Q&As

Providing therapy is an honor that I hold with the utmost respect and care. It takes courage to reach out for help. I work hard to ensure that I make that process as positive and effective as I can.

I started my private therapy practice so that I can provide direct care to those in need. I enjoy cultivating a business with integrity and purpose.

My approach to therapy is one of positive regard, non-judgment and genuineness. I have a warm, welcoming and light presence. Many clients that I have worked with leave sessions feeling more insightful, hopeful and grounded.

I have extensive experience working with adolescents on a variety of issues: depression, anxiety, mood swings, drug and alcohol use, parent-child conflict, school related issues, bullying, self-esteem and identify, self-harm, and suicidality.

As your adolescent therapist I focus on empowerment and acceptance. Don't continue to struggle alone. Reach out for help now. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation.

Break out of rigid male gender expectations and become free to be you. Don't suffer alone.
There are pros and cons to how we were socialized as men. Growing up, what were you taught about what it means to be a man? How was masculinity portrayed? Rigid beliefs about how we are supposed to think, feel and behave as men can exacerbate our troubles. Are you struggling with issues of anger, depression, power and control, identify, role expectations, fatherhood, body-image, career, or academic problems? As men, we were discouraged from asking for help. Challenge that restrictive and ineffective belief. Don't struggle alone. I have a non-judgmental and accepting style of therapy. Reach out for help now. Call or e-mail me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.
