Description
Empowering Men, Strengthening Relationships for all people.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or disconnecte? Do you struggle with balancing personal responsibilities, emotional health, and relationships? You’re not alone—and help is here.

Why Choose Me?

I provide a safe, confidential space where you can:
• Explore and express your thoughts without judgment.
• Develop practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and anger.
• Improve your relationships and understand underlying issues.
• Reclaim control of your life and well-being
Whether you’re seeking individual support or looking to work on your relationship, my approach is tailored to meet your unique needs.

Specialized Services Include:

• Men’s Mental Health: Addressing issues like work-related stress, fatherhood, trauma, and emotional well-being. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focus Therapy interventions to explore ways to challenge cognitions and explore new alternatives to problems.

• Couples Therapy: Navigating challenges such as communication breakdowns, intimacy struggles, infidelity, conflict resolution and non-monogamous relationships. I utilize Gottman Method interventions to support evidence based couples work.

• Trauma-Informed Care: Creating healing paths for individuals or couples impacted by past experiences.

• A Compassionate Approach: I provide a safe space for the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC people. Together, we’ll create a plan to foster personal growth and stronger relationships.
