背景

I’ve spent more than two decades working in mental health and addictions, supporting men, couples, families, and anyone feeling stuck, worn down, or running on empty. I’m a straight-up, steady therapist who trades jargon for real talk and practical tools. I show up with honesty, compassion, and a no-BS approach that helps you make sense of what’s going on and take steps that actually fit your life. If you want support that feels real and someone who meets you where you’re at, you’re in the right place.

与我经历治疗的体验

Working with me isn’t about being perfect. You show up as you are shut down, pissed off, worn out and we start there. I’m direct and honest, but I’m not here to tear you down. We sort through what’s really driving the anger, the shutdown, or the same old patterns. Men often say it’s the first place they can drop the act and breathe. The work is practical and real, built for your actual life. If you want a space to be real, get honest, and move forward, you’ll feel at home here.

常见问题

What’s it like to work with you?

It’s real, steady, and no-nonsense. You don’t have to pretend or explain yourself perfectly. I’m direct but compassionate, and we get into what actually matters. Expect practical tools, honest conversations, and a space where you can finally breathe and just be yourself.

What kind of support do you offer?

I offer support that cuts through the noise: straight talk, steady guidance, and tools you can actually use when things get rough. Whether you’re dealing with anger, shutdown, stress, or old patterns, we tackle it together in a way that feels real, doable, and built for how men actually live.

Do you follow a specific therapy model?

My approach is integrative, meaning I pull from several evidence-based models including ACT, CBT, and motivational interviewing, depending on what fits your needs. The focus is always on making things practical and meaningful for you.

What if I’m nervous or unsure about starting?

A lot of men walk in unsure, guarded, or half-convinced therapy won’t help. That’s okay. You don’t have to spill your guts on day one. We take it slow, keep it real, and build trust as we go. You show up, I show up, and we work from there no pressure, no judgment.
