This message is for the strong ones. You've learned to manage life independently and you rarely ask for help. You're proud of how self-sufficient you are. And unfortunately, when you have asked for help, you were let down, so you learned it's best to just rely on yourself.

 

You don't feel in tune to your emotions, because you've been told since you were a kid to "suck it up, be a man." But lately you feel more pressure to be in touch with your emotions, because now men are expected to be stoic *and* emotionally intelligent.

 

No one encouraged you to express your emotions as a kid, so you don't feel equipped with emotional skills or language. Plus you felt people recoil those few times you did cry, so you're worried if you open up, the people asking for more from you won't like who they see. 

 

That's where I come in. I'm a direct and collaborative therapist specialized in men's mental health. I help you reconnect with emotions you've bottled up for years by using research-backed strategies to get out of the rut you've been living in and build the life you love waking up for.
