About Trauma Therapy
I specialize in helping men who feel like they’re stuck, whether that means barely holding it together or just knowing deep down that something isn’t right.
Trauma has taken enough. You deserve treatment that actually works.
My Approach to Trauma Therapy
Men don’t usually walk into therapy excited to be here. You’ve probably spent a long time trying to handle things on your own; pushing through, staying busy, avoiding anything that feels too heavy. That works for a while, until it doesn’t. Therapy with me isn’t about overanalyzing your past or talking in circles about feelings, it’s about figuring out what’s keeping you stuck and actually doing something about it.
I’m structured but not rigid, directive but not controlling. From the start, we focus on what’s going to get you real results, not just talking, but learning skills to help you move forward. I don’t expect you to have all the answers or even know exactly what you need. That’s my job. I bring the treatment plan, the structure, and the expertise so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I also don’t do the whole therapy voice thing. I’m direct, I swear in session, and I use examples that actually make sense, because if we’re talking about hard things, it should at least feel like a real conversation. My goal is to make sure that by the time therapy is done, you don’t need me anymore. You’ll have the tools to handle things on your own, because that’s what real progress looks like.
What Actually Happens in Trauma Therapy?
If you’re picturing endless talking about feelings with no real direction, that’s not what trauma therapy looks like. The kind of therapy I do is structured, evidence-based, and designed to get results. We are not trying to change WHAT happened. What happened will always be what happened; we can change how you make sense of it and how you talk to yourself about it.
How long will it take?
Trauma therapy isn’t meant to be a lifelong process. Most evidence-based treatments are designed to last about 8-15 sessions; not years.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. Let’s find a way forward.
Will This Actually Help Me?
If pushing through and handling it alone worked, you wouldn’t be here. Trauma therapy isn’t about making you “soft” or overanalyzing everything, it’s about giving you actual control…instead of the illusion of control.
I Work with Men Who:
Have memories that disrupt daily life.
Struggle with intimacy or feeling disconnected in relationships.
Use work, alcohol, or distractions to avoid dealing with the past.
Feel like they should have "gotten over it" by now.
Have tried therapy before but didn’t feel like they got real results.
Want practical tools and strategies, not just talking about feelings.
Are ready to do the work, even if they’re not sure where to start.
Feel like they have to keep everything together on the outside while struggling internally.
Avoid their emotions until they come out as anger, numbness, or exhaustion.
Overthink past mistakes and constantly second-guess themselves.
Struggle with guilt, shame, or self-blame about things they can’t change.
Feel stuck in patterns of avoidance that aren’t actually helping.
