Male Therapists in First Hill, Seattle, WA

The alliance we build as client and therapist is a necessary and very important part of the therapeutic process. I carefully assess each individuals or couples strengths, history of relationships, sense of self, developmental status, learning styles, symptoms and readiness to change. I believe that what you find helpful to talk about in each session is most important. You and I will develop a treatment plan based upon these factors, your experience, my professional experience, research findings and what you would like to accomplish in therapy. I have a general practice and also have areas of specialty.

Sometimes life feels too big, too complex, and too messy to get your head around. If you're ready to make changes in your life, but aren't sure where to start, I can help you develop a plan to make it happen. I can support you in your desire to stop destructive behaviors and create new, healthier ways of living. We go at a pace that is comfortable for you, taking on problems one-at-a-time. Together we tackle the things that are keeping you from the kind of life you want to live.

Looking for someone to be in your corner? I work with clients on their immediate pressing needs, shed light on strengths and areas for growth, and collaborate on client goals until they are achieved. What kind of therapeutic space do you prefer? I can hold the gentle, provide a gentle push, or be direct. Let's move through your current issue together, and learn things along the way to increase your awareness, confidence, and skills. Let's team up and help you grow and thrive beyond counseling. I'm happy to meet with you for a free consult.

I seek to create a warm, down-to-earth, and accepting experience for you to explore the hard-ass things in life. Many of us, myself included, were rarely taught how to connect with and understand our emotions, and so when we experience difficult feelings like shame, fear, and pain, we don’t know how to engage them in a helpful way. But that can change. We will work together to promote positive change and restore direction, meaning, and resilience during these difficult times. We will be teammates in our work together.

Hi there, How could I be of service to you? Throughout my many lessons taught and learned, I’ve realized that life is a school and earth is a classroom of many lessons. I’ve learned to cooperate with the ebb and flow of life and to co-create with the universe. It is my intention to align with other souls who are in a place within their life in which they aspire to grow and expand within. It's time to make the necessary changes in your life now. Reach out, I promise, you are in safe hands...

Love. Joy. Ecstasy. Awe. In my 16 years of clinical experience, I’ve discovered that we each have far more capacity for these expansive feelings than we often realize. Whether you are struggling to get through the daily grind, or feel ready to fly through the stars, I can work with you collaboratively to shape a life that fulfills your highest dreams, and maybe even soars beyond them! I’m eager to share what I’ve learned about our abilities to break out of old patterns of shame, hurt, and fear into fruitful creativity and communion with the most inspiring aspects of being alive.

I believe that personal growth is a lifelong endeavor. People can grow and change if they are willing to invest the time, given the tools, and if they are provided with support. As your therapist, I will help you achieve self-awareness, satisfaction, and happiness. I want you to become the best version of yourself and for you to be in satisfying relationships. I possess experience working with individuals of all orientations and genders and with couples on various issues ranging from the simple to the complex.

Life not quite what you expected? Come in and we can turn it around together. I have training and experience with a variety of issues including substance and non-substance addictions, deafness and hearing loss, relationship problems, depression, anxiety, adjusting to life changes, grief and loss, divorce, identifying and evolving toward life goals. Intimacy, improving self-esteem, self-confidence, and ability to communicate are often areas that people chose to work on. Sharing your life with another can be joyful and difficult. Therapy is a neutral place to explore the relationship.

I enjoy working with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and concerns. Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, life stressors, work or relationship dissatisfaction, grief, the impact from trauma, trouble adjusting to life transitions or illness, sleep problems, OCD, phobias, substance use issues or some other problem? I want to help you reach your optimal health, which may include both mental and physical health goals. I know it can be difficult to share such personal experiences with a new person, so it’s important to me to create a trusting bond to work on your concerns.

I strive to always bring my own sense of authenticity to every session as I believe that therapy at its core is successful due to the relationship between clinician and client. As your therapist I will promise to be consistently present, challenge you gently but firmly when you need me to, and to empathetically and truly care about what you have to say. I have fourteen years of experience in the mental health field addressing issues ranging from depression and anxiety to substance use to feelings around gender and sexuality. I work with individuals and families but also have a strong passion in working with couples and relationships

***Accepting New Clients*** Nobody knows you better than yourself. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, loss, or adjustment to the pandemic, I am here to listen and help, without judgement. Together, we will work to understand you and how to make positive, lasting changes. The feedback my clients give me is they feel heard and understood in ways they have rarely experienced before.

I have been honored that people have felt comfortable and safe enough in sessions to discuss their most private experiences and thoughts. People often come to see me because they're struggling to keep up with their obligations between family, career, friends, and their own self care. The frustrations sour feelings toward work and relationships. Loved ones start to notice that your temperament is not the same - you're crankier or more aloof. You may feel lonely and disconnected. Sometimes you don't even know what got you upset in the first place.
