Trauma can have various effects and emerge in different forms. Misplaced sense of dread, internal isolation, recurrent nightmares, compulsive relational patterns as well as general anxiety and low level depression can all point toward something from the past that cannot be incorporated and continues to remain other. While some forms of therapy can target symptoms of trauma, a shortcoming these approaches have in common (mostly modern cognitive-inspired) is short duration of symptom relief with symptoms returning within a relatively quick span of time.

I work with people overwhelmed by addiction, anxiety, depression, or panic disorder—especially first responders and those in high-stress roles. I know what it’s like to lose everything to addiction and face the darkness of depression and anxiety.

One of the biggest obstacles that we have to deal with is change. But what is interesting is that we go through some type of change every moment, from a psychological, emotional or physical experience. I believe that in order to deal with life changing events, we have to learn how to adapt in a manner that provides the least amount of discomfort. And because we are unique, there are no perfect therapeutic techniques or procedures that makes us change. If the desire to change is present, either from an internal or external perspective, we have the ability to adapt.

Change is stressful, and adolescence is a period of enormous change - especially so since the pandemic, social media, gender politics, and looming concerns about the future. Many, many teens today feel overwhelmed by pressure. Struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm, relationship problems, drugs, alcohol, and academic problems is common. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that by 2021, 49.5% of adolescents in the U.S. had a mental disorder, with females, LGBTQIA, and multiracial individuals at the highest risk.

I work with individuals who are ready to embrace vulnerability, step outside their comfort zones, and put in the effort required to achieve meaningful results.

I’ve jumped out of planes, traveled the world, and played Division I sports—but I’ve always preferred books, walks, and deep questions to “adventure.” This has often made me feel out of place. Therefore, I am drawn to those who themselves feel like outsiders—even those who are attempting to pass as "normal". I've always been deeply interested in spirituality, philosophy and religion, while also being an incurable skeptic and never quite feeling at home in traditional religious settings (though I see their value and continue to try). I've always been obsessed with the "what is" and the "how to" aspects of living a meaningful life

You don't have to be "crazy" to seek counseling. Some people are just stuck and need some help getting back on track. Others are at a point in life they're not sure what to do next, so they come to figure that out. Some people have relationship problems in the family or at work, and want help to work through it. Some have emotional problems, or are haunted by past events and want to break free of them. Still others are wanting to grow and develop a clearer sense of purpose, or gain a stronger sense of spirituality.

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.
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.
