Most men struggle to find another man who will go deep with them. Yet so much of our vitality and our pain lives beneath the surface, in ways the people around us rarely see. I can meet you there. Something has cracked open in you and you cannot think your way out of it. You are not looking for short-term tips and tricks. You want to get into it. Maybe it is a divorce, or a loss you have not recovered from. Maybe the midlife recognition that you want more than this, or something you cannot name that is quietly wrecking you. However you got here, you are carrying something heavy and it is time to stop managing it alone.
I am a therapist for men. I do slow, honest, weekly work that gets underneath the surface: the shame, the grief, the father stuff, the things you have never said out loud to anyone. I have done this work myself, which is part of why I trust it. I believe that going to the deep places within ourselves can lead to transformation in our lives.
Check out my website to learn more about how I work. If you are curious, reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. I would love to talk about what it is you are looking for.

Men come to me carrying things they have carried alone. Shame that makes them withdraw. Grief that got skipped over. Anger that keeps showing up in the wrong places. We work slowly and we go underneath the story to what is actually driving it. You will not get a worksheet. You will get an hour a week where you can deal with what is true, and someone who will go there with you.

These approaches share one idea: you were shaped in relationship, so you heal in relationship. That means we pay attention to your history and to what happens between us here, because the patterns you live out in the world tend to show up in this room too. I also pay attention to your body, since a great deal of what men carry lives there long before we have words for it.
