As males in our dysfunctional culture, we tend to collectively face some particular challenges: Feeling truly “grown up” in the absence of adequate rites of passage, Living in integrity with our sexuality (e.g., in the age of online porn and the “me too” movement), Finding meaning beyond our work identities and consumerism, Transcending limiting (and often toxic) stereotypes of "masculinity,” Learning how to (re)-connect more deeply with ourselves and with others. We will aim to address these issues directly – as well as whatever other issues each man brings to the table. NOTE: All new members must commit to a minimum of four sessions.

My style is casual and egalitarian. I see us as equals working together to improve the quality of your experience of being alive. In my lucid moments, I am powerfully aware that the causes of our suffering are not our circumstances, but rather how we perceive them and relate to them. Fortunately, these are things we CAN change. Thus my aim as a therapist is to help you change your moment-to-moment a p p r o a c h to being alive, regardless of circumstance. I find that if we truly change our WAY of showing up in the world, our circumstances tend to naturally change along with us.

Whether you or a loved one are grappling with depression, anxiety, anger, or the effects of past trauma, you’re here because you seek change. I’m passionate about helping men confront their pain and unhappiness to discover healthier ways to feel and connect.

Together, we’ll work to unravel the challenges you face, empowering you to find true safisfaction and contentment while building fulfilling relationships. Change is possible, and you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
Seeing yourself in others and vice versa; leaning into vulnerability while at your own pace; adding your ideas and value and receiving the same from others, sometimes without even asking. That is what you can expect from a process group. We look at how and when you interact, and we also engage in expanding your abilities by learning with and from others.

I believe that improving your relationship with yourself improves everything. No matter what your presenting issues are, you are there as part of the equation. My approach is both practical and insight-oriented, and my goal is to help you understand what ways you can better take care of yourself by providing you the skills you need, and a vision to become who you want to be.
Perhaps you’re a newly committed couple seeking a strong start. Or you’re in a longtime relationship that’s going through a rough patch. When we partner with another person, we bring together two different sets of values, beliefs and world views. Over time these differences, often combined with poor communication, can lead to power struggles, conflict and even pain. It doesn’t have to be this way. At The Couples College, we have created an easy, intimate, even fun learning experience based on proven research and techniques. Our goal is to teach you new skills to manage any situation, no matter how difficult.

For men, relationships are often our greatest challenges. We begin a committed partnership filled with love, hope and great expectations. Over time, we may experience a growing sense of distance from our partner. Suddenly, we feel powerless in our efforts to create more intimacy and restore connection. I draw on my 30-plus years of experience as a relationship expert to guide you through the often poorly navigated journey of partnership. In an environment that is uplifting, non-judgmental and supportive, we talk about the relationship challenges all men face, and share the secrets to a healthier and happier partnership.

Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated when outcomes do not meet your expectations? Burdened with beliefs that keep you feeling stuck? Increased emotional reactivity and negative behavior?

Stress, perceived failure, and/or hopelessness don't have to define you. Our lived experiences inform, not define.

You may notice feeling overwhelmed, not yourself, or experiencing psychological challenges. We all have many parts - some react, some retreat, some feel stuck, some resign to life's circumstances. These parts of us are well-intended, but can overshadow, inhibiting our true Self - reacting to stories rather than responding to facts. Obstacles, hardships, stress, and psychological challenges don't have to define you. We will help you build upon strengths, gain new perspective, redefine stories that no longer fit, and form a stronger, healthier connection with self and others.

Men's Issues Support Groups
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
