You feel stuck—dissatisfied, anxious, or lonely. Life’s challenges, like trauma, infidelity, depression, loneliness or grief, have left you overwhelmed and disconnected from your emotional truths. Denying these truths might feel safer, but it only deepens the struggle. You want to feel peace, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and find joy again. By reconnecting with your true emotions, you can uncover meaning, strengthen relationships, and create a life filled with purpose and authenticity. The journey starts with valuing yourself enough to take that first step.

Men, young adults, and veterans have been particularly rewarding to work with.
I take an eclectic approach to helping people because I believe therapy shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. My certifications include trauma therapy with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I also integrate Narrative Therapy techniques, complemented by my background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I work with adults and couples who are facing painful impasses in their lives. When we encounter overwhelming problems that seem irresolvable, we may feel that life as we know it is over. And in fact, it is. The feeling that our life has become unlivable is a sign that we are ready to transcend our current way of living and pursue a richer one, marked by greater authenticity and love. This sort of self-transcendence is a possibility for anyone willing to listen to the call, including those who have an interest in practicing therapy in continuity with their religious faith.

I can help you with depression, anxiety, feelings of poor self-worth or problems with communication and commitment in personal relationships. You can get off the treadmill of intense and self-defeating interactions with co-workers and intimate partners. I can also help if you have trouble concentrating, staying focused on a task, or being hyperactive and feeling "scattered." If you are a spiritual seeker, I can provide a thoughtful and informed perspective on meaning and direction in life.

My ideal client is exploring change and considering what it may look like. Whether that is change in their relationships, lifestyle, career, family life, social life, etc... They recognize that a change needs to happen. Their goal is to decrease stress from the current behavior that continues to go on and they desire to find a different way to deal with issues that come up in life. They know what needs to change and the thought of doing something different is scary and overwhelming.

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.
