I greatly enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to grow and actively involved in their own care. I approach the therapeutic process from a perspective of curiosity and use a broad range of professional, cultural, and life experiences to connect with a diverse spectrum of patients. Having served for several years as a first responder with Jackson County, I saw the impact of trauma firsthand, and remain dedicated to approaching trauma, anxiety, and depression through a lens of understanding and compassion. My goal is to facilitate, nurture, and cultivate a strong foundation that generates long-term success for the patient.

Thanks for your time. I provide support for clients while holding the belief that we experience life in the context of mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and social dimensions that are inseparable; those aspects that makes someone a whole person; the people we are, the product of our personal and social interactions and contributions to them; that which makes you, and that which makes me—we; that we are equal, interconnected and are more alike than different. I think about healthcare from an integrative approach; that historical, contemporary and complimentary/alternative forms of medicine are not mutually exclusive.

Like plants striving to grow in the harshest of environments, I have an earnest faith in the ability of all human beings to reach towards healing. This is expressed in my capacity for co-regulation and empathetic understanding in the therapeutic setting. I carry an implicit trust in the relationship between counselor and client to form the foundation of the work that can be accomplished when all are invested in a shared goal. My experience of healing by exploring myself in the mirror provided by a landbase is as long as my experience of suffering, although only recently have I integrated this powerful tool into my work as a healer.

Life might look fine on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, weighed down by the past, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to shift.

As a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience, I specialize working with adults navigating the lasting impacts of trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I provide therapy for many issues, including anxiety, addictions, men's masculinity and relationship issues, sexual issues, depression, trauma, and challenging life-transitions. Within the container of therapy, you will be pushed beyond your mental and emotional comfort zones.

Now accepting new clients! Has life become a process of just going through the motions? Has the build up of painful memories from the past or the worry about what will happen next keep you from living life to its fullest? The truth is that each one of us will struggle at some point on this "path" we call life. However, as common as this struggle is, likewise is the struggle of working up the courage to reach out and ask for help when we need it. The beauty of counseling is that it reveals this path doesn’t have to be walked alone.

It has been my experience that a person seeks therapy to obtain something, get better at something, or get rid of something. Whatever that ‘something’ is for you, let's get you there. Together we will explore your desired outcome for therapy, then we will work up a plan that research has proven to be effective and then tailor it to your unique self. So that at the end of your time in therapy you are able to walk away feeling, thinking, and doing better than when you started.

Anxiety, depression, and career or life stress can create overwhelming feelings of self-doubt, exhaustion, and frustration.

But with the right support, it’s possible to shift these patterns and regain a sense of clarity and control.

I’m similar to the clients I work with in a lot of ways. Before becoming a psychologist, I held numerous jobs as a warehouse worker, a cook, a salesman, a teacher, and a nurse. I began working in mental health in the 1983 first as an assistant for hospitalized persons suffering with mental illness. I then became a psychiatric nurse where I helped clients with their medications the psychiatrist prescribed them. For the last 24 years I have provided psychotherapy to hundreds of clients. I think my long time working as a therapist and my down to earth nature is what makes me different.

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.
