I work with a lot of men who are balancing work and relationships. I see clients who are overwhelmed in their jobs, frustrated with demands coming from so many people and places. Sometimes a spouse or girlfriend insists on the need for counseling! Kids, teens or even adult children can be the source of stress. And then there are the teens whose home-life or other pressures stress them out. Others are in the second half of life, or maybe feeling the pain of divorce or loss. There is definitely hope!

I consider it a privilege to come alongside clients as they explore their story. I am passionate about helping people find their voice and discover who they are, that they might live freely into their giftings and into relationships with others. I believe we experience both harm and healing in the context of relationship. No-one makes it through life without being wounded, and once we are, we begin to live out of adaptive and protective strategies to ensure we won’t get hurt again. While these strategies are often paramount to our survival, they can also make it difficult to come alive in the present.

Sensitive, soul-searching, overachievers… you are my people! Navigating life’s challenges can be tough, particularly when you are in “push through it” mode and neglecting the parts of your life that help you to thrive. This is when you are most vulnerable to anxiety and depression and most likely to fall out of attunement with your best self. Relationships begin to suffer and sometimes it's hard to plow through the weight of past judgments, prejudices, feelings of shame, and guilt. Those types of past experiences are unwelcome guests who affect us more than we sometimes realize and are difficult to shake.
