Most men don’t want therapy full of fluff, jargon, or vague advice. They want straight talk, practical tools, and a place to sort things out without being judged. I work specifically with men who want to communicate better, reduce anxiety, improve their relationships, and handle stress with more confidence. In my experience, therapy can misunderstand men's goals and aspirations and I offer a nonjudgmental space that welcomes them.
My style is straightforward, calm, and practical. I won’t sit back silently or ask endless “How does that make you feel?” questions. Instead, we’ll talk honestly about what’s happening in your life, and build tools you can actually use — whether that’s managing stress, communicating better, setting boundaries, or negotiating anger.
Whether you’re dealing with stress, repeating the same arguments, feeling stuck, or just want to understand yourself better, I’m here to help. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and see if we’re a good fit.

I approach sessions with compassion, humor and directness. Clients usually find my style to be kind, while still holding them accountable to their own growth and healing. I also enjoy working with therapists-in-training, providing supervision and mentorship grounded in both clinical skill-building and professional development.
