Pain and discomfort in life are inevitable, and while it can feel isolating, it's not a burden you have to carry alone. Perhaps you're experiencing relationship growing pains, professional challenges, or the reverberations of trauma and chronic stress. All of this can result in sense of stuckness, dread, and existential shame. While growth can also be uncomfortable, I am here to help you hold on to yourself and strengthen your sense of self.

You are on the right track: seeking out assistants, allies. Kind of depressed? Anxious? Troubles in your relationship? Feeling alienated or a loss of direction? There are lots of ways to describe it, and initially that's all I'll ask you to do. You'll have the freedom of a confidential discussion and a trained professional to help illuminate issues, set goals, and pursue your concerns. You may want insight into your situation. You may want tools. You certainly want results, and to develop some capacities that you haven't seen for a while. That works for me. And I offer clinical supervision to other therapists as well.

Thoughts are very powerful things. Sometimes we get stuck in negative, self-defeating thought spirals. We might think we're not good enough or that we're somehow undeserving of love, respect, and success. Often these thoughts are so automatic that we simply accept them as true. My goal as a therapist is to help people examine and question their negative self-beliefs. With a more accurate and balanced understanding of our talents, strengths, and value, our lives become fuller as we open up to new possibilities.

I work with adult men in Tucson who feel stressed, stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed—and who want practical tools without pressure or judgement. Many of the men I see are dealing with anxiety, anger, burnout, relationship strain, trauma, or major life transitions.
My approach is direct, grounded, and respectful of how men experience life.
While my primary focus is men’s therapy, I also do limited work with women, particularly around borderline personality disorder, childhood trauma, dissociation, and identity.

A good therapist accepts and validates who you are and what you value. This can only happen if you feel compassion and warmth from the therapist you choose. Do you feel troubled by your past? By events or relationships from your childhood? Or perhaps you are unsure of what drives your distress and simply need a safe, supportive person to explore this with. I am interested in getting to know you and to learn about your unique needs.

You've handled it on your own for a long time. You show up, you provide, you keep the people around you okay — and somewhere along the way, you stopped being okay yourself. Maybe it's the irritability, the flatness, the sense you're just going through the motions. Maybe the friendships have thinned out and there's no one you'd actually say this to. Maybe it's a habit you can't seem to stop. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to keep carrying it alone, and reaching out doesn't make you less of a man. As a therapist who works with addiction every day, I can tell you it's one of the strongest things you can do.

My why for providing marriage counseling is rooted in the belief that emotionally secure relationships promote individual healing, family well-being, and lasting resilience. I believe many couples experience distress not because they lack love or commitment, but because unresolved relational experiences and unmet emotional needs shape how they seek connection, respond to conflict, and experience emotional safety. My goal is to help couples recognize these patterns, repair relational wounds, strengthen emotional awareness, and build more secure, responsive, and connected relationships.

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.
