Men and women are different, and guys have very specific counseling needs. A lot of men cringe at the thought of counseling, and understandably so. My goal is to show the guy who hates the idea of counseling how helpful it can be and that masculinity isn't inherently negative. Being a man is a good thing and being a good man is even better. My PhD research was on help-seeking behavior in men. I know that making that first phone call seems terrifying, but you owe it to yourself to give this a shot. You owe it to yourself to be well.

I work with thoughtful, high-functioning people who have done a lot of inner work but still feel chronically tense, tired, or stuck. Many of my clients understand their patterns well, yet notice that insight hasn’t fully translated into embodied change. Often, their nervous system is over-driven — constantly pushing, fixing, or trying to get somewhere else.

Another day underway... Went to bed exhausted, woke up the same way. Spent an hour last night staring at the ceiling…drift off and bam, time to wake up. Living the dream...not. More like another frickin' long day...spent 20 minutes (you didn't have) searching for your keys. Driving to work, everyone's out to piss you off with their driving. Cut off twice, honked at, and the person tapping their brakes 100 times pushed you over the edge. 15-hour work shifts draining what little energy you have. Mind's all over the place. Overwhelmed and stuck. On your 4th argument of the week with your partner, it’s only Wednesday.

Most young adults I meet aren’t falling apart, they’re just tired of pretending they have it all figured out. Maybe things look fine on paper, but inside there’s anxiety, confusion about identity or faith, relationship stress, or a general “what am I doing with my life?” feeling. I help people untangle that mess in a calm, judgment-free space so they can make sense of who they are and where they’re heading, without needing to meet anyone’s script for them.

Are you ready to feel better and make meaningful changes in your life? Many people reach a point where things feel heavy, confusing, or stuck—and seeking support is not weakness, but courage. Therapy is a collaborative process where you can safely explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may have gone unspoken for years. I emphasize creativity as a vital part of growth, helping you think flexibly, access new perspectives, and move beyond rigid patterns. I work with empathy, honesty, and respect, fostering a trusting relationship where insight and real change can emerge at a pace that feels right for you. I do PSP13/L3 evals.

It takes courage to come to therapy and most people do so when life seems unbearable. Others come because they want to grow in some way and believe therapy can make a difference in their lives. My ideal client is someone who is self-motivated and ready to "work" in therapy. I work with men, women and older adolescents. I work best with individuals who are ready for positive changes in their lives and who want to improve the quality of their life and their relationships.

Are you seeking an Independent Medical Opinion/Nexus Letter? The entire process is through telehealth. I was trained by a psychiatrist who was also an attorney for two years after graduate school, which has come in handy. The process typically takes 7-14 days, and I work at your pace, as most Veterans have not asked for help.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
