What to Expect
Specializing in Men’s Mental Health
It's normal to feel nervous.
Starting therapy takes courage. I still remember sitting in the waiting room for my first session as a client—heart racing, surprised by how anxious I felt. That feeling has stuck with me. I carry it with me every time I meet someone new.
Just getting started is a big deal. I see that, and I respect it.
How We Meet
I ditched the formal office setting years ago. These days, sessions happen one of three ways:
Walk and Talk at Robious Landing Park
Phone Sessions
A limited number of virtual sessions
Getting Started
Schedule a free 15-minute consultation. We’ll talk briefly, make sure we’re a good fit, and if it feels right, we’ll schedule your first full session.
Your First Session
Your first session is about getting to know your struggle, clarifying where you want to go, and starting the work of helping you get there.
No pressure to “have it all figured out”—we’ll figure it out together.
Rates & Payment
Session Fee
$250 per 50-minute session
Payment
A credit card is securely kept on file and charged at the end of each session.
Insurance
I don’t accept insurance, but I can provide a Superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
Frequently Asked Questions
I usually recommend starting with weekly or biweekly sessions, depending on your needs, to keep momentum going and start building new skills. There’s no fixed structure—we’ll adjust as we go based on what works best for you.
I ask for 48 hours notice for cancellations, barring true emergencies like illness, a sick child, or accidents.
Missed sessions without notice will be charged the full session fee.
I work best with men who are ready to show up honestly and are open to change—even if they’re not sure what that looks like yet.
I work with clients ages 15 to 65, but my sweet spot tends to be college-age and adult men navigating stress, transitions, or feeling stuck.
I don’t work with adolescents younger than 9th grade.
You won’t get worksheets or surface-level advice here.
You’ll get real conversations, practical tools, and honest feedback.
My goal is that at the end of our work together, you can point to real, concrete changes that have taken place in your life.
Think of me as a consultant with three main roles:
- Ask the right questions — to help clarify what you’re thinking, what you’re feeling, and what’s working (or not) in your life
- Spot potential blind spots — things you might not be seeing clearly on your own. I’ll usually say something like, “I wonder if…” so we can explore it together
- Offer practical tools — simple strategies you can test out between sessions as experiments
Your role:
- Show up ready to talk about what matters to you — it’s your agenda, not mine
- Be open to discomfort — real change usually lives just past what’s comfortable
- Follow through between sessions — small, consistent steps are what create lasting change
