Right now you may feel stuck yet eager to make things better with your partner. You may try by reaching out repeatedly hoping they see you care... The relationship means so much to you! Or maybe you hope your partner gives you space to process because you don't always know what to do in the moment. You just want things to get better! When these strategies don’t work, the relationship can start to fee shaky, uncertain. In our counseling sessions, my goal is to help you find new patterns of deeper intimacy and stronger communication so you can enjoy the life you live together.

I work with a variety of concerns; trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, abandonment, and others. I use an integrative approach leaning heavily on attachment theory. I have also spent significant time working with children and adolescents with complex trauma and/or abandonment. I believe that people have an inherent resiliency, even if it seems lost for a time and people can often find it within themselves to heal and grow with help when needed. My time with clients is spent looking for the ways in which that healing and growth can be realized.

Humor. You may feel stuck, uncertain or nervous about your life right now. While I take this very serious I find that people enjoy being able to talk to a "real" person. From what I hear I'm "real" largely because of my sense of humor. The goal is not to have fun but to find your healthy self. I just believe that being a good clinician doesn't mean you have to be "clinical". Sometimes laughter is the best medicine, or if nothing else, a great vehicle! Let's roll up our sleeves and move forward toward getting better.

As we walk through life, we are bound to struggle in one way or another. Sometimes, when the struggle feels overwhelming, we can look outside of ourselves for a helping hand. To participate in therapy is to collaborate in a safe and accepting space where you can learn practical skills that facilitate meaningful long-lasting positive change in yourself and in your relationships. I believe that it is through a process of self-discovery and practice that we are able to empower ourselves to skillfully make choices that lead us toward the outcomes we desire.

Whether life is going well or you are struggling to feel well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Finding the right therapist, however, could be overwhelming. With investments of energy, time, and money, it is important to select a therapist with whom you feel comfortable—someone that "gets" you and in whom you have trust and confidence. I enjoy helping adults understand their barriers and strengths to help them meet their goals in the various aspects of their lives, such as relationships, work, school, and health.

People think you have the perfect relationship. And it may even look like it to those on the outside. But if you peel back the curtain, it feels more like you are roommates sharing space. You remember how in love you felt when first married. You were connected. Now, there are just glimpses of that connection. With all the busyness — jobs, kids, & noise — there is no space for real conversation. You are being pulled away from each other by constant distractions & responsibilities. You are afraid of the future possibility of a lonely marriage. You’ve tried everything to help the relationship & now you’re tired. You need 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.
