Thank you for viewing my counseling profile. I have had the privilege of working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and challenges. I have helped individuals working through issues related to self-esteem, depression, anxiety, various addictions, and relational or life transition issues. Many of the people that I have worked with share a common trait regardless of the reason they seek counseling: previous trauma(s).

I am accepting new clients. I help clients who seek to increase their strengths, awareness, openness, flexibility, intelligence (IQ and EQ), resiliency, create empowering processes and solutions leading to meaningful life engagement, and improving quality of life. I have worked with all ages, backgrounds and issues, individuals, couples and families. I have found the best predictor of effective therapy is how well the client connects with the therapist. I am open to working with all people, cultures and conditions.

Witnessing our mental landscapes can be uncomfortable. We often get caught in patterns of thought that are as chaotic and unpredictable as the weather. We might wish for clear blue skies when what we have is a lightning storm, or for a sunset to never end as night quickly approaches. But it is this very yearning that makes us suffer, and it is embracing the inevitable transience of this moment that sets us free. We can’t control the weather, no matter how hard we strive. We can learn how to walk confidently in the direction we want to go, even in the pouring rain.

My personal philosophy is that through human connection, we can foster the motivation needed to take brave steps toward seeing an old pattern through a new perspective to create positive change. Therapy serves as a road map, illuminating the path so the client can make conscious choices. My attitude is one of respect and acceptance of each client's self-image and world-view allowing for the creation of a safe, therapeutic container.

Accepting new clients. I work with both individuals and couples. Areas of individual focus include coping with depression/anxiety, sleep issues, family or relationship struggles, addiction and recovery, life and career transitions, sexuality, mid-life issues, and emerging adults struggling with academics or early adulthood issues. In my work with couples I work on issues ranging from communication/conflict, intimacy, life transitions, rebuilding connection, family dynamics, and relational betrayals/infidelity. I draw from the Gottman’s work, Esther Perel’s work, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy among others.

There may also be difficulties with delaying gratification, impulse control, memory, and feelings of restlessness. These symptoms impact work, school, friendships, family, intimate relationships, and overall quality of life. An accurate assessment of AD/HD is an important step toward getting help.

“Change occurs when one becomes what they are, not when they try to become what they are not." It is my most humble intention to make sure my clients feel they can bring all parts and intersections of their identity into therapy and be greeted free from judgment, with deep care and full acceptance. This is where I feel healing and transformation begin. I see therapy both as being a space for short term problem solving - organizing your thoughts and intentions around a pressing issue or life stressor; and/or a space where healing old wounds and profound growth and transformation is possible.

We all have moments in life when we become stuck in unhelpful patterns & have a hard time seeing a path forward toward living the life we want. One of my goals is to help you identify stuck areas in your life & what might be keeping you there, & to work with you to find ways forward that are in-line with your goals & values. I describe therapy as a team sport. I'm very collaborative & find that we often make the most progress when we both bring our unique strengths into the mix. It is important to me to understand your goals, values, & cultural context, so I can tailor my approach to best align with them.

At it's core, therapy is about transformation. Usually, the aim of changing our life requires confronting changing something about our self. Through the therapeutic relationship, I can help you to explore with curiosity how the problems of your present may have been useful solutions in the past. Through this process we can transform old, restrictive patterns and create space for new ways of being and experiencing.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS**Struggling to connect in your relationship? Finding yourself misunderstood and lonely? These are the common situations that couples find themselves in. Imagine feeling understood and having a shared vision for your relationship. You can be on the same page as your partner. You can experience being known and loved... not inspite of your shortcomings but because of them. There are two types of people, those who continue to complain (being a victim to their patterns of dysfunction) and those who decide they are going to be responsible for creating health in the relationship they are in. Which are you going to be?

I seek long-term relationships with clients. The foundation of a client / therapist relationship, and all relationships, is trust. We take time to build rapport and establish sincere trust on the way toward forming a therapeutic alliance. It's often the case clients underlying issue is lack of trust in themselves and/or in their relationships, regardless of the "disorder", or lack there of. Whether living with a severe & persistent mental illness, or adjusting to a current challenge in life, my goal as a counselor is to provide a comfortable, reliable long-term therapeutic relationship that provides guidance, growth & healing.

I work with a wide range of people who are experiencing difficulties with various aspects of their lives, including emotional struggles (extreme moods, sadness and grief, discouragement, anxiety), relationship problems (with partners, relatives, friends, society at large), difficulties letting go of negative past experiences or patterns, and difficulties identifying or realizing desires for the future. By providing an open space in which they can speak freely, and by encouraging and sustaining their search for their own truth and desires, I work with them to facilitate the discovery of solutions and amelioration of suffering.

I have a passion for working with clients surrounding Depression, Anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Developmental Trauma, & Grief and Loss. I believe individuals have the ability to change when given the opportunity. Many of us have learned ways of thinking and doing that seemed to work at the time but have created problems for us later. We then target ourselves, adding a lot of shame regarding the outcomes, which in turn creates more distress. I enjoy helping individuals learn to accept themselves and to work with themselves to heal, rather than continuing to shame themselves.

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.
