Reality bites. Hard. I believe people can bite back - and learn to be nourished. The trouble is, we develop patterns of relating and being in the world where we get stuck, no matter how hard we try. With a lifetime of accumulated coping strategies, some having become sources of stress rather than relief, we come to feel alienated, ashamed and alone with difficulties and traumas, lacking hope for something better. Change is possible. Emerging from conditioned isolation into meaningful contact with others is hard work, tremendously uncomfortable, yet profoundly liberating. Individual therapy is one path to help with that process.

Males young and old experience anxiety, depression, trauma and other mood issues, though are less likely to seek help. ADHD and LD’s disproportionately affect males, disrupting their goals and relationships. Young males must navigate contradictory messages about what it means to be a man while managing their own emotional health. These issues tend to be at their worst during transitional life stages, such as changing schools, entering the workforce, middle life, and in new relationships.
