Individual & Men's Issues Counseling

Something I have noticed as a therapist is that feelings and metaphors can resonate deeply with a person. My website is a good way to get to know me and how I work to help people, but ultimately it is for you to tell me what you need. Let's start there.

Individual Counseling

Many people are interested in individual counseling for a wide array of situations, including for relational concerns. These can be with a partner, an ex spouse, as adullt children facing continuing parental challenges, or as a parent oneself. Other reasons people contact me is to address past trauma (including complex trauma), generalized anxiety, an awareness of neurodivergence, feelings of depression and recovery from failed relationships are other examples of dynamics where people seek out my assistance. We can find resilience even when we don't feel we have that capacity available to us in abundance - in this moment.

Men's Issues

Men deserve therapy, too. It's okay to have questions, reservations even, and sometimes we need a space to voice concerns and issues social conditioning says we should just gut out in silence. Silence is cancerous, in so many ways. You deserve space to explore what leaves you with unanswered questions, whatever the topic.

Partners of Adult Survivors of Trauma

Loving someone who has survived abuse or other significant trauma can sometimes feel both challenging and confusing. You may feel helpless when your partner struggles with triggers, emotional withdrawal, or trust issues. You might wonder how to support them without saying the wrong thing, or feel frustrated when intimacy or communication becomes complicated. These feelings are normal, and seeking support for yourself isn't a betrayal; it actually says you care for both yourself and your relationship.

I work with partners, particularly men, who often have fewer social resources available, to help understand trauma's impact on relationships and develop skills to support your partner while maintaining your own sense of well-being. Using attachment-based and Emotion-Focused approaches, we'll explore how to navigate difficult moments, communicate effectively about sensitive topics, and strengthen your connection. This work isn't about fixing your partner; it's about equipping you with tools to be a supportive presence while honoring your own needs and personal boundaries.
