Great to meet you!

I am an experienced therapist who has been in the mental health field for decades. I have a deep respect for the therapeutic process and engage with care.

I specialize in helping men understand their internal world and develop the emotional language they were never taught. My style is calm, steady and collaborative. I help you slow down, notice what's happening beneath the surface and make sense of it.

I will help you develop your emotional vocabulary. I will help you put words to your feelings so you can better communicate and become closer to those you love.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including but certainly not limited to CBT, psychodynamics, and developmental psychology. I am patient but also motivated to help Clients change to become healthier and more fulfilled in their lives.

In working with men, I have learned to help them navigate difficult life stages. I've helped young men with launching, middle aged men with finding an identity and older men with finding purpose.

What you can expect from me

Many men come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their emotions. I help them build clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of themselves. I ask questions designed to open up their inner world: Who are you? What drives you? What truly matters to you? What experiences may be holding you back from living the life you want? How have the events of your life shaped your sense of identity? What messages did you absorb in childhood that still influence you today?

Most Clients leave the first session feeling clearer about what's been happening internally.
