About
As a man, you feel defeated by life and by your relationship. Work has become unfulfilling, and there is no motivation to do the things that used to bring you joy. Any disagreement with your partner turns into an argument, which causes you to lash out or completely shut down. Your reactions during these conflicts feel out of your control, or you're carrying unresolved pain from your past—particularly from a difficult relationship with a parent. You’re carrying the weight of so many unresolved emotions and it feels as if no one understands what you’re going through. Learn to process those early-life memories that have been too painful to deal with on your own. Using CBT and EMDR, I’ll help you address maladaptive behaviors, process early life trauma and negative self-talk, and learn to set healthy boundaries. Together, we’ll work to strengthen your mindset as you learn new skills and strategies to deal with challenges.
