Therapy for Men

Reconnecting with yourself doesn’t make you weak—it makes you whole.

A Passion for Men’s Mental Health

There is a shift happening when it comes to the importance of creating spaces for men to focus on their mental and emotional well-being. It is my mission to create a space where men can feel safe to express all their complex thoughts and feelings and challenge preconceived notions about what it means to be a man.

If you are a man, who struggles with anxiety, depression, ADHD, conflict/intimacy avoidance, failure to launch, lack of fulfillment at work, difficulty with relationships or feeling misunderstood and unseen I invite you to reach out.

So often men feel there is a limit to what they are allowed to say, feel or need. Let’s work together to challenge these beliefs and help you feel like you are able to show up more fully, openly and authentically in your relationships, work and life.

For a lot of men, therapy wasn’t something you were ever taught to consider. You learned to cope by pushing through, staying in control, or keeping your feelings to yourself. Maybe you’re successful on paper but feel lost, frustrated, or disconnected underneath. You might not even be sure what’s wrong—you just know something feels off.

This is the space where we slow down and get curious about that.

What often brings men to therapy?

The men I work with are thoughtful, driven, and often high-functioning - but under the surface, they’re carrying:

  • Constant self-criticism or imposter syndrome

  • Anger or irritability that builds up and spills over

  • Unprocessed grief that has been buried away

  • Feeling emotionally flat or checked out in relationships

  • Anxiety that doesn’t let up

  • Shame around past choices or trauma

  • A sense of being “on” all the time, but disconnected inside

  • Struggles with substance use or excessive video gaming, as a way to cope or disconnect

  • feeling withdrawn, isolated, and lack of meaningful support

Whether you’re struggling with relationships, anxiety, identity, or just don’t feel like yourself anymore, therapy can help you get back in touch with the parts of you that have been hidden or shut down.

  • Emotional disconnection and numbness

  • People-pleasing and perfectionism

  • Difficulty expressing needs or setting boundaries

  • Relationship struggles (romantic, family, or work)

  • Managing ADHD and overstimulation

  • Grief, shame, and unprocessed trauma

  • The pressure to “perform” or keep it all together

  • Feeling like you don’t really know who you are

Common themes in my work with men

LGBTQ+ Men

As a gay man or queer-identifying man, you may carry the weight of expectations that were never made for you. You’ve had to navigate not only the pressure of masculinity, but also the invisible (and visible) ways your identity has been questioned, misunderstood, or erased.

Maybe you’ve worked hard to build a life you’re proud of—but still feel disconnected, unseen, or like parts of yourself have been left out of the story.

Whether you're out and confident or still navigating your identity, there is space for all of you.

Common themes I explore with LGBTQ+ men:

  • Internalized shame or fear of being “too much” or “not enough”

  • Difficulty trusting intimacy—especially with other men

  • Feeling caught between strength and vulnerability

  • Identity fatigue: always having to explain, translate, or prove yourself

  • Trauma related to rejection, bullying, or family dynamics

  • Sex, dating, and emotional intimacy

  • Grief and loneliness that’s hard to name

  • The pressure to appear successful and happy

You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain your identity before you get to explore your emotional world. My work with LGBTQ+ men is rooted in respect, nuance, and the belief that your queerness is not a problem to be solved—it’s part of your wholeness.

Couples Therapy for Same-Sex Couples

I work with same-sex couples who are navigating a range of relational challenges—from communication breakdowns to emotional distance to questions around trust and commitment. This work is affirming, nuanced, and grounded in the belief that your relationship deserves space to deepen and evolve—without judgment.

Common themes in therapy with same-sex couples:

  • Struggles with vulnerability or emotional shutdown

  • Communication patterns that lead to misunderstanding or conflict

  • Navigating differences in desire, attachment, or emotional needs

  • Rebuilding trust after a rupture or betrayal

  • Exploring questions about monogamy, open relationships, or polyamory

  • Feeling pressure to appear like “the perfect couple” while struggling underneath

  • Tension between independence and intimacy

  • The impact of past trauma or shame on current connection

  • Fear of losing yourself in the relationship—or fear of truly being seen

This work matters to me.

As a therapist who works extensively with men, I know how powerful it can be when you finally give yourself permission to talk honestly—without fear of being judged or shamed. I bring warmth, directness, and a grounded sense of humor into the room.

We’ll go deep, but we’ll do it in a way that feels human, not clinical.
