We were raised to push through and ignore our feelings. It worked for a while but now it feels heavy. You might be snapping more than you want to, shutting down, or keeping everything to yourself. Maybe you feel undervalued and unseen in your relationship. Maybe you are numbing with alcohol, porn, food, work, or your phone. You might feel lonely in your own house, even when you are surrounded by people. You may be working hard, doing everything you can, and still feeling like you are not good enough or not getting the reward you hoped for. It can feel like you are losing parts of yourself along the way.
Learn why certain patterns show up and how to slow things down. Respond instead of snapping, exploding, or shutting down. Be more present with the people who matter. Build real friendships and real bonds in your day-to-day life. Start to feel a sense of worth that isn’t tied to performance.
I work mainly with men who are tired of carrying everything alone. My style is calm, honest, and judgment free. I use a humanistic approach, CBT, and practical tools that fit your life If this sounds like a fit, please book a complimentary consultation so we can connect.

I specialize in men's mental health, including anger, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. Many men I work with feel overwhelmed, shut down, or stuck in cycles of stress or anger.

I use CBT, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and trauma-informed approaches inspired by Dr. Gabor Maté and Bessel van der Kolk. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and compassionate.
