Men’s Mental Health

Many men struggle to discuss emotional challenges, stress, addiction, or burnout openly. I provide direct, supportive therapy designed specifically for men seeking structure, clarity, and personal growth while navigating recovery, relationships, career pressures, and mental health challenges.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 18 years of experience treating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression.

I specialize in working with men in recovery who are seeking accountability, structure, and evidence-based care. My approach emphasizes personal responsibility, measurable progress, and collaboration.

Addiction & Substance Use Counseling

Recovery is more than abstinence; it involves rebuilding routines, relationships, and self-trust. I work with individuals facing alcohol use, substance dependency, relapse cycles, and co-occurring mental health concerns.

Anxiety & Depression Treatment

Anxiety and depression can affect motivation, relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life. Through structured, evidence-based therapy, clients learn practical techniques to manage symptoms, reduce overwhelm, improve mood stability, and regain a sense of direction.

Therapy Approach

Evidence-Based Treatment

Therapy is grounded in proven clinical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to support meaningful, measurable progress.

Accountability & Structure

Sessions emphasize personal responsibility, consistency, and goal-oriented treatment planning to help clients build lasting change and stability.

Relapse Prevention Support

Treatment focuses on identifying triggers, strengthening coping strategies, and developing practical tools to maintain long-term recovery.

Collaborative Goal Setting

I work closely with each client to create individualized treatment goals that support emotional wellness, personal growth, and sustainable recovery.
