Life can feel overwhelming at times, maybe you're navigating effects of anxiety, depression, or past trauma or you might be feeling disconnected from your partner or unsure how to manage relationship challenges.

Mental health as an adult can be daunting even more so when we are trying to figure out who we are and what it means to "be yourself". From the start of adulthood, we barely become adults at 18 years old and we are thrust into the world of responsibilities and expectations of knowing who we are and what we want. On top of that we aren't given much guidance to help us achieve what others expect of us.
Thus, we are left navigating life with only the knowledge and experiences that have brought us to this point. Sometimes we've learned adaptive skills that work in any area of life but sometimes we learned skills that no longer serve.

I can’t lie about it, sometimes therapy hurts. Growing pains are real, and often what we need in order to move forward is the very thing we find hardest to do. The purpose of therapy isn’t always to feel better, it is to feel more.

Most of my clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or carrying heavy experiences they’ve tried to push through on their own. Many of whom are military veterans, first responders, survivors of human trafficking, or professionals with highly sensitive roles who need a safe, confidential space to process trauma. They’re often dealing with PTSD, anxiety, flashbacks, or relationship struggles, and they’re ready for real change. I can help by combining EMDR with practical, evidence-based tools to reprocess painful memories so they no longer control your present. You’ll gain clarity, reduce anxiety, rebuild trust in yourself again.

Starting therapy—whether for the first time or returning—takes courage. Just browsing profiles, reading bios, and deciding to share your story with someone new is a powerful step. It’s an act of hope: trusting that someone can help you make sense of things, hold space for your experience, and walk alongside you as you move forward. My approach to therapy is centered on helping you reconnect with what matters most—your values, relationships, recovery, or dreams—and move toward them with clarity and purpose.

I specialize in helping men aged 45+ and couples navigating midlife. My ideal clients often appear successful but feel drained by professional burnout, irritability, or a hollow sense of achievement.

I collaborate with you to decode emotional "shut downs" and build a version of masculinity grounded in purpose rather than just performance. Together, we move past the rut and back into a life of impact.

My clients are individuals who often carry with them unresolved feelings from either their past or present challenges. Viewing those issues from an objective and trusted practitioner is vital to the change process. Always viewing my clients with unconditional positive regard is essential to us being successful. Therapy can often be the first time someone gets to step out of the day to day of their lives. My hope is during this introspection, I can coach you in the direction you need to go, not where my training thinks you should go. While I may illuminate potential paths, you're taking the steps with me right behind you!

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.
