Courage • Mindset • Change

Men often reach out for therapy only when they hit their limit — burnout, relationship strain, emotional shutdown, or feeling like they’re carrying everything alone.

You don’t need to wait for a crisis.

I work with men who want straightforward conversation, honest insight, and practical strategies that actually make a difference. No jargon. No judgment. Just real work that moves you forward.

A Straight-Talking, Trauma-Informed Approach

Men often want therapy that’s real, direct, and grounded — not vague, overly clinical, or filled with jargon.

My work is shaped by years of supporting men in high-pressure, responsibility-heavy environments, including military members, first responders, and men in leadership roles. These are people conditioned to stay composed, push through and handle everything themselves.

This gives me a deep understanding of:

Emotional shutdown - Performance pressure - Identity loss - Trauma exposure - The instinct to “handle it alone” - Difficulty trusting support

My approach focuses on:

• Understanding the patterns driving your reactions

• Building emotional skills you weren’t taught growing up

• Strengthening your confidence, communication, and relationships

• Working through trauma without losing your stability

• Helping you move from survival mode into actual connection and clarity

This is practical, honest work that meets men where they truly are — not where they “should” be.

Who I work with

I work with men who are:

• High-functioning but burning out

• Carrying trauma, guilt, or emotional wounds

• Struggling with communication or emotional shutdown

• Feeling responsible for everyone else’s feelings

• Navigating relationship strain or loss

• Dealing with anger, numbness, or overwhelm

• Wanting to break generational patterns and become more grounded

You don’t have to be falling apart to benefit from therapy — just ready to be honest with yourself.

My work is direct, grounded, and collaborative. You won’t be talked down to. You won’t be judged. And you won’t be met with vague therapeutic language that leaves you guessing. Just real conversations that help you understand yourself and move forward with strength.
