This is a weekly therapy group for adult male-identifying individuals who are interested in processing emotions, practicing vulnerability and healthy relationship skills, and connecting with other men in a way that is often not easily accessed in everyday life. Goals of the group are to share feelings and emotions, connect deeply, build community, explore masculinity and cultural roles, give and receive support, improve self-expression, alleviate anxiety, and build confidence.

I offer support around pregnancy, miscarriage, postpartum issues, parenting, divorce, men’s issues, career goals, and intergenerational trauma. Currently, I offer two therapy groups: a group for New Moms (babies welcome!) and a Men's Processing Group.

Men in the LGBTQ+ community can have a particularly challenging time connecting emotionally with other men. After years of questioning if you are "good enough" or "okay", you may have trouble showing up authentically in relationships—left in isolation and depression. This group is for gay, bisexual, pansexual, trans, and queer-identified men who want to grow in their connection to themselves and others! I use a modern analytic approach combined with neurobiology, attachment, and trauma-informed work to explore how to be in connection with others.

Do you feel overwhelmed by work, your relationships, or changes in your life? Do you ever find yourself wondering “Why do others look like they have their lives together and I’m struggling to just be me”? It can sometimes feel too painful to explore these questions alone and even scarier to let someone else be there to explore them with you. I understand that struggle and would be honored to work with you at your pace to figure out what it takes for you to feel satisfied and fulfilled.
Boys are daily bombarded with culturally conflicting messages about how to be (or not to be) a man today on social media, in politics and popular culture, and at school. Many young men are coping with the pressures through emotional withdrawal in the form of video games or substance abuse, or developing symptoms of depression and anxiety, leaving them further behind and without the tools needed to relate to others in positive and authentic ways. Group fosters genuine connection, understanding, and clarity. If you think you or your son may benefit from group, call me and we can assess together.

Relationships are inherently complex, and even our most intimate ones can be confusing and painful. It's my job to help you make sense of the complexity. Rather than focusing on fixing something, I put greater emphasis on understanding and processing your conflicting feelings and desires. When we are able to identify and explore conflicting states of mind, we feel less stuck and more free to make choices that reflect what is most authentic to who we are.

I help busy professional guys who are feeling stressed out by the many demands of their work and personal lives. By teaching you to stop holding it all in until you either shut down in depression or blow up in anger, I will help you make more sense of all the pressures and gain more mastery over your mind and your mood. By doing this, you will get a clearer sense of what you really want and the actions to take to get it in all important areas of life. For most men, asking for help isn’t our first step. First, we try to do it ourselves. We find our own “solutions.” Work harder. Drink. Zone out. Yell. Shut down.
Are you tired of maintaining surface level conversations (especially when things aren't so great)? Do you feel isolated and alone? This group is for men who'd like to move beyond the sports talk and build real connections with friends, families, and partners. We'll also discuss stress management and communication tools, work/life balance strategies, and tips for over-all well-being. Learn more about the group on our website or contact me for a free consultation.

I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with their relationships or feeling stuck in their lives. I believe it takes courage to show up as our authentic selves, and in our work I encourage clients to stand in their truth and live in a way that feels fulfilling. I work with couples who are experiencing conflict, disconnection, or are recovering from betrayal. I help couples learn relational health by shedding light on dysfunctional patterns, improving communication of needs and feelings, and practicing co-regulation.
This is a longer term process group that will meet twice a month for at least 6 months. If at that time all members want to continue, we will extend the group for a year or more. The goal of this group is to create a sacred space for men to come together and deep dive into the realm of emotions and vulnerability, integrate mind/body connection approaches, get in touch with core values, establish healthy coping skills, manage stressors, and get to the root of blocks.

My clients have described me as compassionate, respectful and supportive, with a good sense of humor. Each person is unique to their own personal experiences in therapy and I adapt my skills to fit your needs.

Men's Issues Support Groups
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
