As men, we often tell ourselves, "It's not that bad, I'm good" and brush off our issues. Men are experiencing unique challenges and pressures in our society. With balancing the complexities of manhood and pressures to adhere to masculinity, some men are finding themselves frustrated and confused in how to navigate life. Whether you're juggling issues at work, feeling disconnected from your loved ones, or feeling depressed/anxious, know that you're not alone. The traditional notions of masculinity often discourage emotional vulnerability and disclosure, promoting instead an image of stoicism, strength, and self-reliance.

I serve as a companion for those who seek to find peace and empowerment through healing and growth. Many do not realize when we are operating in an unhealthy mind/ body state because we believe the environment is the lone cause of our unease. The prevalent cause of our misery and frustration usually lies in: unresolved pain, unhealthy thought processes, and lack of confidence and power which keeps us on a maladaptive road of misery or stagnation. The good news is that you hold the key to your healing and I would be delighted to guide you in using it. Immigration Psychosocial Evaluations are also offered.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
