If you are motivated to grow as an individual or as a couple, face challenging realities, and develop a growth mentality, or if you need to recover from harm, work through grief, and move toward wholeness and wellbeing, this could be the right therapeutic fit for you.

Many of us were raised to believe that being honest about what we need or how we feel is "selfish." Worse, some were taught that to talk about these things is a sign of weakness or an invitation to be criticized, punished, or rejected. Wrong. Whether you're struggling with relationships, feeling unsatisfied in your work life, worried that you don't belong, or stuck in your own head, seeking therapy is a courageous act of self-care. Adversity, loss, and suffering can be deeply discouraging at times, but Mr. Rogers put it best: "anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable."

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, behavioral concerns, spiritual hurt, divorce, or the effects of past experiences. You may feel stuck in unhealthy patterns, disconnected from others, or unsure where to find hope. As a Christian counselor, I believe that every person is created in the image of God and that hope is always available, even in life's most difficult seasons.

Life can feel overwhelming. Painful experiences, trauma, anxiety, and conflicts can alter life. It can lead us to shy away from vulnerability. We boast about independence and feel obligated to be everyone's 'person'. We often set high expectations. We decide we have to be the strong one, reliable one, the one to 'fix it.' Aiming for perfection that doesn't exist, all while silently struggling, feeling alone and exhausted, fighting for control, the ability to predict all while feeling nothing is predictable.

I specialize in grief, men's issues (including stress & anxiety), identity, life transitions, & couples.
Are you a person who thinks deeply about your life, notices patterns, and wants to understand what's really going on beneath the surface? If so, you might be not looking for someone to tell you what to do. You may want instead to have a thinking partner, someone who'll engage with you in genuine conversation about grief, anxiety, stress, identity, relationships, life transitions, and more. You're ready to sit with discomfort if it means moving toward clarity. I work collaboratively with adults who want to explore their experience rather than be told how to fix it, people who trust their own insight and want to develop it further.

I typically work with men struggling to find their place in this world.
My approach is straightforward and grounded in a belief that we’re often driven by patterns we aren’t fully aware of—patterns that can leave us feeling stuck, confused, or unsure about how we got here. Together, we'll take a closer look at this framework and work toward clearer understanding and change.

At times, we all find ourselves pushed to the limits of what we can cope with. We work hard to escape familiar, painful cycles, only to end up where we began. Some of us are attempting to salvage marriages with spouses we dearly love, yet with whom we continue to engage in the same old arguments, losing hope that we can ever recover the connection we once had. Others may be battling crippling anxiety or trying to shake the cloud of depression that darkens our every step. We are left exhausted, discouraged, and hopeless.

Therapy should be a place where you can exhale a little — where you do not have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or have everything figured out before you walk in. My hope is to create a relationship where you feel comfortable being fully yourself while also being supported, encouraged, and challenged as you grow into the person you want to become. With a background in arts and athletics, I know what it feels like to be stuck and not always understand your purpose. My role is to walk alongside you with warmth, honesty, curiosity, a bit of humor and care.

The patterns that cause us the most pain often show up in our closest relationships. You may find yourself asking, "Why does this keep happening?" Despite insight, effort, or years of coping, the same struggles can return. Old wounds linger beneath the surface, shaping how you see yourself and how you connect with others. Lasting change is rarely just about understanding what’s wrong. It tends to emerge through relationship itself: by slowing down, noticing what comes alive between us, and exploring these patterns in a space where they can be felt, understood, and experienced differently.

As we live, we write the stories of our lives. Sometimes the pen gets too heavy. Sometimes we don’t know where to start… or how to continue. And then there’s writer’s block, the faltering of the creative process somewhere in our hearts, our minds, our bodies producing dis-orders and dis-eases. Maybe you have lost a Loved one. Maybe you’re starting a new relationship. Maybe you want a new job. Maybe you just want change. I believe the remedy is in the beliefs/feelings, thoughts, and behaviors fueling the writer’s block or dis-ease, and I am a dis-ease specialist.

Part of being human is the inevitability of encountering difficulty. Most of us accept this quite easily, but it is harder for us to accept *ourselves* while we face that difficulty! So many of our experiences in our families and our culture train us to ignore or get rid of our emotions, so space or compassion for ourselves seem next to impossible. Together and with mutual vulnerability and creativity, my heartfelt wish is to effectively nurture and challenge you, and to help you discover resources within and without to meet your experiences with strength, clarity, and hope.

Many of us get to a point in life where we realize that we cannot keep doing what we've always done. We are tired, discouraged, and unsure of how things could ever change. Maybe you've been fighting addictive behavior, or perhaps you are feeling weighed down by relentless depression/anxiety? Maybe you and your spouse are constantly arguing and wonder if things could ever get back to the way they used to be? Maybe you're watching your family fall apart and you feel helpless to save it? You have tried and hoped for things to be different, but they just aren't...

Greetings! Welcome and thank you for considering me as your therapist. It is said that the reason two antelope walk side by side is to blow the dust from each other's eyes (African proverb). In today's world, it seems harder than ever to find clarity in the midst of chaos. Living with unaddressed chaos and unresolved pain can leave us feeling stuck and disconnected from those who love us and who may be able to help us. Sometimes, due to life circumstances, we struggle to find our way back to ourselves, our family and our God.

You're mentally exhausted and you've turned to unhealthy behaviors to cope, but your mind never shuts off. It's a feeling of restlessness. Internally, you feel overwhelmed and disconnected. I specialize in working with high-functioning men struggling with unhealthy behaviors, stress, anxiety, and burn-out.

To be human is to struggle. Although pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is an admirable and common mindset in our society, this philosophy leaves little room for people to be real and confront their struggles in an authentic way, which leads in time to things like discouragement, burnout, and emotional difficulty. So, instead, I invite you to show up just as you are! You can trust that you’ll be met with safety and compassion as we walk together through whatever you’re facing.
I enjoy working with adults and adolescents concerning anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, men’s issues, and parenting.

Being a person is hard af. That's the first thing to acknowledge when you consider reaching out for support; I promise you: everyone is struggling in some way or another, despite what their social media might suggest.
Sorting through your shit and figuring out what to toss and what to keep is a journey, and you may need different things at different times.
If you're at point where what you need is less "and how does that make you feel" and more "wow that sucks have you tried this other thing" - I might just be the right fit for you. I like people who want to really dig in and see what's underneath the layers you may be avoiding.

You are the hero or heroine of your own life’s story, but it doesn’t feel that way right now. Storms of anxiety, shame, depression, guilt, or addiction rage against you. Dragons of grief, trauma, anger, fear, or loneliness seek to pull you down. You fight back, but the struggle leaves you weary. Stuck. Success is difficult, and you are not the positive influence in the world you hoped to be. You recognize patterns leading to the same unwanted results. You’ve done your best to understand, but moving forward seems too difficult. Maybe you begin to doubt who you really are, believing that you are much less than heroic.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
