I help busy professional guys who are feeling stressed out by the many demands of their work and personal lives. By teaching you to stop holding it all in until you either shut down in depression or blow up in anger, I will help you make more sense of all the pressures and gain more mastery over your mind and your mood. By doing this, you will get a clearer sense of what you really want and the actions to take to get it in all important areas of life. For most men, asking for help isn’t our first step. First, we try to do it ourselves. We find our own “solutions.” Work harder. Drink. Zone out. Yell. Shut down.
My approach to better solutions has three main pieces. The first is cognitive, meaning understanding how our mind creates our so-called “reality,” for better or for worse. The second is mindfulness, or learning better ways of paying attention to what matters. And finally, existential, meaning we consider “big questions" like “Who am I really?”
The ultimate goal is to be a more integrated man: head and heart; wants and actions; goals and results. As a male therapist, I get the many roles and stresses in our lives. I get the desire to do it ourselves. And I get the courage it takes to reach out. Call or message me for a free 20-minute chat about what’s going on and how I can help.

Groups
Online New Dads Support
The transition to fatherhood brings anxiety, relationship strain, identity shifts, and isolation most men don't talk about. This 10-session group creates space for expecting and new fathers (0-2 years) to share the real struggles—and find real support. This isn't a parenting class. It's a discussion and skills group where men will get practical and emotional support from guys who get it; tools for managing overwhelm without losing yourself; and a brotherhood when fatherhood feels isolating. Online weekly with a bonus in-person option once a month. Contact me for your free phone consultation.
