Men have never lost the desire to explore. This curiosity often leads men to seek new ways of navigating the world, their potential, and their emotional health.

My ideal client is a man who looks like he has it all together—career, relationship, responsibilities—but feels disconnected, burnt out, or stuck in patterns he can’t name. He wants clarity, better communication, and tools to manage stress and relationships without losing himself in the process. He’s tired of just coping—he wants to take action and feel like himself again.

I've focused my practice on substance use issues and addictive problems in people lives. For years I worked with women in eating disorders treatment utilizing an addictions model. Later I focused on men, and substance use disorders. Problems can stem from using drugs as an unproductive coping skill to a deeper more physiologically based problem. Our first job together is to find what your specific problem looks like and then find a way forward that's suited to your needs. In addition I also offer services evaluating clients for Substance Use Disorders in Family Law and Criminal cases.

Now accepting new clients! Overwhelmed and frustrated by the demands of your life? Instead of enjoying your life, do you find yourself in patterns of numbing or escaping your life? While that provides some immediate relief, it also keeps you stuck. Often times, it's not just our current circumstances, but also our past experiences that keeps us from getting the momentum and satisfaction we desire in our life and relationships. Good news is you're not alone and therapy can provide the right environment for you to experience the growth and transformation you desire.

Do you feel not "enough"? Do you struggle with people-pleasing? Likely, you’ve spent much of your life hiding your true self—shaping yourself to fit what others want or accept. You may find yourself in relationships or situations with people who just don't "get" you. Somewhere along the way, you were taught that expressing yourself is wrong—that you should hide your emotions or needs because they're not okay. You have no idea what you need or you fear you will be rejected for having needs at all. You feel alone in your relationships, yearning for community of people who accept you for you.

You're looking to make a change. Whether you're wanting to improve your relationships, navigate a life transition, better understand your emotions, or learn new ways to cope with depression or anxiety, therapy is a great place to start. And even so, it can be difficult to make the adjustments you want without the right support. I believe that we flourish when we find relationships that encourage us to accept ourselves fully, challenge us when we're stuck, and honor our unique perspectives.

I'm glad you're here.
At my core, I believe in liberation- on a collective and individual level; freedom from all systems of oppression, and freedom from the ghosts of trauma that haunt us.
My clients are often those who have been told they are "too much," feel like the black sheep, or are leaders, creatives, or generational curse breakers. The bulk of my clients are neurodivergent people of color, highly sensitive, or live somewhere on the spectrum.

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.
