You may notice feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or no longer recognize this version of yourself. Maybe you're feeling generally dissatisfied or lost. Our relationships to self, partner, friends, family, work, and the world we live in, all have an impact on us - and we on them. When you notice that impact feeling more draining or stressful than energizing or fulfilling, it’s time to pay closer attention.

​

Have you tried "fixing" problems with limited results? Have you put much consideration into what is actually important or meaningful to you? Did you place importance on these factors, or did someone tell you to value them? Sometimes, we have to examine expectations and rules in our rulebook through a curious lens to better understand where we’re putting our energy. Are you getting a return on your invested time/energy/resources?

 For many of the men who choose to work with me, inadequacy - specifically the fear and avoidance of it - plays a large role in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As men, we have been conditioned toward feeling weak or inadequate in the presence of vulnerability. This experience often leads to feeling rejected in relationships or seeking a perpetual need for external validation to feel worthy, connected, or successful. Stress, perceived failure, or hopelessness don't have to define you, nor does an endless pursuit of “the next thing”. Our lived experiences inform; they don't define.

Pulling from models and approaches, such as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Parts Work/Internal Family Systems, Interconnection (Systems Theory), Mindful Nature Connection, I will help you develop your lens of curiosity and compassion. Our destination is agency, not control. Together, we can help you ground yourself in the present by understanding what stories, rules, expectations are driving your life.
