I have been leading, coaching and mentoring in the corporate world for 10 plus years, and private practice coaching for over 5 years. Over the years of working primarily with men I realized that we often struggle to communicate well. When faced with confrontation, we defend ourselves or attack, or simply walk away. In some stressful situations we may choke up and struggle to get our words out. Why have we lost the ability to dialog and understand another point of view without feeling threatened? In helping men find their voice, I first had to discover mine.

Therapy can provide life-changing benefits for anyone, and doesn't mean that someone is “ill” or that anything is “wrong”.

I understand and respect the strength it takes to begin challenging roadblocks in our lives, and I am here to help you every step of the way.

Let's be honest. When it comes to overcoming your compulsive use of porn and/or sex you feel defeated. You're tired of hearing that more effort and more accountability is the answer. What you're doing isn't working. Right? I get it. For over twenty years I was held captive by a secret porn and sex addiction. I understand the crushing shame and guilt. I understand that feeling that "things will never really change." But you know what? I found lasting freedom. And you can too.

"Hot mess." A funny little phrase that some use to humorously describe their struggles. Have you ever described your situation with this phrase, but it's not funny anymore? You just can't seem to get your life together and fear that maybe you will never be able to gain control. Your sense of humor has been replaced by anxiety, sadness, anger, and aggravation. Sometimes you explode, causing more problems or harming people you care about. It's not like you woke up one day thinking "I'm going to make a mess out of my life," but somehow, that is exactly what has happened.

Men often experience their mental health in ways that are unique to them, commonly influenced by societal and cultural expectations. For this reason, men in therapy benefit most when working with a therapist who truly understands the challenges facing men in today’s world. As a male therapist, my practice is tailored towards supporting men through relationship issues and trauma, as well as career, stress and other personal struggles. My goal as a therapist is to help men to find their true potential in living happy and successful lives.

(Scheduling in-person and Zoom now) Sometimes we experience disturbing levels of anxiety, depression, anger, or loss. Sometimes we feel disconnected or not able to get a handle on things. In those times emotions can be overwhelming or confusing, and our usual ways of dealing with life don't seem to work anymore. Therapy offers a way to increase awareness of who we are, measure our limits, and expand our personal and interpersonal abilities to make significant changes. I believe we have within us the potential for a healthy and creative life. In the therapy process, we have an opportunity to discover and unleash that potential.

Are you overwhelmed by disturbing intrusive thoughts that seem too terrible to talk about? Do you ever feel powerless to stop looking at pornography?

If you identify with any of these struggles, please know that you are not alone and that you can find your way to greater well-being. Opening up about things that you might feel ashamed of or distressed by can be scary, but I believe these struggles deserve to be understood with deep compassion and that facing them head-on is the way forward.

For me, the ideal client comes motivated and seeking change in their life. The focus is on the client and what they would like to change. It could be relationship issues communication, self-esteem/self-confidence, or a variety of other issues, as long as they are willing to change things. I think most clients may come in with a misunderstanding that we are responsible for their change, in actuality it is they who use the tools given. The client should be allowed to establish their own goals, big or small. The client is usually in a need of support, listening, and understanding. Change is powerful and up to the client.
