Men's Issues

Men often aren't allowed a safe space to process their feelings. Many men I work with are victims of abuse, and have no where to turn. I understand the specific issues that men face, without toxic masculinity.

I work with a lot of men around masculinity, gender roles, processing shame, and managing anger.

Many men face stigma around seeking therapy due to societal norms and expectations. Toxic masculinity perpetuates the belief that men should be stoic, self-reliant, and unemotional, discouraging them from expressing vulnerability or seeking help. This leads to untreated mental health issues, emotional suppression, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. By challenging these stereotypes and promoting a culture of openness and support, I strive to help men feel comfortable seeking the care they need.

All of us Men at some time in our life will likely face a form of depression (or melancholy) and folks here us say, "I don't want to talk about it." This is a serious issue that can be difficult to recognize and discuss, especially for men. Men over 30 have a higher risk of sleep apnea, which can cause insomnia. Men may struggle to show their love for their wives, and couples counseling can be helpful. Other issues include Stress, substance abuse, anxiety, Fatherhood issues, Midlife, and more

Relationship Concerns, Life patterns, General Concerns

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.

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.

As a psychodynamic therapist, I specialize in men's issues, exploring deep-seated emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics. Through examining early attachments and unconscious processes, I help men understand and navigate their internal world, fostering healthier relationships and personal growth. I focus on challenges like emotional suppression, masculinity norms, and relationship dynamics, facilitating deeper self-awareness and healthier interpersonal connections.

Too masculine, not masculine enough? Too in touch with emotions, not in touch enough? For so many of us men, we don't fit into any one box. Yet, we might have been raised or currently living among people who don't get us. This can lead us to question if we are 'good enough' or 'doing it right.' Learn how to be comfortable in whatever way you choose to express who you are. Let me help you release old fears, old patterns and live authentically, now and everyday.

I am able to talk openly with you about whatever issues that you're having with your marriage, when it comes to sex, your anxiety revolving around sex, and things that you might be embarrassed about telling your partner. I truly have a judgement free zone and I have already seen many things in life as I am 50 years old and I am here to help you overcome whatever challenges that you're facing.

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.

As a cis man, and through my work with male clients, I seek to explore and interrogate what it means to "be a man" in today's society. I believe that you are "already a man," regardless of how one does or does not fit into societal stereotypes. I support others in the struggles that come with the attempts to live up to impossible standards and challenge the status quo, helping individuals become true to themselves, regardless of others' perceptions.

As a young man growing in an increasingly complex world, I understand the unique stresses men go through in the 21st century. I've made it a pillar of my work to help other men navigate the world in a healthy and positive manner.

Men face challenges and barriers in reaching out for help and seeking therapy. Men are more likely to tell others they are fine out of fear and concern of being judged or viewed as weak. They may also want to avoid burdening loved ones, friends, and family. As a result, men are less likely to seek out therapy and may experience anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health concerns and suffer in silence. Please give me a chance to help.

Men are also oppressed by toxic masculinity. I like to help men to understand the challenges that the face around emotional understanding and expression.

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.

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.

I utilize existential, narrative, and humanistic methods to start and build a dialogue alongside the men with whom I work. Men have to manage unique sociocultural stressors throughout their lives, including the balance between work and home life, raising children, responding to our own fathers being absent or ambivalent during our childhoods, and retirement. I believe that masculinity has an important place in the world and I thoroughly enjoy promoting a modern perspective.
