Men's Issues Therapists in Austin, TX
I often see couples who are stuck and running out of hope. "What's going on?" "The world says we're supposed to be okay being alone, but I feel miserable and alone." "What happened to us?" "How did we get here?" "We were never supposed to be those ‘other couples’."
Relationships can become painful and unsettling. And so disappointing. The good news is relationship injuries can be repaired. And, you can have the hopes and dreams you’ve long since dismissed as a pleasant fantasy.

My practice centers around teaching people principles on how to access their own innate psychological health, and how to utilize this understanding for their own well-being. This can include a healthier concept of self, a more productive way of viewing difficulties and overcoming challenges in life, and how to establish more meaningful relationships. I help client's suffering from depression, anxiety, attention issues, addictions, emotional regulatory disorders and relational conflict learn skills such as CBT, DBT, 3 principles training, and mindfulness to help better their lives. Teaching new skills is an integral part of my practice.

You wake up every day feeling like you’re living a lie. You are always super careful with what you say or do to make sure you’re not judged or treated differently by others. Maybe you even catch yourself wishing you were “normal” and hating who you are. It can be very confusing trying to navigate our world as a gay man. You often feel on edge and exhausted trying to fit in with the norm of what our society says a man should be! It can be confusing trying to make sense of all the different parts that make up who are, such as gender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity and religious beliefs.

Life piles it on—work, family, expectations. If you’re stressed, burned out, or stuck—whether it’s anxiety, low mood, or old habits like anger, procrastination, or numbing out—you’re not alone. Perhaps communication keeps breaking down, or you’re facing a major transition and questioning who you are or what matters most.
Change doesn’t come from wishful thinking or quick fixes. It comes from real work and practical tools that move you forward. Whether you want to get back to the old you or push past limits, I’ll call it like I see it and help you feel clearer, calmer, and more connected to your partner, your purpose, and yourself.

Welcome to a space where your growth, well-being, and relationships are prioritized. I work with men, teen boys, and couples who want to feel more connected—both to themselves and to others. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns of disconnection, frustration, or uncertainty. They might struggle with identity, communication, intimacy, or purpose. Others are trying to manage stress, low self-esteem, or the pressure of expectations to always “have it together.”

Are you stuck in a cycle a sexual addiction or porn that you can’t break—no matter how hard you try? You may promise yourself it’s the last time, only to return again feeling weighed down by guilt, shame, or frustration. You are not alone, and it’s not your fault. Sexual struggles often have deep roots. The patterns that keep you returning usually began long before you realized it—often shaped by childhood wounds, unmet needs, or painful emotions. In therapy, we will work together to uncover what’s really driving these patterns, including unresolved shame, codependence, and enmeshment, so you can finally break free from the cycle.

I specialize in Men's Issues, the loss of trust, the loss of identity, addictions and all traumas - particularly childhood trauma.
We specialize in helping men who feel like they have to handle everything on their own. Most of us were taught to “man up,” “get over it,” or keep our emotions buried. So we learn to deal with stress quietly—turning to pornography, alcohol, overwork, or distractions just to get a break from what’s underneath.
As men, we lie, we defend, we run. We chase peace and acceptance, even if it’s temporary or fake. We pull away from people we love, telling ourselves, “No one cares about my needs but me,” or “If they really knew me, they wouldn’t love me.”

Trauma affects how we think, feel, and relate to others, particularly during experiences of grief, loss, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, evidence‑based tools to understand these patterns and support meaningful change.
My primary focus areas are grief and loss, men’s issues, and trauma. I work with adults and teens—especially men—who may feel stuck, emotionally isolated, or unsure how to move forward. Using a trauma‑informed CBT approach, I help clients process loss, navigate life transitions, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and resilience.

Most people who come to me find themselves repeating patterns that are no longer working in their lives, relationships, and behaviors. They often have insight into what is wrong, but still struggle to change it. I work best with individuals who are ready to engage actively, take responsibility for their circumstances, and are motivated to make meaningful changes. I help them understand the underlying factors driving these difficulties and begin shifting them in a direct, coherent, and structured way.

You’re at the point of breaking up. This relationship is just too much. Every conversation ends in a fight. Talking only leads to hurt feelings and raised voices. The miscommunications are piling up, and the tension is mounting. You want things to be better, but you also wonder if it’s even worth trying to save. You miss being close, but you’re tired of getting jerked back and forth between conflict and loneliness. If only this could be fixed with a YouTube video, a new patch of code, or a trip to
Home Depot!
