There is inherent goodness in everyone, and I would like to help you find your inner goodness and "hu man-ness".
My ideal client is ready to reflect and change for the better. I enjoy helping clients learn to discover their own power to change their circumstances in life. Every person has power in themselves, but sometimes it takes a little guidance to find it and use it. I also am passionate about exploring how the relationships of our past are actively affecting our choices today, and how we can use those experiences for the better. Through this process, we uncover past hurts and learn to forgive, accept, and love the parts of us that are hurting.

Mental health is like physical health, sometimes things happen to us that are not our fault but they hurt just the same. Some things are our fault and we need help navigating a way out. Sometimes we just need a little checkup to make sure we're living the best life we can. If you need help with anxiety that seems to pester you, with a relationship that feels like you've run out of options, with a fog that's keeping you down, with something that happened to you long ago that you are ready to leave behind, I'd love to help walk you through to peace on the other side.

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.
