• Many boys are carrying more than they let on. Anger that shows up unexpectedly, a constant sense of pressure, feeling stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected—yet unsure how to talk about it without feeling judged or misunderstood.

• I work with boys and teens who are struggling with anger, depression, anxiety, and the weight of expectations placed on them—by family, relationships, work, or themselves. Often, these challenges aren’t about being “broken” or doing something wrong; they’re about not having had the space or support to slow down, reflect, and learn new ways of responding to life’s stressors.

• My work is focused on helping guys make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface and create a space where you don’t have to pretend you’re fine or have everything figured out. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, numb, or simply tired of carrying things alone, therapy can be a place to sort things out and start feeling more like yourself again.

If any of this sounds like someone you know, please feel free to give me a call or text and I'd love to talk. Thank you!
