Helping Men Break Free from Overthinking, Anxiety & Relationship Stress, Including Retro Active Jealousy.
You replay conversations, second-guess yourself, and feel like you can’t get it right, especially in your relationships. Maybe you're stuck on something your partner said about their past, and no matter how hard you try, the thoughts keep circling back. Your partner says you don’t listen, but you are trying. You’re exhausted from overthinking, walking on eggshells, or stuck in constant arguments. Even when you avoid arguments, things still feel tense.

You might be going through a breakup, loss, or major life change. You might be feeling anxious, stuck, or caught in patterns you can’t quite make sense of — in relationships, at work, or with yourself. Sometimes the reasons for seeking therapy aren’t clear at all: there’s just a sense that something is off, a persistent sadness, or a confusion about who you are and what you want. In our work together, we’ll slow things down so you can speak in your own way and at your own pace. I’ll listen closely and without judgement, paying attention to the words you use and the associations that arise.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
