Relationship counseling and career counseling. Career and relationships. Focusing on these two areas allows me to help you in these important parts of your life.
Clients tell me that I understand what they are going through. Maybe like you, I have experienced some "turbulence" in my career and stressful times in my relationship. If you can't find a meaningful job, or if you're troubled by your relationship with a loved one -- partner, child, sibling, or parent -- I feel I can help. I would enjoy speaking with you, too!

I believe therapy helps us understand the power of the mind. This is especially useful when we feel disconnected, marginalized, or stigmatized. When we feel this way, learning how the mind channels this information through thoughts, feelings, emotions, and perceptions, can influence us to recognize our own cognitive processes and how they impact our life. If we attend to our cognitive processes in a healthy way, it may lead to regulation of mood, clarity, balance and feelings of peace. We start to evolve and accept certain things about ourselves. We begin to feel at peace from within. I help my clients through this process.

We'll explore what's not working and I'll help you make changes so life can be better. If this is your first time working with a psychotherapist, I'll do my best to explain how therapy works. Good counseling is always a collaboration.

I work exclusively with adults in both individual and group psychotherapy. My primary focus is on relational issues.Over thirty years of practicing psychotherapy have taught me that the cornerstone for happiness and mental health is directly related to a person's capacity to establish and maintain healthy interpersonal relationships.
The research on this is pretty impressive. People who have healthy relationships and a supportive network of friends and family have fewer mental health problems like depression and anxiety, live longer, have less physical and emotional illness, and if they become ill, they recover more quickly.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging. What should you look for? How do you find a good fit? What should you expect? These are common questions that many people have when trying to find a therapist. And at times, it can feel overwhelming. My best advice? Find someone you feel you'll be able to open up to. More important than the letters behind their name, more important than where they went to school, more important than their credentials or areas of expertise is their ability to connect with you! YOU are why we are here!

*Currently accepting new clients* Lots of people know that they need to make a shift or change in their lives but need a warm, supportive therapist and a chance to lean into the difficult areas of their lives. I’m an especially good fit for folks who appreciate the use of humor and lightheartedness in the work, but also want to move deeper and connect with themselves and their emotions in new ways, instead of always having to compartmentalize or “tough it out” with their emotions. My areas of clinical focus include therapy for men and mindfulness practices, but I also work well with lots of different people.

I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, families, and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar, stress, and relationship difficulties. My approach is guided by the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model, a third wave cognitive behavioral way of working with clients that incorporates mindfulness. I believe that the foundation to healthy functioning starts with sleep, diet, exercise, and mindfulness. I work with clients on a combination of self-compassion, changing behavioral habits, and changing cognitive habits.

You’re struggling to find some motivation. Mounting pressure in your work environment. Or maybe you’re looking to assert yourself more in your relationship. Sometimes, life’s stressors can hit us hard, rendering us helpless. When this happens, we don’t always act in our best self interest. But, there are ways that we can increase our mental well-being. I believe that in order to affect change, we have to understand and explore the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Clients that I have had the pleasure of working with are hopeful of having the tools to adequately manage life’s next hiccup.

Some stories are just too hard for us to tell on our own and some will cause us pain just because we are still stuck in the middle of it. Stories can cause us to feel anxiety, stress, depression, confusion, and anger. They can even cause us to do things that we know are not helpful, even harmful, to cope with the negative feelings. I have a passion for people's stories and walking with people through the painful but enriching process of getting unstuck. Wherever you find yourself, you are welcome to come exactly as you are.

Sometimes anxiety, depression or low self-esteem issues can come on slowly or, at times, quickly overwhelm us. No matter how these issues happen it helps to have someone to listen to and support you through those times. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for my clients where they can slow down and start to take apart those issues piece by piece so they can be better understood and dealt with. I use many different counseling styles but, ultimately, I want my clients to feel like they are just having a conversation about the struggles in their lives.

I center my work on the challenges that men from varied backgrounds face in living their most fulfilling lives. where therapy is concerned, I see 'man' as a starting point for any person that identifies in their own way with the word, the concept. Gender is one of our most deeply-rooted identities; creating your own definitions can be life changing. I work with men who want to connect to the people they care about, men entering different phases of their lives looking for empathy & understanding, men struggling to communicate with their partners & men investigating the values and beliefs they were taught.

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.
