Great to meet you!

I help men who feel stuck, behind in life, or disconnected from themselves. If you find yourself overthinking, avoiding things you know matter, or struggling to stay consistent, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll understand what’s keeping you stuck and build a path forward that feels clear and manageable.

My approach to therapy

Many of the men I work with aren’t lacking discipline. They’re overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to start. This can show up as anxiety, low motivation, procrastination, or difficulty following through.

In our work together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what’s underneath these patterns. Using CBT and insight-oriented approaches, I help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected—so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and consistency.

What you can expect from me

My style is collaborative, direct, and grounded. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you reconnect with yourself and move forward in a way that actually works.
