Men's Issues

I offer a supportive space for men to explore and address challenges related to identity, emotional expression, and personal growth. This includes men who have historically been skeptical of therapy yet find themselves seeking support. Whether it's societal expectations, relationship dynamics, parenting, or self-esteem, we can create a space to unpack the challenges we often face. Embracing both strengths and vulnerabilities, we can move towards a more fulfilling, authentic life.

Guys, you deserve therapy, too. I have experience working with men's issues, including anxiety, depression, masculinity, identity issues, fatherhood, and learning how to better communicate your needs. Here, you'll find a space that honors your perspective and doesn't try to "fix" you, but instead helps you identify what you need and how to communicate it.

Associated with the mental health challenges that stem from emotional repression, harmful stereotyping, and other examples of "toxic masculinity."

Many men face stigma around seeking therapy due to societal norms and expectations. Toxic masculinity perpetuates the belief that men should be stoic, self-reliant, and unemotional, discouraging them from expressing vulnerability or seeking help. This leads to untreated mental health issues, emotional suppression, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. By challenging these stereotypes and promoting a culture of openness and support, I strive to help men feel comfortable seeking the care they need.

I work with all men to address sexual performance anxieties, desire discrepancies, porn and/or substance use, and communication difficulties. I also help straight-identified men understand and appreciate their attraction to trans women.

I am able to talk openly with you about whatever issues that you're having with your marriage, when it comes to sex, your anxiety revolving around sex, and things that you might be embarrassed about telling your partner. I truly have a judgement free zone and I have already seen many things in life as I am 50 years old and I am here to help you overcome whatever challenges that you're facing.

As a man, you may be used to: Solving your own problems Not asking for help Avoiding talking with others about things that cause you stress and upset Believing that there is something “unmanly” about seeking and participating in counseling Again, you are not alone. There are numerous reasons that boys and men in our culture would choose to suffer in private silence than admit to another person that there is something they cannot fix on their own. In addition, it’s sometimes tough to go to your friends or family for support, or they are simply not helpful. And searching for solutions on the internet and in books has it’s limits (and can be confusing and frustrating, too). Now, you are still struggling and are thinking about seeking the help of someone like me: a men’s counselor. In our culture, there are expectations for men not to be “weak” or “vulnerable” and to hide emotions or be “warriors.” However, it’s a myth that talking about your problems and how you feel about them will somehow, magically, make you less of a man. Not true. Times are changing, and men need to learn critical skills like emotional intelligence, communication skills, stress management and relationship building. That’s where men’s counseling can help.

As a counselor, it is my goal to help you gain awareness and insight into your current stressors and emotions.

Men come to see me for many reasons. Sometimes my male clients are seeking support or guidance around a transition or life event and find that they're not sure who they can trust with their innermost thoughts. Sometimes it's that they have reached the goals they set out to reach but don't feel satisfied. Other times, men come to see me when a relationship with a loved one is feeling challenging. I will listen without judgment, explore with you, and offer my authentic reflections.

I provide a safe and validating therapeutic environment for men to explore concerns they may not feel comfortable sharing with others.

Anger and Anxiety have you feeling out of control and threatening to ruin your relationships. It seems to come out of nowhere and you spend a lot of time and energy, back tracking and trying to make amends. At the end of the day, you want to do better and be better. I help MEN who struggle with anger learn how to manage their emotions so they can have better relationships at home and a work.

Being a man in our culture comes with privilege and power, and also a host of challenges. Not every man has the same "issues" or experiences whatever challenges he has in the same way. However, from my experience leading men's groups and working with a diverse range of men as individual clients and as part of relationships; I believe there are some common hurdles for us to jump. We cannot escape gender, but I would love to work with you to see what influence being a man has had on your life.

Highlighting current struggles around men's mental health, sexuality, and physical health in regards to aging, relationship dynamics, and attachment styles. I help break down old patterns that get in the way of a modernized view of masculinity, from a non-toxic perspective without deconstruction of one's masculine sense of self. Emotions and understanding them, how to work with empathy, and how to find vulnerability within your relationships.

I love to work with men and exclusively worked with men for 9 years. I enjoy how fast men work through their issues and that they are not afraid to join in on self healing. I am proud to work with this courageous group.

I specialize in addressing the unique psychological needs of men, focusing on challenges like emotional repression, societal expectations, and masculinity. My approach creates a supportive environment that encourages men to explore and express their emotions openly, fostering greater emotional health and resilience.

I have a deep passion for helping men with their mental health. I believe that all men can have a healthy and constructive space to talk about their mental health. I encourage you to give me a call. I offer a free 15 minute consultation for us to talk more about counseling.

Men come to see me for a wide range of reasons. Sometimes my male clients are seeking support or guidance around a transition or life event and find that they're not sure who they can trust with their innermost thoughts. Sometimes it's that they find they have reached the goals they set out to reach but don't quite feel satisfied. Other times, men come to see me when a relationship with a loved one is feeling challenging. Feeling listened to without judgment can be a

Let me support you in navigating issues specific to what it means to identify as male. I can offer a fresh perspective and experience working with men from a variety of backgrounds.

As a cis man, and through my work with male clients, I seek to explore and interrogate what it means to "be a man" in today's society. I believe that you are "already a man," regardless of how one does or does not fit into societal stereotypes. I support others in the struggles that come with the attempts to live up to impossible standards and challenge the status quo, helping individuals become true to themselves, regardless of others' perceptions.
