Do you want to feel more confident, more fulfilled, and more connected with yourself and with others? Do you want to treat yourself with more acceptance, compassion, and self-care? And, do you want to feel like you are living more grounded in the present moment? Sometimes, our past hurts and traumas can affect how we see ourselves, other people, and the world around us. They can affect our thoughts, feelings, and actions. And, they can cause us to act in ways that hurt the ones we love and go against our values, morals, and principles. We all want a life of meaning and purpose. I can help you achieve this.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my professional services. Finding the right therapist is as much about experience as it is about fit. That is why I tell everyone I meet that our first session is not only a chance for me to get to know you, but also for you to get to know me. Having worked with individuals, couples, and families for over ten years, I have learned that life is hard enough as it is. You don't have to continue going it alone. We all could use a little extra help every once in a while, so why not reach out and see what we can accomplish together.

When you or your relationship are suffering, it can feel impossible to create lasting change. Throw stressors of big decisions, work, family or past/present trauma into the mix and it’s no wonder we feel lost at times. I want to join you right in the middle of your greatest struggle. In your time with me, you’ll find the empathetic guidance needed to process unheard pain and sort out misunderstood anger. Together we can transform damaging patterns within yourself or relationship into connection and confidence. We start where you are, doubts and questions included, and discover how your steps toward positive change will continue.

As we travel the roads of life, it is common for us to encounter a variety of challenges along the way. These challenges surface in our marriages, with our relatives, our children, in our careers and even in our spiritual relationships. Most of the time we are able to overcome these challenges on our own, but sometimes we need a little help to get us back on track. Whether it's an unfaithful spouse, a difficult teen, family drama, or difficulty accomplishing personal goals, therapy can help you make the changes you desire.

Sometimes it may feel like we are “just getting by”, but most of us yearn for something a little more than where we currently stand. And we want to feel better especially in the quiet moments. It may look like climbing out of the pit of addiction, or finally putting boundaries on unhealthy relationships or getting personal struggles under control. As a military career veteran, I feel that I can offer a unique perspective and approach to problem solving and goal setting. My experiences have cultivated an insight into human behavior, both in the quiet times and in the height of intensity that few therapist can replicate.

Let’s face it, life can be difficult. After all, life does not come with an owner’s manual and there is no contract signed between you and life. Success can be a burden, responsibility can be difficult and goals hard to achieve. So many obstacles, real and imagined can cloud our judgment. What do I do? Where do I belong? Am I happy doing what I do and where I am?

Life is difficult, stressful, and complex, and no one is exempted from encountering pitfalls in life. However, you don't have to allow the negative effects of a misfortune to negatively dominate your life for no longer than it should. As normal as it is to be knocked off your feet by a critical incident in your life, it is also normal to be resilient and get back on your feet by the power of the Holy Spirit. As a Christian, and Pastor and Clinical Christian Counselor I am available to listen to your story and offer Biblical tools to assist in your restoration.

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.
