Men’s Mental Health Therapy

In person and online therapy for teens and adults near Minneapolis and across MN

Do you feel like you give it your all but sometimes it is just not enough?

Men, are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure why you can’t seem to move forward—no matter how hard you try? Maybe you’re carrying the pressure to provide for your family or succeed at a high level in your career, but deep down, you feel drained and disconnected from yourself and others. You were taught to be strong, to push through, to handle things on your own—but that kind of pressure adds up. It’s exhausting, and over time, it can leave you feeling like you have nothing left to give. You’ve tried to get back to feeling like yourself, but nothing seems to work.

You keep trying but it never feels like enough.

Eventually, the pressure becomes too much to hold in. You may notice yourself becoming more irritable—snapping at your partner or kids over small things. Or maybe you start pulling away from the people around you—friends, family, coworkers—and turning to drinking, porn, gaming, or scrolling to escape the stress you're carrying in the real world. As joy starts to fade, you might find yourself questioning if this is all life has to offer.

You do not need to suffer in silence.

Let’s get you back to the person you want to be.

Imagine what it could feel like to reconnect with your true self. Maybe you find yourself reacting less from anger and becoming the kind of partner, father, or friend you’ve always wanted to be. You feel more grounded, resilient, and able to handle life’s ups and downs without shutting down or lashing out. Instead of carrying the weight alone, you start finding strength through connection—with yourself and with others. Life feels more meaningful, joyful, and fulfilling.

Therapy can help you work through the burdens that have been weighing you down. As human beings, we aren’t meant to navigate challenges in isolation—we heal best through connection and support. Some of what holds us back stems from unhelpful thought patterns; other struggles are stored deep in our nervous system, rooted in old pain or unresolved experiences. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in your way and create a plan that helps you move toward the version of yourself you want to be.

Therapy for Men’s Mental Health can help you…

  • Release built-up emotions in healthier ways—rather than reacting with anger, turning to substances, or engaging in behaviors that strain your relationships.

  • Understand how your brain and nervous system respond to stress, anger, anxiety, and trauma—and how that impacts your daily life.

  • Get to the root of intense emotions so you can respond with more calm, balance, and clarity.

  • Build lasting confidence and inner strength to navigate life’s challenges more effectively.

  • Cultivate greater self-empathy, self-acceptance, and self-forgiveness—so you can quiet your inner critic and show up more fully in your life.

 FAQs

  • Once you get in touch, we’ll schedule a time to connect and make sure I’m the right fit for what you’re hoping to work on. Our first session will focus on getting to know your background, understanding what’s been challenging, and identifying the goals that matter most to you. We’ll also talk through what session frequency feels supportive and sustainable. From there, our work will be tailored to your unique needs—focused on the progress you want to make and the changes you’re ready for.

    My style is relational and laid back. I tend to incorporate brain science into sessions for a more robust and deeper healing process. I also like to layer in a little sarcasm and humor into sessions because it is important for me to be myself and for you to be at ease. Therapy can anxiety provoking so my goal is for you to be comfortable and feel like you can be honest and open in session.

  • Most men haven’t been encouraged to seek help when facing difficult emotions or life challenges. From a young age, we’re told to “suck it up,” “tough it out,” or “just move on.” These messages—passed down by parents, coaches, peers, and society—create the expectation that we should handle everything on our own, no matter how heavy the load.

    But the truth is, this mindset has consequences. Men often feel more isolated, are 3 to 4 times more likely to die by suicide than women, and are twice as likely to struggle with substance use. If simply pushing through worked, we wouldn’t see so many men quietly suffering behind closed doors.

    There’s strength in doing the hard work of healing—and you don’t have to do it alone.

  • If you’ve landed on this page, chances are you’re feeling stuck, not quite yourself, and unsure how to move forward. Maybe you’ve been trying to push through, hoping things will get better on their own—but they haven’t.

    Many men wait too long to prioritize their mental health, often because we’ve been conditioned to handle things ourselves. But the longer we wait, the more it impacts our relationships, work, and overall wellbeing.

    If you’re unsure about starting therapy, that’s okay. I offer a free consultation so we can see if working together feels like the right fit.
