I work with people dealing with emotional problems that manifest as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. The encounters with emotions seem powerful, overwhelming, and mysterious. They may feel so powerful, that you push away, stuff down, use substances, or even allow the emotions to direct your actions and thoughts. It can feel confusing of how you can build strength to overcome emotional wounds. How do you make sense of what doesn’t always make sense? Exploring your emotions with a therapist can be healing and encouraging.

They want to improve their well-being, reduce the impact of pain, and find ways to live more fully, with support that respects their experience and empowers them to move forward.

Are you in a relationship and still feel alone? Do you find yourself feeling angry all the time? Have you started to lose hope in your relationship? It doesn't have to be that way. Most couples learn that it isn't their partner they are tired of, rather the problem is the negative cycle that takes over every time they try to talk or connect. Individually, we can focus on easing anxiety and depression, boosting your self-esteem and setting boundaries where necessary.

Therapy is an opportunity to engage in a healing relationship unlike most others. The focus is on you: your feelings, your thoughts, your strengths, and insecurities. My job is to support you as you work your way toward understanding, accepting, and growing into yourself. Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, perceptions, and beliefs about oneself and others, understanding how and why self-defeating or painful patterns of living have developed, and discovering how to modify them. I am committed to helping you discover and speak the truth of your experience, including parts of you that may have been left unspoken and unlived.

I practice Non-dual therapy, also known as non-dual counseling or non-dual psychology, which is a form of therapy that focuses on helping individuals to recognize and understand the true nature of their being and to cultivate a sense of inner peace and well-being. Non-dual therapy typically involves exploring and questioning the individual's thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions about other people and situations and helping them to develop a deeper understanding of their true nature and the interconnectedness of all things. This can involve meditation, mindfulness, self-inquiry, and more traditional forms of psychotherapy.

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.
