You’ve got questions?

My office is located in the town of Windham, Maine.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. Many clients, however, are able to receive partial reimbursement for therapy through their insurance plan.

You can learn more about fees, insurance, and how out-of-network reimbursement works — including a tool to check your benefits — here.

Yes, I offer both. For those who can travel to my office in Windham, I offer in-person sessions. For everyone else, I offer virtual sessions through a secure video platform.

My session fees vary depending on the type of service. I’m committed to being transparent about costs, while also offering context around insurance and out-of-network reimbursement.

You can find current session fees and information about insurance and reimbursement here.

Individual, couples and family sessions are 50 minutes in length unless otherwise arranged.

Group sessions range from 60 to 90 minutes.

You can expect zero pressure coming from me. Therapy is a vulnerable undertaking, and everyone has their own way, and their own pace, of forming new relationships and opening up to people.

We’ll decide together how to use our time in the first session. Usually it’s some combination of you telling me more about what brings you to therapy, and me asking you questions about your life and your history, so I can start to get to know you.

You’re welcome to interview me as well. I am never a closed book. Trust is a two-way street.

It’s also possible that we’ll do some form of guided meditation or grounding exercise to calm whatever ‘first meeting anxiety’ you may have.

This is a great question. The short answer is: it’s entirely up to you. It depends largely on what your goals are.

Are you currently in some form of life crisis? If you simply want some basic help getting out of ‘crisis mode’ and that’s all, this can often be more short-term work (a few months). Depending on the issue, sometimes just talking with someone about it for a few months can restore a sense of balance and stability.

If on the other hand you have some long-term struggles you need help addressing, or you really want to peel back all layers and strive for deeper healing, this can take longer. Some people stay in therapy for a few years.

If you’ve never really gone deep with someone before, and you really want to get to the root of your problems, you’ll want to approach therapy with some patience and an open mind. You may find that the benefits motivate you to stick it out for a while. Like a new health practice or a New Year’s resolution, you don’t get the full benefit if you only commit yourself halfway.

I work with humans. Though men’s mental health is my specialty area, I work with women too, as well as people who don’t identify with the gender binary.

Absolutely! I love working with couples and families. If you’d like to learn more about how I approach couples therapy, click here. For family therapy, click here.‍ ‍

The two most important factors that lead to a transformative experience in therapy are:

1. An open mind (a willingness to try something new)
2. Total honesty (being as unfiltered as possible, revealing every part of your inner experience, especially if it feels risky)

Joining a men’s group can be a powerful step toward growth and healing. It’s also a big commitment. The groups I run are far from casual. They are intentional spaces to honestly examine yourself in the presence of others who are doing the same. The men in my groups often describe the closeness they develop with each other as being “like family”. You will be challenged and supported in ways that can profoundly change your life, if you fully commit to the process.

Most of the time, I require new clients to begin with me in individual therapy first. Once we’ve made some progress one-on-one, I may invite you into one of my groups. This is a common “step two” in the healing process for many men.

Occasionally, if someone feels especially called to join a men’s group and they have already done some personal healing work, I will open the door right away. The initial commitment is 12 weeks.
