A Space for Men to Connect and Feel Supported

When was the last time you heard a man say out loud: “I’m struggling and I need some support”?

For most men, those words never leave their mouths.

In my work as a therapist, I see how deeply men carry the pressure or the expectation to be “fine,” to keep emotions under wraps, to push through silently. It’s a story many of us know well: stress turns into irritability, loneliness hides behind a busy schedule, depression gets disguised as anger. And all the while, the message is clear, don’t talk about it.

But here’s the truth: silence takes a toll. Without a safe outlet, many men feel disconnected from themselves, their friends, their partners, their families, and their own sense of purpose.

That’s why I’m offering a safe and trusting space in Austin for men and men-identifying adults.

Why This Group Matters to Me

I believe men deserve spaces where vulnerability is valued, where self-discovery is encouraged, and where emotional honesty is seen as strength, not weakness. Too often, men are left out of the conversations about mental health, relationships, and growth.

If you’re ready to explore and get to know yourself more deeply, or know someone who might be, I invite you to join us.

Reach out today to learn more or reserve a spot. Space is limited to keep the group safe, supportive, and connected.
