Men can experience various challenges that make it difficult to manage daily life. If you feel that you, as a man, have difficulties figuring out who you are and why you are struggling, exploring this further with a non-judgmental therapist can be very helpful.

I have extensive experience of helping individuals with anxiety and depression. I believe that anxiety often stems from past negative experiences and we all deal with this in many ways. Sometimes, these ways are unhealthy and can lead to many other issues. I can help by exploring new and healthier coping skills, while also exploring what may have happened that caused the anxiety to be there in the first place.

PTSD can be very difficult to live with. When people have experienced a traumatic event, you may experience difficulties in your daily life that make it difficult to live the life you want to. Helping you process your experience so that it no longer affect you daily life unexpectedly is the goal and we can do that through several treatment techniques. Opening up to a therapist takes courage but it may be worth it in the long run, to help you through this.
