Counseling for Men

(page under construction)

Life can throw a lot at us men—stress at work, relationship struggles, grief & loss—and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But if you’re like a lot of guys, asking for help might feel like the last thing you should do. Maybe you tell yourself you’ve got to tough it out, or that talking about it won’t change anything.

The truth? Ignoring those feelings doesn’t make them go away. Over time, they can wear you down, affecting your mood, your health, and even the people around you. You don’t have to deal with it alone.

Therapy isn’t about admitting defeat—it’s about figuring out what’s actually going on and finding a way forward. It is a sign of strength to ask for the help you need. Let’s talk.

My work with men's issues deals with many common struggles men specifically face. Iknow first hand about the real challenges that can weigh heavily when faced with these kinds of issues all alone.

There are common stories I work with in my practice:

"You kept your head down and pushed through—until you hit the wall."

The grind was supposed to mean something. You’ve worn the overtime like a badge of honor. Skipped breaks, ignored aches, and never called out—because bills don’t pay themselves, and respect is earned through sweat. And that’s what a man does, right? All to build the life you thought you were supposed to want.

Except now, even the small stuff feels heavy. Your body’s tired, your mind’s foggy, and that voice in the back of your head won’t shut up: "Is this really it?"

Turns out, hustling won’t fill the tank when you’ve been running on empty for years. Your body keeps score. Maybe it’s time someone had your back for once.

You were taught “men don’t feel”, so you learned to turn emotions into something else—anger that burns quick and clean, numbness that feels like control, or another drink because at least that lets you feel something.

By not being “that emotional guy”, you stopped being any kind of guy at all—just a checklist of responsibilities with a hollow center. The old playbook of “suck it up” and numb your feelings just doesn’t work anymore, but instead has left you exhausted and bitter. Therapy isn’t about "getting in touch with your feelings" like some cliché. It’s about:
➜ Unlearning the lie that strength means silence
➜ Finding words for what you’ve carried alone
➜ Letting grief, fear, or loneliness take up space—without them taking over

You weren’t broken by what you couldn’t feel. You’ll be healed by what you finally let yourself face.

"You did all the right things. But you’re still waiting for your turn to have the American Dream."

Your friends are getting married and starting families, but you’re still single renting an apartment. You laugh it off, but it’s getting harder to ignore that voice asking: "Why does everyone else’s life look like the plan—and mine still feels like a work in progress?"

You know better. But knowing doesn’t stop the sting when you see guys you grew up with hitting milestones you can’t even picture for yourself yet.

Rewriting what success actually looks like for you. Grieving the expectations you didn’t meet (so they stop weighing you down). Building a life that fits your values—not just the ones you inherited.

"You’re tired of being a nice guy who finishes last."

You show up as the good guy on dates—thoughtful, reliable, always putting others first. But somehow, you keep ending up rejected or stuck in the friend zone. The harder you try to be what you think they want, the more invisible you feel.

The truth? Nice guys don’t finish last. They just sometimes forget to show up for themselves first.
