Great to meet you!

I work primarily with men and young adults dealing with anxiety, emotional shutdown, anger, panic, burnout, shame, relationship struggles, or trauma. Many of my clients understand their patterns clearly but still feel trapped repeating them. If you're done circling the same problems and ready to move forward, that's the work I do.

My approach to therapy

Direct doesn't mean cold. I developed the McInnis Method around a simple idea: what looks like the problem often began as a solution. We look at what's driving the pattern, what it has been protecting you from, and what it's costing you now. The goal isn't collecting more insight. It's using insight to make different choices where they matter.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a straight conversation, not an intake interrogation. We start where you are, with what's going on now and what it's costing you, at a pace you can stay with. Most clients leave that first hour feeling clearer, with a real sense of where the work is headed. From there, we move toward specific steps and look honestly at whether they're working.
