As a man myself, I know the stigma that exists when it comes to seeking help for mental health. The truth is, it takes great strength and is a sign of masculinity to work to improve yourself. That is the kind of action that will lead to your becoming a better partner, a better parent, a better provider and a better man. Men are under increasing pressure to fulfill a certain unexplained role in society, and more of us are unhappy and unfulfilled than ever. I'm here to talk to you about it.

I know personally what the dark cloud of depression can do to an otherwise healthy mind. It's like a thick fog that envelops you, you can't find a way out, and it feels like you've always been this way and always will be this way. But that is just the smoke and mirrors trickery of depression. The truth is you CAN find your way out of it, and it can be much quicker than you think. But only by bravely attacking depression head on can you defeat it. Depression wants you to give up. Don't.

Learning your attachment style can absolutely change your life; it did for me. By getting to know and understand this vital piece of yourself better, you can unlock an entirely new world of relational success and happiness in your life -- whether that's with a romantic partner, your family, or close friends. You aren't crazy, difficult, or unlucky. You may just be stuck operating in old patterns that no longer serve you the way they once did.

Getting to know yourself through the lens of your family is crucial to truly understanding who you are. You do not exist in a vacuum. You are the product of generations of family members who have been repeating and passing down the same patterns -- both positive and negative -- that wound up within you. I will help you identify the maladaptive patterns that keep you stuck, so you can break them and unlock greater levels of mental health and happiness.

Ever hear of Carl Jung? He's considered the father of modern psychology, and he formulated some pretty incredible concepts with his Map of the Psyche. Jung's headline theory was that we are largely driven by our unconscious mind; in order to truly become the person we are meant to be, we must "make the unconscious conscious." I will help you do exactly this, so you can truly understand yourself and learn to go after what you want in life -- and not just what your "persona" wants.

We are all products of our past. The world we were born into, the parents who raised us, the awful shit we've been through -- all of it informs who we are today. I want to know exactly what the path was like that lead you to seek help today, because only then can we identify the patterns you want to change, allowing you to grow into the person you are meant to be. It may be a cliche, but it's true: those who forget (or ignore) the past are doomed to repeat it.
