Men’s Work

In a world that often emphasizes stoicism and self-reliance, the importance of therapeutic work for men cannot be overstated. Seeking therapy is not a sign of weakness but a counter-cultural step towards self-awareness and growth. Therapeutic work provides a confidential and non-judgmental space for men to explore their emotions, confront challenges, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. It is a powerful tool for navigating the complexities of relationships, career pressures, and personal identity. In embracing therapeutic work, men can break free from societal expectations, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves and building the resilience needed to navigate life's ups and downs. It's an investment in mental and emotional well-being, empowering men to lead more authentic, fulfilling lives.

Perhaps you find yourself frustrated because you feel like your current relationship isn’t working. Or maybe you feel like you’re done trying to play the part. Whatever the case, I’m eager to dive deep with you and explore a new, integrated way of being in the world. I help you reconnect to the parts of yourself that have been cut off. This strengthens and integrates your sense of self and improves your relationships and personal life. 

What does it mean to be a man?

Culturally, there are some pretty rigid (and equally unhealthy) beliefs about what it means to “be a man”. Unfortunately, those beliefs have left many feeling isolated and in fear of being outed as a fraud. Men end up cut off from parts of themselves, which hinders their ability to connect to others. In this cloud of shame, the predictable comfort of addiction can easily find a foothold. This type of wounded masculinity isn’t working. 

There are many expressions of the masculine, and true masculinity exists in relationship with the feminine (parts we all have). Our work together isn’t to conform you to some rigid ideal, but rather to explore how you relate to your own sense of masculinity. Together we’ll explore the ways your family and surrounding culture shaped how you relate to yourself. We’ll explore the parts of you that were told they’re not allowed. Together, we’ll practice a new way of relating to others that remains rooted in a deep sense of self and allows space for others to flourish. 

If you’re reading this, and you don’t see yourself as embodying the masculine, there’s space for you too. We’ve all been told there are parts of us that don’t belong. Our work is to invite those parts to the table, so that you can be your full, flourishing self.
