If you’re a man feeling stuck in worry or unhappiness—overwhelmed by life’s pressures, feeling lonely, and uncertain about your direction—I can help. Whether it’s the challenge of balancing work or school, difficulties in relationships, or relying on alcohol or other unhealthy habits to cope, you may be searching for a way out. You want to feel more confident, productive, and connected to others, but something keeps holding you back. You’re ready to break free from the cycle of stress and frustration—and you know it’s time for a change.
I help men change their lives by providing structure, support, and accountability. I’ll guide you to tackle the challenges impacting work or school, relationships, and well-being. Together, we'll reduce your stress, improve your mood, and achieve your goals—better grades, relationships, a promotion, or healthier habits.
I know how challenging it can be—and I’ve supported many men in creating real, lasting change in their lives. Asking for help isn’t easy, but it’s the first step toward the life you truly want. You don’t have to go through this alone. Reach out today, and let’s start building the confidence and success you deserve.

ACT helps men focus on their values and take action, even when faced with obstacles. CBT teaches them to identify and challenge negative thought patterns. DBT improves emotional regulation and coping skills, while Motivational Interviewing boosts motivation and commitment to change. Together, these tools empower men to reduce stress, manage emotions, and make lasting, positive changes.
