Feeling stuck, angry, depressed, or confused? Are you fed up, with yourself, your partner, or family members? Are you struggling financially? Are looking for a different career or starting one?

These are common experiences for many people in our complicated society. Sometimes people "act out", fall into addictions, just shut down, or make bad decisions. They want change, but are not sure how. That's when counseling and analysis can really help.

I see you! I know how heavy it can feel to try and carry it all on your own. Life has its seasons, and those transitions, the highs and the lows, can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed.

But here’s the truth: there is hope, and there is healing. Are sleepless nights filled with racing thoughts keeping you up? Have you been feeling down for a while—maybe disconnected, sad, or just not like yourself? If so, you’re not alone.

People feel stuck in life for different reasons, whether it be because of emotional problems or something holding them back. I believe people need a place to reflect on themselves, and through that process, are able to understand themselves and know what kind of life they want to live.

I run men's therapy groups and individual counseling. The men's groups are groups for men who want to reconnect with their inner strength, learn to express emotion, and build authentic brotherhood.
Many of the men I work with feel stuck, successful on paper, but quietly wrestling with anxiety, numbness, or disconnection. They’ve spent years pushing forward, but something deeper calls for attention. Often they’re navigating relationships, purpose, or a loss of direction. They want to feel more grounded, alive, and at peace with themselves, to reconnect to a sense of meaning and strength that feels authentic, not performative.

Relationships are powerful. They have the power to inspire us, help us grow, or they can smother and even damage us. We spend much of our time and energy engaged in relationships, tolerating, fixing, and avoiding relationships. I believe that relationships are powerful vehicles for change. As a psychotherapist, I offer a relationship that is warm, challenging, accepting, and personal where you can feel a full range of emotions, learn, grow, and attain your goals.
