Therapy for men navigating major life changes, including divorce, separation, career change, fatherhood, and retirement. About My Clients Many of the people that I work with are men who come to therapy during a time of difficult change. Divorce, separation, career changes, or retirement can leave a person wondering how they got to where they are and where to go from here. They often find value in a space where they can speak freely and be taken seriously without being judged or turned into a problem to solve. I also welcome those seeking morning sessions (7am and on) as well as Sundays. How I Can Help You By the time you are scanning therapy profiles, you may have hit a wall. People rarely look for help when life is smooth and you are likely here because you are struggling or exhausted. I know how much effort it takes to hold it all together before you reach the point of seeking help. Most of the men I work with are used to being the person that everyone counts on to keep life stable. You are likely the one who manages the stress and logistical pressure without complaining but that mindset may be ready to, or already has, bubbled over. I can help you navigate this. My style is collaborative and conversational, free from a rigid clinical agenda. I do not look at you as a broken machine that needs fixing but instead, we slow things down to look deeply at the expectations from society and yourself that you have been trying to fulfill. Ultimately, our work together is about helping you find the clarity to make deliberate choices and live your life on your own terms. Why I am a Good Fit for You My background includes extensive work with men in some of the most pressured circumstances imaginable, and I have a deep respect for the courage that it takes to decide to stop suffering through it alone. Because of this experience, I understand the weight that your responsibilities can have and am comfortable working through complex, difficult situations. I bring a straightforward, practical focus to our sessions, ensuring that our time centers completely on what is useful to you. We focus directly on the challenges and stressors you are navigating, creating a space where you can think carefully about your life with another person who will listen intently and take you seriously. I would be honored to share a space like that with you.
