Therapy for the Everyday Guy

Providing tools, not just talk—for men who want real change.

Most days you work your ass off, come home, numb out. Then do it all again the next day. You’ve gotten good at pretending. Most people don’t know how hard you are on yourself, how lost you feel, or how you’ve picked up quiet addictions like scrolling, drinking, or porn just to get through.

They’d be shocked by the stories running through your head. By how stressed you really are. By the fact that deep down, you don’t feel like the father, husband, or man you want to be. You’ve got a relationship. Maybe some success. A nice house. But if you’re honest, you aren’t happy. 

You used to feel confident. But now you’re drained at work, overwhelmed at home, and lonelier than ever. If you’ve ever thought, “Whose life is this anyway?” I’m writing to you.

Together, we’ll figure out what’s dragging you down, build habits that actually stick, and create real connection, not just drinking buddies. We’ll help you face what you’ve been avoiding and deal with that voice in your head, the one that wears you out or keeps you anxious.

We’ll look at your whole life: mental, emotional, and physical. And we’ll start making real changes. Because there’s a way off this treadmill. And when you’re ready, we’ll build something better.

I get it. I’ve been there. We all suffer—every last one of us.​

It’s normal. It’s human. And sometimes, we need someone with a different vantage point to help us work through our stuff.

If you’re a guy, there’s a good chance part of you still sees therapy as taboo. I did for a long time. Honestly, I still wrestle with that old conditioning now and then- and I am a therapist! But it’s time we ditch the outdated model that says men should just “suck it up” and pretend everything’s fine. It’s not fine. And we’re not meant to figure it all out alone.

Finding a male therapist can be tough. I know from experience. There just aren’t that many of us. But research shows therapy works best when there’s a real connection. 

Add in a client willing to work and a therapist who uses real tools, and things can start to shift. So if you’re feeling anxious, stuck, or just not like yourself—and something here clicks—Don’t wait. Send a message. Let’s talk.

As a buddy said to me recently,“ The modern man should have a therapist to deal with all this shit.”

And I couldn’t agree more.

Ready to build a better path?

Call me, text me or email me, whichever is easiest, or just request a free consultation and we can talk about what a life well-lived would look like for you.

The Work We’ll Do

My goal isn’t to keep you in therapy forever. It’s to help you build a more meaningful life—and make myself obsolete as soon as possible.
We won’t just sit and talk. We’ll work.

I’m a problem solver at heart. But not in a “fix you” kind of way. This will be a collaborative effort. We’ll work together to figure out what actually helps, what doesn’t, and what needs to shift.
