Men's Issues

In many ways, the world is changing for the better. Unfortunately, the way we were raised has not prepared us for these changes, and old ideas and beliefs may be creating stress, burden, and confusion without giving us the tools to meet the moment. I help men make sense of the changing landscape of expectations, and guide them in tapping into the deep inner resources that allow them to overcome fears, release themselves from the past, and step fully into their best selves.

Men and women are similar in so many ways and men and women are vastly different in many ways as well. I love celebrating our differences as much as our similarities. Assisting men learn to express themselves emotionally and learning to deal with life in differing ways is a great joy of mine within practicing. Learning to identify and access differing parts of you is of paramount to overall life satisfaction within the relationships we are apart of.

I offer a supportive space for men navigating various challenges. From identity exploration to communication skills, I help clients foster self-awareness and develop healthy coping strategies. Together, we address societal pressures and explore ways to promote emotional well-being and authentic self-expression.

Men who are seeking therapy are often struggling with emotional expression, relationship difficulties, career pressures, fatherhood and family dynamics, and navigating life transitions. My approach is focused on helping you develop stronger communication skills, a better understanding of emotions and relationships, and a healthier work-life balance. Together, we'll explore strategies for personal growth, developing a more fulfilling life with stronger relationships.

Many men struggle with determining if they need healing. When we do recognize the need, we may not know how to begin the healing process. Being a whole, complete man is a state of existence that requires effort, work and dedication. I believe that I am the right therapist for you, because I understand and can relate to men’s unique life challenges. Please allow me to help you take these first crucial steps towards your mental and emotional wellness and healing.

Do you feel as if your voice hasn’t been heard or listened to? You know that something is wrong but can’t put your finger on it - you just know you need help. There’s a stigma surrounding men seeking help for their betterment that I want to help dispel. You need help to and I will work with you to figure out how to best solve any challenges that you face. We will work together and make sure that your voice will always be heard and listened to.

Let me support you in navigating issues specific to what it means to identify as male. I can offer a fresh perspective and experience working with men from a variety of backgrounds.

It’s a confusing time in history for men. Men have been told their whole life to “toughen up” and restrict their humanity to just “manly” emotions like anger. Now, society expects more emotional maturity from men, and they are called insensitive when behaving as has always been expected. Everyone deserves to be their truest self and not be held back by gender roles. I believe that patriarchy has hurt men, and they may find it healing to explore masculinity in a healthy way.

Body image issues in men just aren't talked about, are they? I want to help to change that. Our appearances are tied to our masculinity, which then brings up all kinds of issues about the toxic masculinity messages we were raised in. Maybe we even participated in that kind of regressive thinking when we were younger, and are trying to reconcile that with who we want to be now. While this is a binary description, I do this sort of work with all genders and sexual orientations.

Expressing tenderness and being emotionally open are important to nurturing healthy relationships with those around you, yet few men feel comfortable doing this. Often, anxiety, depression, anger, impatience, lack of confidence, and life and work stress get in the way. I help and support men in stepping over these hurdles and improving their relationships.

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

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.

As a counselor, it is my goal to help you gain awareness and insight into your current stressors and emotions.

Men's issues encompass a broad spectrum of emotional and psychological challenges that often go unrecognized or unaddressed. Men are indoctrinated into rigid notions of masculinity, which can stifle emotional expression leaving them disconnected from others as well as themselves. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where men can explore their feelings and vulnerabilities without fear of judgment, allowing them to reconnect more deeply with themselves and others.

I work with men around issues of sexual identity, challenges with out of control sexual behaviors and sex addiction, libido and performance anxiety issues, and navigating sexual issues in relationships.
