's a little more anxious or depressed these days and sometimes you need help to get back on track.

My goal is to help you break free from emotional pain, navigate life’s challenges, and find meaning and purpose in as many areas as you can.
Life is filled with challenges, but therapy doesn’t have to be one of them. The therapy process is sometimes seen as one-sided, with you feeling disconnected and without a chance to really engage. I can say that I see you for you, and I want to help you find the solutions and life changes you’re looking for! Calling a therapist can feel daunting, but I hope you’ll take a moment (and maybe a deep breath!) and call and see how I can be of help.

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.
