Specialties
Your self-esteem can improve by identifying your strengths, exploring meaning and purpose, and gaining insight through greater self-awareness. The more you know who you are, and why you are, the easier it is to find compassion for yourself and to love yourself fully. I believe it's possible for everyone to experience real self-love and, with encouragement, embrace their whole self.
Fear is a powerful tool of survival, but we don't need it as often as our mind seems to think! By understanding the source of our fears, we can learn to conquer them. Together, we'll search for the origins of your anxiety, explore your defense mechanisms and where they come from, and work to leave those unhelpful thinking patterns behind. You can move forward with curiosity and confidence.
People who struggle with anger can learn to overcome it when shown compassion and given a judgment-free space to examine their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We'll address the deep-seated, unconscious beliefs, thought patterns, and historical traumas that cause anger to well up and explode. By getting in touch with your mind and body, you can learn to catch yourself before losing control, and find real, consistent peace of mind.
I know there are a lot of things that are difficult to talk about as men, especially with other men. What we're taught about strength and weakness makes it difficult to open up and talk about our true, underlying feelings. It makes it hard to even know what those feelings are. There is a lot that society expects of men, much of it contradictory and outdated. No topic is out-of-bounds.
It's hard to find support when you're grieving. Many people just don't know how best to support you, and maybe it feels like they're avoiding you. We all need to deal with grief in our own way, and, together, we'll figure out what that looks like. If you're weighed down by the loss of someone or something, or even if some victory has come at a cost, we can learn to keep on living.
