No one wakes up and feels badly about themselves or their situations – this occurs over time. This usually results from the messages that we received from unhealthy people around us, toxic environments, or unrealistic pressures from society. As men, the weight of these negative forces can be unbearable. And perhaps therapy is your 'last ditch effort' to gain understanding in who you are and what you want from life.
I work with men from all walks of life. Whether it's depression, anxiety, relationships, unconventional life circumstances, or what words cannot describe – I am here to support you. Our sessions are about you deepening and rediscovering your sense of self and improving your ability to navigate the stress that causes difficulty.
It might be scary to start this process, but it is important for you to know that this journey doesn’t have to be ventured on your own and is done at your pace. If you aren't quite sure about the next steps or have additional questions, please feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.
