Maybe you’re struggling with relationship conflict or communication issues. Maybe you’re stressed, anxious, wanting more connection, or feeling stuck with your career. I can help you learn how to confidently navigate your emotions and how your past experiences impact you today.

I can help because I’ve struggled with these things too. Years ago a painful breakup motivated me to go to therapy, which helped so much that I became a therapist. We’ll figure out together how to help you find relief, get unstuck, and create the life, career, or relationship you really want.

I offer individual therapy, men’s groups, and men’s retreats, as well as the email newsletter Make Men Emotional Again.
