I have experience working within addiction/recovery, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and men's issues.
My approach with clients is to first create a foundation of trust. I’m not afraid to go into the trenches with my clients and help find a way out of those trenches. I work collaboratively with my clients through a person centered lens, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused techniques.

I believe that through a strong empathic working relationship, clients are capable of finding clarity and contentment in their lives. It is my job to help you through difficult times and provide you with the tools necessary to move on in your lives in a healthy way.

I seek to walk alongside individuals & couples who may be experiencing a valley of difficulty or pain; or those who may be on the mountain exploring new growth & opportunities. I am particularly interested in working with men and boys who may be struggling with sexual concerns; or couples affected by sexual issues such as pornography, infidelity, or sexual addiction. I also believe that we are a product of our experiences, and that they affect the lens by which we do life, until we are able to process through those "traumas." I am also a Veteran, retiring after 20 years of military service. I enjoy spending time with my wife!

Men and women are different, and guys have very specific counseling needs. A lot of men cringe at the thought of counseling, and understandably so. My goal is to show the guy who hates the idea of counseling how helpful it can be and that masculinity isn't inherently negative. Being a man is a good thing and being a good man is even better. My PhD research was on help-seeking behavior in men. I know that making that first phone call seems terrifying, but you owe it to yourself to give this a shot. You owe it to yourself to be well.

Relationships affect every aspect of our lives whether it be marital or partner-related, interpersonal, familial, or parental. When we have conflict with those that we care about it can bring about a feeling of helplessness or frustration, it becomes tiring on the soul. If the goal of the individual is to improve their interactions with the people they love, it is important that they first understand their relationship with themselves. Therapy is an incredible tool for self-discovery and improvement.

Another day underway... Went to bed exhausted, woke up the same way. Spent an hour last night staring at the ceiling…drift off and bam, time to wake up. Living the dream...not. More like another frickin' long day...spent 20 minutes (you didn't have) searching for your keys. Driving to work, everyone's out to piss you off with their driving. Cut off twice, honked at, and the person tapping their brakes 100 times pushed you over the edge. 15-hour work shifts draining what little energy you have. Mind's all over the place. Overwhelmed and stuck. On your 4th argument of the week with your partner, it’s only Wednesday.

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.
