Couples are then less likely to personalize their partner's inner struggles and can begin relating in a compassionate manner as opposed to anger/rage.
I have been a licensed psychotherapist and marriage counselor for over 30 years. Conflicts can seem insurmountable. This is especially so when we lack insight into not only ourselves and our own childhood wounds, but also the developmental origins of our partner's behavior. My therapeutic work is based in the idea that quality of life is largely contingent upon a feeling of connectedness to others. Through thoughtful and compassionate understandings/insights, my goal is to help couples let go of resentments - the obstacles to intimacy - and develop deeper, safer bonds, and a more realistic appreciation of their valued partnerships.

I work with people who are stuck in a feeling, thought, or behavior with no room for other feelings, other thoughts, or contact with others beyond what they are stuck with. I work with people experiencing something painful and curious that they know is coming from them but it's as if it is happening to them. In other words, something like a painful dream, which I know is coming from me but it's as if it's happening to me. I work with people who feel enough security in our relationship to be able to talk about our relationship. The arts and hu manities have been a fixture of my professional life in addition to being a psychologist.

Life is hard and is often so very different from what we imagined it would be. We wrestle day in and day out with disappointment--the sadness that comes from recognizing the gap between reality and how we imagined our lives would look. We lament the gravity of our history and the way it has come between us and our dreams. We suffer the shame of recognizing how our choices have shaped our current situations. We study the wounds we carry as reminders of the pain that has been inflicted upon us. We mourn our weary past and fear the unknown future. After all we've been through, how can we expect to hold onto hope for a better tomorrow?

We are licensed psychotherapists who have been practicing for over 30 years. Our therapeutic work is based in the idea that quality of life is largely dependent upon a feeling of belonging or a sense of connectedness to others. Sometimes though, we feel unwanted, lacking value and self-worth. We can be profoundly uncertain of our own potential or where we stand in our relationships with others. We all grapple with stress, self-doubt and the challenges of finding meaning, purpose, and solving our ultimate existential concerns - "Who am I," and "Where am I headed?"

I address all issues from the perspective of a person's environment. We all exist in the context of a family, a community and a culture. In therapy we often find that there is nothing wrong with us, depression, anxiety, etc., are not innate dysfunctions but rather result from conflict that arises in our environment. I like to help individuals, couples and families learn about these environments to better navigate them as well as learn about themselves and what it means to be who they are in the context of their environment.

My mission is to utilize individual therapy with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help clients of all ages, from teens to older adults, improve their mental well-being. Utilizing CBT to help individuals identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs that may be contributing to their difficulties. By replacing these thoughts with more positive and realistic ones, clients can experience a positive shift in their emotions and behaviors. Mindfulness, on the other hand, involves being fully present in the moment and non-judgmentally observing one's thoughts, feelings, and sensations.

I love using meditation to remember how interconnected we are as hu mans and how connected we are with nature.
My ideal client would be ready for a challenge. Someone who wants their worldview expanded, prepared to find internal and external connection with the world. My ideal client would be someone who also wants their race, sexuality, or gender affirmed by their clinician.

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.
