You're successful, but you keep hitting ceilings you can't get past. You work tirelessly, are a non-stop learner and do-er and your efforts seem fruitless. You're driven, and systemic barriers keep holding you back. You give until you have nothing left to give and you have no idea how to get your own needs met in return.

Finding the right therapist is difficult, isn't it? So hard to tell from reading the profile if she will be a good match for you. Perhaps you are asking yourself questions like "Do I really want to do this?", "Can I speak freely to a stranger?", "How do I know she will understand me and my issues?", or "How does therapy work?" It's understandable to have reservations. Call/e-mail me to set up a free, no obligation session and we can address your concerns. You'll be able to tell if you feel safe and heard.

I have worked for 13+ years helping others understand themselves in order to find freedom, to live a meaningful life defined by themselves. I specialize working with men struggling to find their place in the current society that has left them behind. Most treatment has not adequately been developed deal with men’s issues, as evidence by the large but silent mental health crisis within men and boys. Men’s emotional expression such as anger and irritability are often pathologized and punished, opposed to being heard for the underlying cause and I look to change that.
