Men's Mental Health

Depression & Anxiety in Men

Have you been feeling "off"? Having difficulty getting out of bed for work? Struggling with your relationships and avoiding those difficult conversations? Avoiding friends? Feeling angry or agitated for no reason? Dealing with people telling you to seek anger management counseling but not sure you want to start?


You are not alone. Traditionally men find it more difficult to address their own mental health for fear of being judged, or worse, being seen as weak. Finding help takes courage and strength.


I provide a safe, honest, and compassionate space for exploring what challenges you are facing. I offer a solutions focused approach to improve your mental well being and relationships.


This article on addressing mental health concerns for millennial men is an excellent resource for gaining an understanding of what may be preventing you from seeking help:

Whether you are Gen X, Millennial, or Gen Z, stereotypes and cultural norms may have limited your access to help. Contact me now for a consultation 925-605-9662 (this is a cell phone and can accept texts, though they should be limited to name and availability due to lack of encryption)
