Just for Men
"I thought I was getting help for insomnia. And sure, I'm sleeping again which is amazing. But it's so much better than that. I'm more connected to my wife than ever before. And I feel a bond with my son I can't even describe. I was so worried, given how abusive my dad was, that I would never feel this deep love. I can't thank you enough."
The men I work with have big hearts. They tend to be smart, capable and committed. But often they...
- Find themselves yelling at their kids over little things
- Worry about disappointing their wives
- Feel stressed about work and money
- Can't let themselves relax
- Just need someone to talk to, a place to hear themselves think
The world is hard on men. And men are hard on themselves. For all the talk of male privilege, individually, a lot of men feel very alone. Many had fathers who didn't model male friendship or vulnerability (and maybe even shamed vulnerability).
But you're not just a guy. You're a person. Being human means having all the emotions and all the responses - worry, sadness, loneliness - all the feels. Our culture shames men into expressing only irritation and triumph. That's just not human.
I love working with guys. I've helped a lot of men connect to their feelings, their wives, their kids, their friends and their careers in ways that they didn't even know were missing. It always feels sacred when a man really opens up in therapy, because I know how hard trust can be.
If you need a safe, quiet place to hear yourself think, let's schedule a consultation. We can see if the way I work might work for you.
