If you’re feeling down, are lacking motivation, or lacking motivation, you’re not alone. The demands of work and home life can take a toll on any man. Not many understand the unique pressures you face, and this can be frustrating, lonely, and isolating. Whether you feel like things are falling apart, or you’re still hiding it pretty well, there is hope. I often use EMDR therapy and a faith-based perspective to help men uncover and heal the source of their issues, and discover their peace, hope, and motivation in life. One of the insidious parts of depression is that while you’re in the fog, it’s hard to be objective. I will help you walk through this fog until we get to the other side.

Depression often signals a system that’s gone into protective shutdown. I approach it with curiosity, using body and mindfulness-based practices to gently awaken your nervous system and bring you safely and comfortably back into the driver's seat of your life. By tuning into what your system has been trying to protect you from, we create room for motivation, pleasure, and connection to return naturally, rather than forcing positivity.

Depression comes from emotions that are stuck in the system and haven't been given the freedom to move; often anger and sadness. The key to working with depression is to get to the root of the stuck energy and emotions and give them the space to be felt and expressed. Depression is a signal that something in your life is not functioning in a way that supports your well-being. I'm here to support you in getting to the root of the depression in a compassionate, kind way that supports you being with yourself and moving forward with your life.
