Masculinity and our relationship with it can colour a great many of our psychological experiences. It may form a core piece of our individual identity; broaden or constrain our opportunities for connecting with others; and/or influence the kinds of objectives that we set for ourselves in life. As an integrative therapist who is existentially-informed, I'm always interested to explore what masculinity means to my male (cis and trans) and gender-fluid clients, especially if they themselves define it as a theme of interest.
I provide a confidential and understanding space for men to explore and address challenges unique to their experiences. Through a client-centered approach, I work collaboratively to navigate issues related to identity, relationships, and emotional well-being, fostering personal growth and resilience.
As men, we've been expected to show up in a certain way our whole lives. Hold our feelings inside. Be the leader. Man up. Tough it out.
When we ask for help, we're told to "man up" or that we're "weak." When our mental health suffers, we're told to get our it together and shake it off.
It's no wonder the male suicide rate is 3 to 4 times that of women.
So many of us are struggling on the inside and never share that struggle with anyone. We suffer in silence. That is not the way forward. It serves no one.
It can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to do it all alone. But together, we can overcome all of these barriers that are stopping you from living your best life. And I’d love to help you get there!
