CORE Therapy

10/19/2026

Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff, awkward, or all about talking in circles.

My approach? Real conversations, honest questions, a little humor, and the occasional nudge to look at the things you’ve been avoiding.

You don’t have to be in crisis to start. You just have to be ready to understand yourself a little better and do something with what you learn.

Sound like your kind of therapy? Let’s connect.

"The work starts much earlier than the party, in moments that look like they have absolutely nothing to do with consent: How does your son handle not getting what he wants? How is he learning to notice another person - their body, their cues, their needs - especially when they conflict with his desire? When everyone else seems okay with something and something inside him says, Huh, I don't know about this - which one has he learned to trust?"

Learn key emotional skills to help raise boys, including managing disappointment, noticing social cues, and building internal trust beyond peer pressure.

“There is only one emotion that patriarchy values when expressed by men; that emotion is anger. Real men get mad. And their mad-ness, no matter how violent or violating, is deemed natural — a positive expression of patriarchal masculinity. Anger is the best hiding place for anybody seeking to conceal pain or anguish of spirit.”

Bell Hooks, The Will to Change

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ enlightening, eye-opening, timely

Control is often framed as confidence.

But, more likely, it’s just fear.
