Male Therapists in Edmond, OK
I often work with teens and young adults as they explore who they’re becoming, helping them grow in self-awareness, emotional clarity, and the courage to live with integrity and purpose. I also work with clients of all ages to process past pain, set healthy boundaries, and discover new ways to meet their needs for safety, connection, and meaning.
Whether you’re processing grief, healing from trauma, wrestling with anxiety, or just trying to make sense of who you are, I’m here to walk with you. We’ll work at your pace, always returning to what we all deeply need: to feel safe, secure, soothed, and seen.

Here is where faith meets healing and weary hearts learn to breathe again. You love God, your family, and the people you serve, but lately you feel drained. You keep showing up for everyone while quietly losing yourself. Home feels tense, communication is fragile, and prayer has turned into silence. You tell yourself, "I should be grateful," yet peace feels far away. I understand that exhaustion. I help Christian couples and families slow down, listen for God's voice, and begin healing where stress and striving have stolen joy. You are not beyond repair. Even in this hard place, God still wants to meet you and heal your heart.

There are many things that can contribute to the stressors of life. Our mental health and overall sense of well-being are incredibly important to how we deal with this stress. For some people there are very clear mental health issues such as symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mood issues that have caused problems for them. For other people there may not be identifiable mental health issues, rather a general sense that something in life is not going right, or something needs to change.

Since 2008, I've worked in both non-profit community mental health and very much for-profit private practice, which means I've gotten to work with all kinds of clients from different backgrounds and age groups to help address a remarkably broad spectrum of problems and concerns. Most of my work has been, and will continue to be, with young people- and while I've certainly loved every other minute of that, I am always eager (and occasionally desperate) to talk to another adult. My goal is for my clients to feel as comfortable and understood as possible, as soon as possible. From there, we can get to work.

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.
