I am a trauma-informed therapist who believes many of our problems come from how we respond to or avoid difficult thoughts, memories, feelings, and experiences. Anxiety, depression, grief, and uncertainty can all be a part of life. What is important is learning how to navigate them so they don't take control. Are you suffering from anxiety, worry, depression, or grief? Have you suffered trauma? Are you feeling overwhelmed, losing hope, or just wanting things to be different? You're not alone, and I believe you can make it through.

I look forward to assisting those curious about taking a closer look at their life and the problems that come with it. We will work together to better understand where these problems started and what we can do to address them. This may sound intimidating to some, but you will be surprised how it feels more like a conversation than anything. Comfort in our sessions together will always be a priority first and foremost. It is normal to feel stiff or awkward at first, after all, you are talking to a stranger about the most personal things in your life, so take your time.

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. The difference is how we interpret and deal with life’s events. 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.

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.
