Online therapy for men in Nashville and across Tennessee. I help men that are functioning at work, at home, on paper — but something underneath isn't right. The shutdowns, the blowups, the 2 a.m. overthinking, the irritability you you take out on the people you love the most - that's where we start. Most of the men I work with are carrying more than they let on: pressure at work, conflict at home, ADHD that's finally catching up, anxiety that shows up as anger, or a low-grade feeling that they're failing some test no one will name. You don't need to be in crisis to come in — you just need to be tired of doing this on your own.

My style is direct, warm, and laid-back. No clinical jargon, no vague nodding. We'll build practical tools you can use this week — communication, emotional regulation, focus, follow-through, boundaries — while also getting underneath the patterns that keep the same fights, slumps, and shutdowns showing up.

I currently offer online therapy for clients located in Tennessee, including Nashville and Davidson County. For in-person therapy, I see clients at my Johnson City office. I'm in network with BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. Reach out for a free consultation and we can see whether working together feels like the right fit.

Most of the men I see are dealing with some mix of all three: ADHD that's catching up with them at work, a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall, and a quiet sense that they should have this figured out by now. We treat them together — because the focus problems, the shutdowns, and the conflict at home are usually parts of the same story, not separate ones.

To begin, we will discuss what is bringing you to therapy, exploring the history of these issues, and setting goals for therapy. From there, we will likely work on finding tools that will help address and manage how these issues are showing up in daily life. During our sessions, we will also likely explore how your life experiences may be impacting and driving your current issues.
