Honest conversations.
Practical change.

You may be successful and capable in many areas of life, yet still feel overwhelmed, disconnected, burned out, or unsure what needs to change.

I work with adults—particularly men—and couples facing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, career burnout, divorce, and difficult life transitions. I also work with adolescents ages 15 and older navigating depression, peer concerns, athletics, and the transition to college.

My approach is direct, collaborative, and practical. We will look honestly at what is keeping you stuck and develop a clear path forward.

How I can help

Support for the life
you’re living.

01 / ADULTS & MEN

When carrying it all gets heavy.

Depression, anxiety, anger, identity, relationships, and burnout. Work through what’s weighing on you with a direct, collaborative approach.

02 / ADOLESCENTS 15+

Finding your footing.

Support with depression, social and peer issues, athletic pressures, and adjusting to college and greater independence.

03 / COUPLES & RELATIONSHIPS

Beyond the same argument.

Explore disconnection and repeated conflict, understand the patterns between you, and work toward more constructive ways of relating.

04 / TRANSITIONS & LIFESTYLE

Making room for what comes next.

Career pressure, divorce and post-divorce adjustment, and major life changes. Counseling can also include lifestyle redesign and fitness-related goals.

Working together

Counseling with direction.

More than a place to talk—a collaborative process for understanding yourself and deciding what to do next.

01 / FEEL BETTER

Find some relief.

Start with what feels most difficult right now and work together on practical ways to feel better.

02 / UNDERSTAND & EXPLORE

Look at what keeps repeating.

Examine the patterns, pressures, and choices that may be keeping you stuck.

03 / ACT

Build a path forward.

Develop practical next steps that fit your goals and the realities of your life.
