Therapy for Men
Sessions in-person in boston and online across ma, me, NY & FL
Sound like you?
You did everything “right” but still feel alone.
Most men were never taught how to talk about their feelings. The message was to tough it out, stay in control, and keep moving. Maybe you heard things like “man up,” “don’t be weak,” or “handle it yourself.” Over time, shutting things down felt safer than risking judgment or rejection.
You learned how to function, perform, and push through. You stay busy and productive. You keep things light or intellectual when emotions come close. It works on the surface, and people likely see you as someone who has it together.
Over time, that way of operating can create distance. You feel disconnected from your emotions, unsure what you actually need, and alone even in relationships that matter to you. You’ve built a life that looks solid from the outside, yet something feels off underneath. There’s a heaviness that’s hard to name and a sense of going through the motions without feeling fully in it.
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. You may have spent years holding it all together, staying in control, and showing up for everyone else. In here, there’s room to set some of that down and look more closely at what’s driving you. If this pattern feels familiar, you might recognize it in how men relate to anger and what sits underneath it.
Our work is collaborative and intentional. We’ll explore how old beliefs, expectations, and ways of coping have shaped your life and your relationships. It’s a process of staying curious, working through what’s hard, and creating change that holds up over time.
Over time, this work can help you feel more grounded in yourself, more open in your relationships, and more at ease with who you are. It can be challenging at points, and you won’t be doing it on your own.
You don’t need to have it all figured out — you just need a space where you can talk openly and be met with compassion.

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.
