Combining my own experience as a man in this culture, extensive training, and a passion for learning about masculinity, I have developed a successful way of quickly connecting with male clients, establishing trust and safety, and joining forces to create positive change.

Of the many surprises I encountered in my journey as a therapist, I was shocked how many men were hesitant, stigmatized, and outright resistant to therapy. There are good reasons for this: we teach boys to be stoic, strong, “sturdy oaks” who aren’t supposed to ask for help, admit to having fear and pain, or express “unmanly,” vulnerable emotions. These ideas are simply wrong. They are also harmful and toxic. Men are humans. Humans have emotions and problems, and we all need help sometimes. 

One of the more common issues men have that bring them into my office is problematic anger. I am a researcher, writer, national authority, and veteran therapist specializing in anger. I also have vast experience helping clients with anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship problems, career challenges, and general “stuckness” in life. 

I take a direct approach with clients, am curious and thoughtful, and I use a deep toolkit to customize my work with each client. I encourage questions, feedback, and honesty. My clients find me easy to talk to and quick to achieve solutions and growth. 

Take the first step, and let’s see if we are a potential good fit.
