I have been a therapist since 1985, specializing in all types of relationship issues, anxiety, depression, traumatic events, co-parenting, long-term substance use recovery, and adult children of alcoholic or dysfunctional families.

Everyone has a unique set of concerns and goals. However, some things most of us have in common are poor self-image, relational dysregulation, and a general dissatisfaction with life stemming directly from shame we experienced as young children. These unfortunate truths in combination with unhealthy societal influences have led to depression being the 2nd most costly and debilitating disease in the world. Some common goals for my clients are developing effective coping skills, improving relational skills, and increasing emotional regulation. I am confident in my ability to help anyone find sustainable peace and happiness in life.

Early on in my college career, I had to face depression and anxiety head-on. At that point, I became more aware of my own limitations in understanding and addressing them. It was through this time that ignited my passion to pursue the knowledge and tools of psychology. Driven by a desire to not only further comprehend the human mind but also to assist those who, like me, found themselves experiencing mental health challenges. By imparting the knowledge, tools, and the undeniable efficacy of storytelling in the realm of mental health, I hope to empower individuals to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery and healing.

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.
