Men & Mascs

I especially enjoy working with men and masculine-identified folks, including those who are queer, trans, nonbinary, or exploring their relationship to masculinity in any form.

Many of my clients come in carrying complicated messages about what it means to be a man and worry about embodying “toxic masculinity.” You might be navigating sex and intimacy in ways that don’t fit traditional scripts, questioning aspects of your identity, or attempting to cultivate relationships that feel more aligned, affirming, and authentic.

This is a space where your full self is welcome. Your desires, your uncertainties, your feelings about your body, your identities, your traumas. All of it belongs here.

In our work together, we can explore things like desire, arousal, performance anxiety, erectile concerns, pleasure, kink, porn use, dating, communication, and relationship dynamics. I work from a lens that affirms your autonomy and lived experience while identifying and challenging the things that aren’t working for you. I like to say “all behavior makes sense in context” meaning that it makes sense how you got here, and let’s find the deeper unmet needs that keep you going back to a waterless well. We can also make room for conversations about internalized shame, heteronormative expectations, gender roles, and how these impact your sexual and relational life.

You don’t have to fit into a narrow definition of masculinity to deserve satisfying, connected, and affirming sex and relationships. Therapy can be a place to reconnect with what feels true for you, expand your sense of possibility, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

However you identify (or if you’re still figuring that out) you are welcome here.
