Hello and welcome! Life often throws us into a whirlwind of societal expectations, dictating how we should live, who we should spend our time with, and what our lives should conform to. This constant pressure can leave us feeling overwhelmed and detached from who we actually want to be. Within my practice, I provide a safe and secure space where we can confront and challenge these societal expectations, empowering you to lead life on your own terms.

I consider the counseling relationship to be a partnership in which one seeks an understanding of the problems that are affecting one's life and learns of strategies that will help alleviate them. Problems are manifested in anxiety, depression, or other stress-related problems such as sleeplessness, tension and the inability to enjoy life, family or activities. ALL are attempts to cope with problems. Since this partnership is based on trust and mutual respect, it is important that the client meet a professional who can best address those problems, and has the experience to know when and how to implement changes.

Are you feeling that things are bleak and hopeless? Are you struggling with the reminders of difficult experiences in your past? Or maybe you are living with a chronic illness that has lowered your quality of life. We all feel the pull not only to survive but to thrive in our lives. Depression, anxiety, trauma, illness, and pain can limit our ability to reach our goals or even make it difficult to get through the day. These limitations are not a personal failing. Sometimes it takes a trained specialist to help us overcome or manage these personal challenges.

It is a courageous thing to ask for help, and for many of us it can be terrifying to acknowledge our own needs.
The world can be a confusing and painful place, and we all need places of safety where we can make sense of ourselves and the things we're going through. My hope is that therapy can offer a space where you will feel seen, receive support, and gain insight into the things you've already been through and everything you're experiencing today. It can be easy to put our own needs aside when other things feel more urgent, and I want to create a space where you and your needs get to be a consistent priority.

Mental health challenges are more than a diagnosis. From neurochemical imbalances such as ADHD to emotional disturbances like major depression, the symptoms and impact differ for each person. Larger issues such as life direction, personal ethics, and the family expectations we grew up with all result in different responses to overwhelming emotions and situations. Your mental health journey should be a collaborative experience that rises to meet your needs and supports you through your challenges. I am here to help you find your path and walk with you, even if you aren't yet sure where you are traveling.

TRANS-Generational TRAUMA is at the ROOT of much of our suffering. We often develop maladaptive coping strategies and enact the same repeated dysfunctional patterns unconsciously until our insight/awareness increases. I work with clients who are interested in physical, spiritual, and psychological transformation. My clients have tried medication cocktails, endless hours of psychotherapy, and are still struggling with emotional distress. They are tired of the biochemical ONLY model and wish to be treated holistically to meet their individual needs. If medication is warranted, I strive to utilize the lowest effective dose possible.

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.
