I work with men who worry part of them is broken. Nothing you do or accomplish seems to fix the sense that something is wrong or missing. You’ve tried meds, self-help, or even psychedelics, and you’re wondering if maybe you’re just incapable of really being present and enjoying your life. Maybe your mind is full of regrets, missed opportunities, and comparisons to others. You know there’s more to life, but you just can’t figure out how to tap into it. You sense that if you don’t look at all this, your relationships will suffer and life will pass you by.
You just want to feel alive again – like you know who you are, you’re free to be you, and your relationships are fulfilling. And when life’s challenges come, you move through them fluidly. By re-connecting to what’s inside – your heart, your feelings, your spirit – through therapy, you can finally embrace your life again.
It’s a journey of exploration, and though it’s not always easy, it rewards. I'm genuinely interested in what's going on with you, and I offer day and evening appointments online, which can be convenient for your busy schedule. Book your free consultation with me today, and let’s see if we could be a good fit.
