Speaking about issues which you find to be specific to men is paramount in your quest for feeling better about yourself and your life. It helps dissolve the divide you may feel between yourself and the rest of the world. From self-esteem to relationships to depression, men's issues weaves its way through it all.

Men come to see me for a wide range of reasons. Sometimes my male clients are seeking support or guidance around a transition or life event and find that they're not sure who they can trust with their innermost thoughts. Sometimes it's that they find they have reached the goals they set out to reach but don't quite feel satisfied. Other times, men come to see me when a relationship with a loved one is feeling challenging. Feeling listened to without judgment can be a

I offer a supportive space for men to explore and address challenges related to identity, emotional expression, and personal growth. This includes men who have historically been skeptical of therapy yet find themselves seeking support. Whether it's societal expectations, relationship dynamics, parenting, or self-esteem, we can create a space to unpack the challenges we often face. Embracing both strengths and vulnerabilities, we can move towards a more fulfilling, authentic life.

Most men are brought up hearing expressions such as "don't cry" and "man up". These implicit messages from family, friends, and culture cause males to create protective and sometimes maladaptive coping mechanisms around their feelings. Ironically, men are taught not to express feelings in their youth and then expected to show emotional intimacy in adult relationships. I help men explore their repressed feelings and authentic express them in a way that invites deeper connections with others.

Men face many issues today that can make it hard to feel comfortable in our skin sometimes. It is possible to celebrate the strength and honor men tend to understand naturally without feeling less than or devalued for who we are. Toxic masculinity can be a dangerous trap. I believe it's important for men to embrace ourselves before we can have the deep compassion and generosity to be all we can for those we love.

My passion is to help men overcome struggles that may be a byproduct of an outdated view of masculinity. I can help empower men to build emotional intelligence, communicate emotion with assertiveness and respect, overcome shame and manage anger. This starts with an exploration of family system, social support, or societal influence which may contribute to irrational beliefs about men.

These days understanding what it means “to be a man” can be full of mixed messages. Typically, these "rules" of masculinity come from the environments men developed in but were internalized so young that it can seem like they are the natural or correct way. I work with men to examine many of the expectations they contend with and decide what should be embraced or left behind.

Many men struggle with emotional expression, self-worth, and societal expectations of masculinity. Whether you feel stuck, disconnected, or pressured to “have it all together,” therapy can help you navigate relationships, self-doubt, and personal growth. I provide a space free of judgment, where you can explore vulnerability, identity, and the deeper aspects of what it means to be you.

Working with men on attachment and relationship issues, I focus on understanding how early attachment patterns may be affecting current relationships. By using approaches such as Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I help men explore their emotional experiences, break down barriers to vulnerability, and develop healthier ways of connecting. My goal is to create a supportive space where men can address relationship challenges and build stronger, more secure connections with others.

Men and boys are too often expected to not show or feel vulnerable emotions. Instead, we are expected to power through, to compete, and be tough. Over years, this has the effect of cutting us off from the sensitive parts of ourselves that are capable of feeling deep connection with ourselves and others. It is this love, compassion, and belonging that most of us want most in life. I help men to become aware of the ways they've been taught to cut themselves off from these beautiful qualities.

As a provider focused on men's mental health, I understand the unique challenges men face in seeking psychiatric care. I offer a straightforward, solution-focused approach that resonates with male clients. We address common concerns like work stress, relationship challenges, and difficulty expressing emotions, while managing conditions such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I recognize that many men prefer direct communication about their mental health and medication options.

Associated with the mental health challenges that stem from emotional repression, harmful stereotyping, and other examples of "toxic masculinity."

Men are often told that it is a weakness to express their emotional pain, thus many men either find themselves suffering in silence or acting out in ineffective ways. My role as a therapist is to deconstruct harmful ideas about masculinity and help my male clients see that there is strength in vulnerability.

I have worked with men for over 16 years on issues peculiar to men that include anger management difficulties, infidelity and other relationship difficulties as well as other impulse control problems, including sexual offending.

Trauma therapy helps men navigate the unique challenges they face, from emotional suppression to relationship struggles and self-doubt. It provides a space to process past wounds, break unhealthy patterns, and build confidence in expressing thoughts and emotions. By addressing the root causes of anger, shame, or isolation, therapy helps men develop healthier relationships, improve emotional regulation, and feel more in control of their lives.
