Therapy for Men. Are you ready for the next step?

What do you need to do to get where you want to be?

The secret is taking the first steps

let's begin.

it's your life ...

You have all the resources within you to make things happen.

When your thoughts become unclear, it’s hard to see what’s happening around you.

You feel uncertain and you don’t know what to do and it can be stressful. You lose focus. You find it difficult to make decisions. You fall short on all ends.

It all starts from the heart

If you want to make better decisions and gain back control, you’ve got to find a way to embrace both your own inner critic and the naysayers in your life. Listening to either can sabotage your best efforts and ensure you don’t achieve your goals.

You are getting frustrated and pressure is building, you start to argue and say hurtful things. You’re feeling trapped. You know what you want to say, but you can’t get the words out right.

You want to start to trust again. Believe in yourself and your thoughts. You want reconnect back to that safe space in your heart.

Leading from the heart matters and that’s where your confidence lies.

When you bring positive intention to a stressful situation, it opens possibilities.

Work can be stressful at times.

Are you annoyed and frustrated because you can’t stand up for yourself?

Do you sometimes go from 0-100 because they just aren’t hearing you?

Being stressed and upset is not a bad thing. The point is sometimes, it’s the little things that really get on your nerves, tick you off, make you want to shut down. You hold everything in and the stress continues to build and that’s not helpful or healthy.

You end up becoming reactive or avoiding the conflict–self sabotaging and taking it out in your relationships and more importantly, into your home.

'Home is where the heart is'

You aren’t trying to make your home a toxic environment, but it just f@* happens. You start to let go of caring for yourself and connect with unhealthy things to cope. You want to sit on the couch, drink a beer, watch a football game and eat some wings in peace. I mean who doesn’t? Let’s be real.

Let’s talk about what’s real.

Your frustrations can start you in a downward spiral that leads to arguing, temper outbursts, feeling regretful and unfortunate consequences–endings to your job or your relationships and that’s the last thing you want.

Therapy can help cut through the toxic elements.

When the experience of these emotions causes a physical, verbal, or emotional reaction that affects your judgement and your ability to function, it’s time to ask for help. If you don’t acknowledge your anger effectively, you can make impulsive decisions, be more irritable, rude, misunderstood, or isolate yourself from the ones you love. People are telling you that you need help. And you don’t want to face it.

The truth is everybody struggles in some way. But, when you find the struggles are impacting your every day life, it’s time to check in with your self. I offer a range of evidence-based, holistic and integrative treatment approaches for men to deal with overwhelm, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

Do You Feel Stuck?

Do you have difficulty communicating in your relationships?

Do you find yourself pushing people away and feel you will be better off by yourself?

You can’t be present with your partner, you are consumed by the stress and other thoughts from work or life and can’t balance it all, and you can’t communicate clearly. Then you start to feel timid and have to walk on eggshells, its constant conflict, so then you get defensive and shut down. It’s tiring and overwhelming, because you don’t know the right way to respond.

You keep coming back to the same old back and forth with your partner, friends or family.

You can learn to communicate clearly and be connected again.

Do you feel misunderstood?

Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed at work and just want to come home and do something mindless?

Is tension building in your relationship and when you communicate with her, she is just not getting you?

Do you find yourself in a repetitive cycle where you feel severe impacts of the turmoil in your relationship/others and that your behavior turns into “I’m never good enough?” That’s not what you want is it?

There are multiple therapeutic approaches that can help you relieve anxiety and stress and get back to being you.

Are you more of a thinker?

You say you are more a “thinker” and you don’t really do the “feeling thing.”

But really what you are saying is “I don’t have a clue what I’m feeling.”

Your problem is that you don’t know express yourself more assertively, you feel insecure and then you don’t want to get into it. So, your solution is to shut down or get defensive when you you don’t know what to do.

You can keep making excuses

You are running out of options, but change is hard for you.

Change can be difficult because you can’t control it and you become unmotivated and feel trapped. So you protect yourself by withdrawing. But, that’s not what you want.

Learn new skills.

Skills such as managing conflict, communicating your needs, and finding ways to maintain healthy boundaries can help improve your relationships. While we can’t change others, people often find their relationships improve when they begin to address and focus on their own issues.

When you become more aware and set your own boundaries, you will have the confidence to communicate from that space in your heart to feel connected and trust yourself to lead the way.

The only journey is the journey within.

–Rainer Maria Rike

are you ready?

If you were uncertain of the road but knew you would find your treasure, would you take a risk and journey inside?

Rather than you sifting through all the research and countless books, not to mention attending weekend workshops and trainings (like I did!), I can give you what I’ve found to be THE MOST essential pieces for personal development and well-being so you can learn to become your own guide and healer at the root level and live from Your Authentic Self.

If you’ve tried to work it out yourself and you are still struggling, reach out.

The point is what you decide to do about it. If you come from the heart you will know what to do. You dictate the next step.
