Men’s Mental Health
You shouldn’t have to carry it all — especially not alone.
One of the most common challenges men face when it comes to mental health is navigating the weight of societal expectations — the pressure to appear strong, stoic, and always in control. The message often sounds like: “You’re supposed to have it all together.”
Feeling doesn’t make you “weak.”
Struggling doesn’t make you “less than.”
It makes you human.
Biologically, we all have the same nervous system — the same emotional wiring that responds to pressure, pain, and life’s demands.
The truth is, being human means experiencing emotion, stress, uncertainty, anxiety, and struggle. And that truth doesn’t change based on gender.
My approach to men’s mental health therapy…
When I work with men, I take an approach that respects your strength while also honoring your vulnerability — without rushing either. You’re allowed to go at your own pace.
Therapy isn’t about forcing emotion out of you or digging into things before you’re ready. It’s about creating a space where you can feel comfortable showing up — without the expectations you carry outside this room.
Let’s be honest: for many, the idea of therapy immediately brings up the word “feelings,” and that can be intimidating. The process of accessing and expressing emotion can feel unfamiliar — even overwhelming or daunting — especially if you were never taught how to do that safely or effectively.
That’s why I focus first on helping you understand yourself before pushing you to “feel” before you’re ready.
A partnership, not a performance
As a therapist, I naturally take on the role of an educator. I tend to lead with my left brain — the part that seeks to understand before diving into emotion.
Therapy doesn’t have to always start with feelings — sometimes it starts with understanding.
I believe that when you understand how your brain, body, and past experiences are working behind the scenes, you're more equipped to navigate your emotional world with confidence.
This balanced, collaborative approach allows us to integrate logic and emotion — thinking and feeling — so that therapy is meaningful and sustainable.
I often tell my clients: “I want you to know what I know, because everyone deserves to be taught what therapists are taught.” This is a space where we learn from each other. You’re the expert on your life.
I’m here to listen, to ask the right questions, and to offer tools that support you in living that life with greater clarity, balance, and choice.
There are no expectations here. You don’t have to perform or pretend. You can show up exactly as you are — whether you’re a deep feeler or just starting to explore what that even means.
Therapy with me isn’t about changing who you are — it’s about helping you release the pressure of who you’ve been expected to be.
