Men’s Issues

As men, we’re often taught we’re supposed to be tough, independent, and in control. Unfortunately, if we’re successful at being a “real man”, we’ll probably also end up feeling isolated, empty, and disconnected. I want you to know that there is another way to live. The world needs us as men to do our work, and I’m here to support you growing the skills you need to be a true protector, a provider, and a man of integrity. Working with me, therapy functions as a gym for building the various skills we need through dedication, discipline, and courage.

Changing Habit Patterns

Habits- whether “bad” or “healthy”- are learned behaviors. Changing unhealthy habits and building more effective habits requires understanding the habit’s function and the pattern, recognizing even small moments of choice, and incorporating changes at a sustainable pace. I support you developing more effective strategies to resource yourself, strengthen the sense of self-trust, and experiencing greater freedom and empowerment in relationship to your life.

Couples Counseling

There’s no bad time for a couple to call in support. Often people come when conflicts have become overwhelming. Others want to build healthy habits for this primary relationship. My role is helping you more clearly see the patterns playing out, slowing down the process when needed to explore emotions that derail conversations, and identifying new habits that serve you. Ultimately, you determine was “success” means, and I guide us towards that goal. In general, couples leave sessions with greater clarity, agency, and honesty about the relationship than at the outset often uncovering pathways to deeper connection.

Shame Resilience

Our inner critic/shame shows up in many forms. Its essential story is that we’re not enough. Through our sessions, you build the skills to courageously witness shame stories while releasing the pain that comes from believing them. As your skills grow, you’ll recognize shame more quickly, and move through it with greater ease. The goal here is to reclaim your freedom to live authentically, set healthy boundaries, deeply trust others and yourself, and act from a place of integrity rather than being ruled by what others think you “should” be.

Belief Change Therapy (EMDR)

We create beliefs about ourselves and the world from our life experiences. In Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), we identify and unravel beliefs that no longer fit your life today. I offer steady support- helping you stay present as the story dissolves before our eyes. Many clients report a natural sense of freedom and peace as old beliefs lose their grip, and more current and accurate beliefs quietly take their place.

Spirituality

Spirituality is a powerful lens for understanding life, meaning, and growth- but it is never a requirement for working with me. I welcome people of all faiths, traditions, or none at all, and arrive as a curious witness to help you explore your beliefs, practices, and the ways they inform your emotions, decisions, and relationships. We can look through the lens of spirit together to better understand your life, to speak and act in greater alignment with your values, and consider how this life is unfolding in support of your highest potential.
