Description

As a man with personal and professional experience in boyhood and masculinity, I understand the unique mental health challenges men face. Recognizing the stigma and shame around seeking therapy, I admire the courage it takes to ask for help.

I’m motivated to guide men as they reflect on their experiences, learn about themselves, and develop tools to navigate their challenges. My goal is to create a safe, tailored, and supportive space for mental health growth.

You deserve to tend to your mental well-being. Let’s walk this journey of growth, discovery, and healing together.
