Description

With personal and professional insights into boyhood and masculinity, I deeply understand men's unique mental health challenges. Recognizing the stigma and shame around seeking therapy, I admire the courage it takes for men to seek help. I'm motivated to support men in self-discovery, reflection, and acquiring tools to navigate their challenges. My goal is to make mental health interventions relatable, safe, and tailored to individual needs. Men often criticize themselves harshly, impacting their self-relationships and environment. Mental health is vital, and training it is essential.
