Therapy and Coaching for Men

Is A Particular Challenge Weighing You Down Or Impeding Your Life?

As a hard-working man who’s experienced success in many areas of your life, you may not be used to struggling or asking for help. You have a good job, along with a solid support system, and you’ve accomplished a lot along the way. But there’s this one thing that is getting in the way of everything else, and the stress is mounting as you search for solutions. You are used to taking care of things on your own. Why is this so hard?

Maybe you’re worried about your work, whether you’re not as far along in your career as you’d hoped to be or anxious about how much you earn. You might find yourself comparing yourself to your peers and feeling less successful. Or maybe you pour your life into your career, leaving little room to do much else.

If you’re single, you may be frustrated by the modern world of dating. You may have a pattern of dating the wrong person or are unable to find someone worth dating at all, and you’re not sure how to get what you want. Or maybe you’ve gone through a breakup that has left you questioning what you could have done differently.

On the other hand, you might be married, maybe with a family of your own, yet feeling overwhelmed and dissatisfied with your life. You experience so much pressure because everyone relies on you, but it’s hard to admit to yourself—let alone others—that something is missing.

Has The Stress Reached Its Boiling Point?

For a lot of men, stress translates to many other issues in their lives. You may regularly feel anxious and worried about the future, unable to sleep at night. You might feel sad, empty, or lonely. To everyone else, you want to appear successful and in control, but deep down, you feel like you’re failing.

You’ve managed to hit all your targets thus far, so why are you feeling defeated? And why is this so hard to resolve on your own?

You want to feel better. You want to do better. You want to be better. And in therapy, we can work together to tackle the obstacles that many men face—you are not alone. You just need the right tools.

Many Men Fear That Needing Therapy Indicates Weakness, But The Opposite Is True

Life has thrown you a curveball, and you weren’t prepared to swing. Like any successful athlete, you require a world-class coach to develop the skills needed to hit a home run. After all, no one with skill and success has ever gotten there alone.

The men I work with in therapy have often encountered one obstacle in their lives that has started to affect everything else. And though they might have good friends, a long-term partner, or supportive family members, they have a hard time managing their stress. Under pressure to fulfill the role of strong, masculine, and resilient provider, they strive to appear as the men they are expected to be.

Wouldn’t it be great to have the right person to talk to? A private experience where you could figure out what’s wrong and how to make it different? The counseling process offers new skills, strategies, and ways of thinking. With support that is both individualized and action-oriented, you can achieve your goals.

As A Therapist, I Specialize In Men’s Issues

My aim as a therapist is to help the men I work with identify their struggles in real time so they can understand what’s needed to take control of the situation and overcome it. Focusing on present and future goals, the therapy process is designed to get you to a place where you feel better, more hopeful, and more sure about what to do next.

Counseling begins with figuring out where the curveball originated—whether it has something to do with your past relationships, early experiences, or the cultural messages given to men in general. However, though past elements are important, we’ll spend most of therapy identifying how issues are affecting you in the present and what you envision for the future. My job is to listen, point out possible blind spots, and make sure you have the information you need to hit your target.

My clients often tell me that my direct, goal-oriented approach makes them feel like I “get it,” allowing them to implement solutions quickly. I have over 20 years of experience coaching and counseling men in therapy, and they look forward to the process knowing they will achieve their goals and feel better.

If you are ready to free yourself of the stress, anxiety, and pressure that is holding you back, I am here to tell you that your problem is solvable. Through our work together, you can have more joy, more fulfilling relationships, and an overall better quality of life.

Common Concerns Men Have About Therapy…

I’m worried the therapeutic process won’t be confidential.

Therapy is a completely confidential process. I understand that the information you share in counseling is personal, and it will stay entirely between you and me.

In terms of others, it’s ultimately up to you what you choose to share with your partner, family, or friends. Either way, we can resolve your issue so that it is no longer a problem in your life.

I’m concerned that therapy will take a long time.

The men I work with do not have time to waste in therapy. They want clear, focused objectives and actionable solutions.

This process doesn’t have to take long. As we identify your goals, I will design a plan and provide you with the tools needed to put that plan into action. If you’re anything like the other men I’ve worked with in therapy, you’ll probably start to feel better and see results in the first few sessions.

I have a busy schedule and can’t commit to consistent weekly sessions.

Appointments are scheduled as frequently or infrequently as you’d like. I can be flexible from week to week and am happy to accommodate your schedule if you work and/or travel a lot. And I often have same-day or same-week appointments if needed.

Additionally, appointments are conducted via Zoom, which means you can meet from wherever it’s convenient and reduce time spent commuting.
