Men’s Issues
Men's Issues: Navigating the Path to Self-Discovery and Empowerment
I understand that the concept of masculinity is evolving beyond the traditional archetypes that dominated the 20th century. As men, we can benefit from asking ourselves what it means to be a good partner, a good parent, a good friend, and a valuable member of our communities. I have had the privilege of working with men of all ages, helping them expand their view of themselves, navigate their emotions, improve self-esteem, find balance in their lives, enhance communication skills, address challenges and foster healthier relationships.
