Do you feel like you’re constantly on edge, snapping at loved ones, shutting down, or carrying stress that never seems to let up? Maybe you’re managing anxiety, parenting struggles, or the impact of trauma. And maybe it’s starting to affect your relationships, work, or sense of self. For men especially, therapy can feel intimidating or unnecessary, but the truth is, holding everything in doesn’t make it go away. Whether you’re here for yourself, your family, or your relationship, you deserve a space to unpack what’s weighing you down and find a better way forward.
I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, anger, parenting stress, and more. If school issues, self-esteem, or family conflict are affecting your child, or if you're struggling with connection and communication, I help clients build healthier relationships with themselves and the people they care about.
Starting therapy can feel tough. You might wonder if talking will even help or worry you’ll be judged for what you say. I bring a calm, supportive presence and practical tools to each session, no pressure, just real support. Together, we’ll create space to process what’s hard, build confidence, and start moving toward the life you want to live

I like to incorporate REBT in my therapy sessions to help clients identify and challenge irrational beliefs that lead to emotional distress. This approach empowers individuals to replace these beliefs with more rational, helpful thoughts, promoting emotional well-being and proactive behavior. It's gratifying to witness clients develop the tools to lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
