Sometimes men need an empathic, strong male therapist to gain customized, practical tools to build a good life. I help highly-sensitive, highly-intelligent people, including professionals in business, healthcare, the arts, education, emerging adults, and university students. They might have achieved success in some domain and now feel stuck, as past treatment modalities may have been ineffective. Many of these kind, caring, and strong individuals have survived significant trauma; I work to help them regain and improve agency, autonomy, competence, and relatedness through dialectical behavior therapy, teaching and learning, and social entrepreneurship, so they can live full lives with resilience, joy, and peace.

Asking for help can be a tremendously difficult task and you have already taken a great step in your own healing process. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, existential questions, relationship issues or other obstacles life might throw your way, we can define what therapy should look and feel like for you. My approach to therapy relational, person-centered, and exploratory. Treatment may include CBT and mindfulness exercises as tools to improve self-awareness and grounding in the present moment. Examining the relationship between your thoughts, emotions and behavioral patterns will help guide our work together in order to cultivate healing change.

In my experience, few individuals come to therapy feeling that “typical” treatment categories adequately capture their difficulties, hopes, and fears.
Instead, the individuals I work with sometimes describe feeling preoccupied by aspects of important relationships, blocked in their ability to express themselves authentically, or lacking self-confidence. Initially, some may even have trouble finding the right words to describe the changes they’d like to make. Finding these words—the right words—to describe what’s wrong and what relief would look like is a central part of treatment.

Sex, sexuality, and intimacy are concepts that we spend a lot of time pondering, but have few places or people in our lives where these topics are acceptable to bring up. The truth is everyone has sexual and intimacy concerns, but society doesn’t help us sort this stuff out. Messages about sex are everywhere in advertising, but real honest sex education is lacking. This leaves us to feel that we are isolated and alone. This can cause inner turmoil for people, and I want to create a safe environment where people can discuss their desires, fears, dreams, and beliefs about themselves. I believe that personal growth and self reflection come from support, guidance, and nurturance.

At Werking, we believe men’s mental health deserves the same attention as physical health. Too often, men are told to “push through” or stay silent, but real strength comes from doing the work of healing.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples looking to explore issues related to relationships, sex and sexuality. Often times shame, guilt, anxiety and sadness are the core emotions at the center of our distress. Together we can work towards facing some of these negative and uncomfortable feelings in order to lead you towards a path of healing and empowerment. In understanding yourself and your needs better I hope you can begin to feel more confident in making decisions, letting go of the things you may have been holding onto, or feeling more connected to yourself and others.

I work with men who are capable, responsible, and successful, yet feel lonely, disconnected, or quietly dissatisfied with their lives. Many describe going through the motions, holding things together for others, or feeling unsure why success, whether financial, familial, or romantic, hasn’t brought a deeper sense of fulfillment.

My approach is existential, relational and reflective, humorous at times, and focused on understanding how you’ve learned to manage closeness, responsibility, and uncertainty, and what that has required of you over time. Therapy is a space to think honestly, feel more connected, and explore who you want to be.
