We inhabit a world that demands that we constantly cope with it. At times, with all the coping, a part of our spirit may become so heavy with ache and despair that we begin to wish that part would vanish forever so we can find relief. But it is often that very part calling out for care, love, and tenderness. Perhaps you are tired of "coping," and you ache for healing, a greater capacity to truly rest, or a stronger sense of meaning and self-love. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+ folks, or abuse survivors - adults who deal with profound personal trauma and loss, issues of identity, depression, anxiety, shame, and loneliness.

Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? You don’t have to go it alone. I help adults navigate challenges such as relationship struggles (including divorce—see my support group info below), career stress, parenting concerns, chronic pain, and grief. I also specialize in supporting those who have been hurt by religion or are in the process of deconstruction and spiritual exploration. It is common to experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and other symptoms in response to difficult circumstances – but with the right support, growth and healing are possible.

Life can be overwhelming and talking to someone who can offer support, insight and encouragement can make all the difference in achieving transformational growth. I believe therapy is a deeply personal process, and as I join you on that road, the most important things I can bring are authentic compassion and non-judgmental curiosity. Navigating the roadblocks within ourselves is not always an easy process and my style highlights humor as an incredible tool to manage the sometimes difficult process.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate sleep issues, anxiety, panic attacks, and perfectionism. My clients are often high-achievers who feel caught between their own exacting standards and external expectations, searching for inner peace and efficient rest. I often work with people who have devoted so much energy to caring for others that they've lost touch with their own needs and voice.

I invite you into a space meant for discovery, acceptance, and expression. A place where you can make sense of the lived experiences we are thrown within as people and arrive at a deeper understanding of your authentic being - your true self. Most psychological symptoms and disorders, like depression and anxiety, are a sign of something being out of place. Distress alleviates when we become more aligned, both internally and externally, with our true beliefs and desires. Everyone experiences suffering in one way or another and everyone needs support to thrive. We are in this together!

My work is grounded in curiosity and a deep trust in your capacity to change. While therapy can help with specific problems or symptoms, I also see it as an opportunity to engage with life more fully and discover new ways of seeing yourself and your situation.

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.

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.
