Great to meet you!

My ideal clients are men stuck on "autopilot," sensing something vital is missing despite outward success. You may be struggling with anger, anxiety, or unaddressed emotions. You are ready to move beyond talk therapy and want active, experiential ways to rebuild your life. Whether you are at an existential crossroads, navigating substance use, or seeking to restore intimacy, I am here. You don't have to face this alone. If you want a nonjudgmental partner who understands the unique pressures you face and can help bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, let’s work together to reclaim your purpose.

I combine DBT and CBT with gender-responsive, experiential methods to help you break free from "autopilot." Moving beyond talk therapy, I offer hands-on, real-world skills to navigate anger, anxiety, and life's crossroads. I provide an empathic partnership focused on identifying what’s missing, helping you reclaim your purpose and live with genuine intention

Taking the first step is the hardest part, and I honor the courage it takes to reach out. You don't have to carry your burdens alone. Let’s create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate toward a more intentional life. Contact me today to schedule a consultation and begin the work of reclaiming the person you truly want to be.

My approach to therapy

My evidence-based treatment approach favors CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy. I start by visiting with you to explore the thoughts that brought you to therapy. We will examine your emotions, strengths, and life situation to choose a modality that helps you feel better and move forward in life.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will focus on building a comfortable, warm environment where we can get to know each other, find commonalities, and share a few laughs to put you at ease. We'll explore the thoughts, strengths, and emotions that brought you here, ensuring you feel heard and supported from the start. Together, we will identify a small, achievable goal to help you begin embracing the change you are ready to make. This collaborative foundation allows us to move beyond just talk therapy and start working toward the life you truly want to live.
