Guys have way more going on emotionally than most of us are comfortable talking about. If you have never talked to someone about whatever it is that you probably should talk to someone about, then I may be the guy for you. Some
men
come to my office after they've recently broken up with their girlfriend (or she has broken up with him). Some are dealing with anxiety or are living under the influence of depression. Some guys are trying to figure out who they really are and what to do with their life. What they all have in common is that they have strengths to draw on and want to advance in life feeling better than they do now.

I offer a relaxed space for
men
and dads to share, explore, and deconstruct their stories; to reclaim who they are outside of painful narratives; and create new narratives that are more affirming and hopeful.
Today, many
men
are trying to move beyond pre-existing scripts and rigid stereotypes around masculinity that "box" them in. They want to be more relational; connect more with themselves, tune into their emotions, form compassionate bonds with others and explore what fatherhood means to them. However, it can still be really hard to detach from “toxic” self-narratives and to be vulnerable. Sadly, socio-cultural messages such as “boys don’t cry” remain pervasive, compounding shame, despair and isolation.
Men
need welcoming and supportive spaces where they can talk about their struggles and the positive life changes they wish to make.

I specialize in
men
’s issues pertaining to addiction, depression, anger, trauma, and relationships.
Growing up in a culture that makes it hard to open up about struggles at the risk of being judged, especially as a
man
, I understand that a lot of people can dismiss the ways in which therapy can empower us to take control of and find new meaning in our lives. At the same time, I have also seen many people become dependent on therapy, and reliant on “experts” to tell them how to live. My success as a healer depends on helping you achieve your goals in the fastest time possible so you don’t waste your time and money. “Fire” me ASAP.

Most of my clients are
men
who are intelligent, self-reflective, and successful, but who still somehow feel that something’s missing, or that they haven’t "grown up" in some key way. They are often experiencing some combination of anxiety, shame, low self-esteem, anger, resentment, or relationship problems. I try to create a non-judgmental space for them to feel seen, heard and understood. It’s important for
men
to share their struggles, fears and shames with other caring and supportive
men
. This goes against a lot of our cultural conditioning but it helps us to feel that we’re not alone and that we’re actually okay.

You may feel stuck, lost, distracted, disconnected, or broken.
Men
are often expected to conform to traditional masculine ideals, which can include stoicism, emotional suppression, isolation, and a reluctance to seek help. These pressures can make it difficult for
men
to acknowledge and address their mental health concerns, leading to a wide ranges of concerns including anxiety, addiction, depression, substance misuse, poor relationships, and isolation. I work with
men
to help break down the stigma of seeking help and provide you with the support and resources you need to prioritize your mental health.

I help
men
develop a sense of positive masculinity and ground themselves in their unique masculine essence, to expand in their resilience, sense of purpose, and meaning - as well as to navigate their internal world, relationships, and careers in a way that empowers them towards a flourishing mental state and their full potential. I believe that these capacities are fundamental to our well-being, and that psychotherapy is an individualized approach that can facilitate and nurture the development of these capacities.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States and Canada, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
