Men's Therapy
I work primarily with adult men who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from their relationships, work, or themselves. Many are professionals, partners, and fathers who have spent years doing what was expected of them, only to realize that something essential feels missing.
Men often come to therapy not because they identify as emotionally distressed, but because stress, resentment, or disconnection has reached a tipping point: conflict at home, irritability, withdrawal, aimlessness, dissatisfaction with work, or difficulty moving into a new stage of life.
These struggles can show up as anger, emotional shutdown, sleep problems, increased drinking, compulsive behaviors, or the feeling of spinning your wheels despite outward success. Therapy creates space to slow down, understand what is driving these patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating.
The work focuses on helping men regulate emotion, reduce reactivity, strengthen relationships, and re-examine what manhood means to them, so life can become not only successful, but sustainable and fulfilling.
Disability-Related Support
I work with individuals with disabilities and the families who support them, including parents, partners, adult children, and caregivers. Services are available across the lifespan: families raising children with developmental disabilities, adults adapting to disability after injury or illness, and families caring for aging parents.
Living with a disability often means navigating a world that was not built with your needs in mind. Accessibility barriers, confusing systems, rigid workplace expectations, and constant self-advocacy can take a toll practically, emotionally, and relationally.
For individuals with disabilities, therapy and consultation often focus on identity, self-worth, and agency: integrating disability into a coherent sense of self without letting it define or diminish the person. For families and caregivers, the work often centers on burnout, grief over altered expectations, and the difficult balance between support and independence.
Services may be therapeutic or consultative. Therapy addresses adjustment, grief, anxiety, depression, and relational strain. Consultation focuses on education, planning, workplace accommodations, educational planning, benefits navigation, and long-term care considerations.
Career & Forensic Evaluations
I provide vocational and career services for students, early-career professionals, mid-career adults experiencing burnout or stagnation, career changers, and individuals returning to work after injury or disability.
Many clients feel uncertain or conflicted about career direction. Common concerns include choosing a path, translating skills into meaningful work, balancing values with financial or family expectations, or feeling trapped in a role that no longer fits.
Career counseling focuses on clarifying direction and developing practical strategies: career exploration, educational and training planning, resume and interview preparation, networking strategies, and defining a sustainable work identity that fits within a full life, not just a job.
Forensic vocational services are distinct from therapy and coaching. These involve independent vocational evaluation for legal purposes, including work history analysis, transferable skills assessment, medical record review, written vocational reports, and expert testimony.
