I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and asks how that makes you feel. That’s not what most men need, especially when it feels like it’s falling apart. I work with men who are overwhelmed, burned out, or angry and don’t know why. Men who feel stuck in their heads, disconnected from the people they love, or like they’re always one step away from snapping. Some are facing divorce. Others are trying to be better dads, partners, or sons, but they often feel like they’re failing. Many were pushed into therapy by someone who cares about them. Almost all of them stay once they realize it helps. My approach is practical, honest, and built for the real world. I use tools from CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, plus a good dose of common sense to help you understand what’s going on and actually do something about it. No psychobabble. No lectures. Just straight talk and strategies that work. If you're tired of feeling angry, lost, or numb, it's going to be okay. You're not broken, and you're not alone. This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about finding your footing and getting back to who you were before life got so heavy.

You won’t find me in a blazer with a clipboard asking, *“And how does that make you feel?”* I show up in jeans and a t-shirt, ready to create a space that’s real, safe, and grounded in trust. Therapy with me feels more like a conversation than a clinical interrogation.

I believe trauma requires more than textbook techniques—it requires presence, patience, and a genuine connection. My style is relaxed, honest, and supportive. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, without judgment or pressure, and we’ll work together to help you feel whole again. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical or cold—it can be real, raw, and even a little bit human. That’s what I offer.
