Even successful, emotionally invested men can find themselves stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who they want to be.
These responses aren’t random. They’re learned. Sometimes they come from early family dynamics or the cultural pressure to stay in control, avoid vulnerability, or “figure it out on your own.”
And when you’ve never been taught to…
name what you’re feeling
communicate your needs
or stay open in hard moments
things get messy, even with the best intentions.
That’s where this work comes in.
I help men turn good intentions
into real connection, even when things get hard.
“I can sit with somebody’s disappointment easier now
…and not take that on myself. I’m feeling good about where I’m at emotionally. It feels like a different body-feel living my life.” - M.E.
Real Skills for Real Connection
Working with me, you’ll build the strategies, insight and capacity to:
🧠 Uncover Your Blind Spots
Gain insight into your triggers, automatic reactions, and relationship patterns so you can respond with intention. This awareness is the foundation of emotional growth.
❤️ Understand Your Partner
Therapy helps you understand what your partner is really asking for and stay emotionally available even when the conversation is uncomfortable.
🚫 Break Unhealthy Coping
When connection feels hard, it’s easy to fall back on avoidance: zoning out, drinking, overworking, or checking out on your phone. Therapy gives you tools to replace those habits with more grounded, relational choices.
🩹 Heal from Past Relationship Wounds
Whether you’ve been betrayed, criticized, or invalidated, we’ll work through those past struggles so that they don’t get in the way of the life you want to create.
🔥 Improve Emotional and Physical Intimacy
As trust builds, so does the ability to talk about what you want. Open conversations about intimacy and desire can lead to a more satisfying sex life for both partners.
🗣️ Ask for What You Need Without Shutdown or Shame
Learn how to identify your needs and express them clearly without feeling guilty, retreating, or getting defensive.
Therapy to Break the Negative Cycles and Rebuild Connection
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
A big part of my work draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a highly researched approach developed for couples that helps uncover the negative cycle driving conflict and disconnection.
I use EFT principles in one-on-one therapy to help you map out the unconscious patterns that keep you and your partner stuck—but more importantly, we’ll identify the emotional triggers and specific story underneath side of the cycle.
That’s where real change starts and where individualized support makes all the difference.
“Therapy has helped me gain perspective and understand how I can think and talk about what is bothering me.
It has helped me deal with stress at work better and improved my relationship with my partner. I have begun to take on our bigger goals rather than avoid them.” -B.H.
