Helping You Overcome Emotional and Intimacy Challenges

Individual Psychotherapy
for Men

in Longmont, Colorado

Are you caught in the cycle of codependency and the need to please others?

Do issues in your relationships or sex life bring you stress and anxiety?

If feelings like depression, anger, or trauma are part of your daily life, know that you're not alone. Many men navigate these same issues and the weight can seem too much to bear..

At the core of these struggles is often a belief that your worth is tied to pleasing others or being in a relationship. But the truth is, your worth comes from within and healthy relationships are built on mutual respect and emotional maturity.

You want to feel confident in yourself and your relationships. You want to believe that it’s okay to prioritize your own needs and set boundaries. And I’m here to help you achieve that. Through dynamic psychotherapy, we can work together to uncover the root of your struggles and help you develop healthy beliefs about yourself and your relationships.
