Allow me to help you navigate life’s adversities. I would like to help you discover your strengths, and move toward self-acceptance. Your confidentiality will be maintained in a safe, and welcoming environment. We can cope with better understanding, and a renewed perspective.

We must consider ourselves in the context of our environment and experiences; but also remember that our problems and experiences do not define who we are. Willingness, motivation, and a positive therapeutic alliance are critical in making positive changes.

Men's mental health issues, whether it's relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, or parenting are complex and deeply personal.
Do you feel stuck in your life, your past, your anxiety, depression, anger, apathy, overwhelm, grief, or PTSD? As a man, it's hard to seek help. You don't have to carry the weight of your struggles alone. All men feel sad, afraid, anxious, doubtful, amongst other feelings. You're still a man. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can find the support and guidance to fix the problem. If you fully invest in this process, expect to feel lighter, more effective, efficient, powerful, and clear about where you want to go and what you want to do with your life. While I specialize in men, I love serving people of all kinds.

My ideal client is looking for something more. They are lost in what feels like nothing more than a bunch of rules and rigidity that has never really served them well. Their goals are to feel fulfilled, but they are lost as to how to achieve that. They have tried the rules and only come up empty handed. They were taught that happiness is the only acceptable emotion to feel and that if they feel anything else that something is wrong with them. That makes life so limiting, and I want to show them another way that allows them too actually live fulfilled. My ideal client is looking for meaning, purpose, and peace beyond the rules.

Therapy is a collaborative process where one can explore their thoughts, behaviors and emotions and how those can have an impact on our mental health, interpersonal relationships, and overall daily functioning. There is a power in embracing vulnerability and learning to accept oneself and identify areas where one may want to improve to get where they want to be. I enjoy helping my clients to make meaningful connections and navigate the challenges that life tends to throw at us.

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.
