Our world is undeniably gendered, and there are unique challenges, special strengths, and certain spoken and unspoken expectations that come with navigating the male experience. I create a therapeutic space that is conversational, non-judgmental, connective, and supportive to help you process, understand, and cope with your personal challenges. I particularly enjoy working with men who are looking to use their analytical strengths to expand their skill set in the realm of emotional awareness.

My professional experience includes being an embedded psychologist in a U.S. Special Ops squadron on Europe and Power 5 Conference NCAA university athletic departments. I have learned that most men benefit from cognitive processing and cognitive-behavioural approaches, with a touch of humanism. I have experience working with men who are confronting relationship issues, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings with adults and teens.  In my outpatient practice, I focus on transitions we experience at all life stages, grief/loss, relationship issues, stress, anxiety, depression and related problems. My approach is client-centered and forefronts your unique experience, making our work very collaborative. My role is to be an objective, accepting and reflective person that welcomes you to really examine all aspects of yourself and your existence in the world. I provide a safe space to increase your openness to life experiences, and confront barriers to develop insight-driven movement.

“The world is changing at a rate faster than our ability to adapt to that change.” – Astro Teller

If this is true, no wonder you’re frustrated, exhausted, getting stuck in numbing and escaping behaviors, and wondering if this is all there is to modern life. The demands of life (relationships, marriage, parenting, career, personal health, mental health) are more than you can handle and you often are just trying to make it to the end of the day.

I specialize in working with men and helping them get relief from everyday demands, so they can go deep in their most important relationships.

Life is full of storms. The ebbs and flows they bring can leave anyone feeling shipwrecked. My role as a counselor is a grounding one: to equip and enable you to find light through the darkness. I work with men and women that have experienced depressions, anger, or past hurts that are causing their futures to look bleak.

Are you struggling with life and want to gain back some control? Have life’s challenges gotten overwhelming for you? Are you ready for change, but don’t yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality? Many men often feel overwhelmed and anxious about what they’re feeling and how to make the changes necessary to live a rich, full, and meaningful life.

Utilizing evidence-based treatment modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I believe that change can happen and that the past doesn’t equal the future. You can begin to change your life by focusing on what’s in front of you. Let’s start making that change today!

I specialize in helping men manage anxiety, infidelity, couple’s issues, trauma, and PTSD. I mainly use Solution-Focused Therapy as an approach, a model that focuses on strengths, resilience, and achieving goals. I am also EMDR trained. EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an effective therapy for healing trauma, stress, and negative patterns. Using guided eye movements, it helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact. I also sub-specialize in those in the first responder profession.

You’ve likely done a lot of things “right”. From career to relationships, even past therapy – but does something feel off? Maybe you might feel disconnected, burned out, or like you’re performing a role rather than living your life. I specialize in working with men like you who are striving to reconcile their past, find meaning in their present, and create a more fulfilling future. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, perfectionism, life transitions, or substance issues, therapy can be a powerful space to get out of your head and reconnect with yourself.
