Therapy for Men
Sound like you?
You did everything “right” but still feel alone.
Most men were never taught how to talk about their feelings. Instead, the message was to tough it out, stay in control, and keep moving. Maybe you heard things like “man up” or “don’t be weak,” and after a while, closing yourself off just felt easier than risking judgment or rejection.
But what started as protection can slowly turn into isolation. Over time, it can cut you off from your emotions, from the people you care about, and even from the part of you that wants to be seen for who you really are. You’ve worked hard to build your life, but underneath it all there’s still a heaviness, a sense of disconnection, and a question of why it doesn’t feel more satisfying.
How we’ll work together
Let’s get you back on track.
Working together means slowing down and paying attention to the parts of yourself you’ve learned to push aside. Maybe you’ve spent years trying to hold it all together — keeping control, solving problems, staying strong for everyone else. In here, you don’t have to do that. This is a space to let your guard down, to look at what’s really driving you, and to start understanding yourself in a deeper way.
Our work will be collaborative and intentional. We’ll explore how old beliefs, expectations, and ways of coping have shaped your life and your relationships. This isn’t about venting or getting quick answers. It’s a process of staying curious, working through what’s hard, and creating change that lasts.
Over time, this work can help you feel more grounded in yourself, more open in your relationships, and more at peace with who you are. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it — and you don’t have to do it alone.

Men face unique pressures around masculinity, emotional suppression, fiscal and career success, and being physically fit. They’re also more likely to feel ashamed about facing mental health struggles, which makes them less likely to reach out for help. As someone who specializes in working with men and who has a deep understanding of these issues, I can help you figure out what’s wrong and tackle the issues you’re facing.

It’s definitely a part of the work, but we’ll come up for air and shift to lighter topics when you need it. My biggest priority is making sure you feel safe and understood, and we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

It really depends on what’s going on in your life and how much support you need and want. Many of my clients have been with me for over a year because they enjoy talking to someone who gets them, and others decide to move on after accomplishing their therapy goals. I’ll help you figure out what makes sense for you.
