All I need from you is your commitment to the journey!

Are you a man carrying more than you let on?
Maybe it’s the pressure to succeed, be strong, or hold it all together—while inside, you’re struggling with anxiety, low self esteem, sadness, anger, or simply feeling lost. Whether you’re a young man trying to find your place, a high-achiever burned out by work and relationships, or a father or partner dealing with emotional shutdown or strain—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep doing this silently.

I help adults who are experiencing OCD, Men's Issues or substance use improve the quality of their life and improve their relationship with others and themselves.
Remember the last time that you felt fulfilled. What did it take? Chances are that it was not the result of staying in your comfort zone. Opening up your inner world can feel vulnerable. Doing the work that it takes to reach your goals may not feel comfortable. And that’s the thing. Comfortable does not lead to growth. What can lead to growth is taking on new challenges with the guidance and support of a compassionate and experienced therapist. I strive to provide a therapeutic relationship that my clients may use for their growth, whether that means gaining insight, connecting with others, or managing distressing symptoms.

Do you feel like your relationship is heavy with little hope of change? Like you've hit a wall, stuck in the same arguments, struggling to "get on the same page," or even figure out what that means?

Relief, clarity, and connection are possible, and you deserve all three.

Many of my clients feel stuck repeating the same cycles despite their best efforts to change. I like to emphasize practical skills that anyone can implement when they are feeling overwhelmed or impulsive, and I am especially experienced with helping individuals with Autism (officially diagnosed or just suspected). I also support clients that may be experiencing early forms of psychosis (like paranoia or hallucinations) and help them decrease those symptoms before they get worse. I am certified to provide emotion regulation techniques, social-relational skills, and practical tools for organization for anyone with neurodivergence.

Men's Issues Therapists
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.
