Three starting points, based on who you are and how life tends to hit you.
Many people don’t come to therapy thinking, “I have a diagnosis.” They come thinking, “I’m tired,”“I’m stuck,” or “I can’t keep doing this the same way.” This section is organized around three populations I especially enjoy working with — not because people fit into neat boxes, but because these groups tend to share recognizable patterns of stress, coping, and isolation.
If you aren’t sure which one fits best: pick the one that feels most like your day-to-day life right now. You can always explore the others later.
Choose a starting point.
Men in Tech and Trades
If your life involves high responsibility, real-world problem solving, and a lot of internal pressure — but you’re burned out, disconnected, or quietly struggling. Often shows up as: burnout, work stress, high-functioning anxiety, depression/shutdown, rumination, relationship strain.
Start here if you relate to: burnout, work stress, emotional isolation, self-doubt, high-functioninganxiety, relationship strain.

Neurodivergent Adults
If you’ve spent years compensating, masking, or pushing through — and your nervous system is finally telling the truth about capacity. Often shows up as: burnout, overwhelm, masking fatigue, executive strain, anxiety, depression, shutdown.
Start here if you relate to: burnout, overwhelm, executive strain, sensory/social depletion, shutdown, shame spirals, “I can’t do what I should be able to do.”

If you don’t fit any of these neatly
You don’t need to. These are just starting points. If none of the population pages feel like the right match, start with What I Help With (symptoms and patterns), or How I Work (my overall approach).
