My areas of interest include Couples Therapy, Sex Therapy, Men's issues, Parenting, and LGBTQ+ concerns.
I believe that relationships are foundational for emotional health. Challenges faced in couples, families, and individual lives find healing in vulnerably reaching out to work through problems together. I provide a safe, judgement free area to help couples, individuals, and families face their problems. Talking about intimate details, such as sex, trauma, and shame, can be scary, and I am confident that reconnection and acceptance can be achieved. I am honored to be a part of your healing journey.

I am also passionate about couples work and men's issues.
In my 30 years of practice I've encountered a variety of problems as presented by both adolescents and their families. Perhaps you can relate to some of the following: "I'm worried about my daughter, we're getting a divorce and am afraid she may be cutting again." "We don't ask for much, maybe a little cooperation, all we get is disrespect." "I've seen four or five therapist since I was a kid, how will this be any different?" "Our son has always been anxious, he's agreed to at least talk to someone about some strategies."

My experience has included psychotherapy in a non-profit setting serving a diverse group of clients with anxiety, trauma, depression, stress management, coping skills, self-esteem, grief/loss, LGBTQA+, HIV, stigma, men's issues, and relationships.
We have all faced adversity, distress, anxiety or depression and during these times we can feel overwhelmed and alone. Clients often reminded me that it only takes one courageous step to bring about positive meaningful change. I believe that this is the time that we should reach out courageously for assistance and look for answers to deal with these challenges. I encourage you to take that first step. I meet my clients where they are in the moment and help them in managing their feelings and provide overall emotional support.

Traumatic experiences, regardless of what kind, leave behind hidden wounds and scars. Among many things you find yourself on high alert around others; bracing for some unknown threat. Some people may tell you to simply 'push through it' or just 'toughen up.' But it simply does not work that way. You, the client, determine when and what trauma material you are ready to process. We work to heal the traumatized self, in our sessions, through ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), psychodynamic and Inner Child work. You don't have to suffer quietly alone.

Whether it's a loss of a loved one, transitions that cause us to rethink who we are and what we want, or events in which we've been harmed or mistreated - sometimes we all just need a space to explore our thoughts and feelings so that we can gain the confidence to move forward.

Men's Issues Therapists

Is therapy for men different than it is for women?

Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?

Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?

One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
