I address mental health concerns unique to men, providing a safe space to explore emotional challenges, relationship issues, and societal pressures, while offering evidence-based treatments tailored to individual needs.
I work with clients who struggle with various Men's issues. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you resolve such issues in a meaningful manner to restore functioning enabling and empowering you to move beyond your past. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor presently.
More and more men are entering therapy which really helps them in their lives. I've worked quite heavily with many men and men's issues are a specialty of mine.
Being men are more "permitted" by our toxic culture to act out sexually... than to cry, to ask for help, to say "I don't know", to say they are "stuck", or admit defeat, I have many clients appear in sexual misbehavior treatment who seem to have been "acting out" their feelings sexually, under the behavior are feelings that they are not "permitted" by our culture to talk out verbally.
If you would like an insightful and skilled clinician to help you, or your partner, peel the layers of the onion and figure out a way to process the issue and end the acting out of these feeling and have the feelings talked out, then give me a call.
