Men’s Therapy in Portland, Maine
Depth-oriented, somatic psychotherapy for men who feel stuck and out of alignment with themselves.
I work with men in Portland and the surrounding area who are tired of managing everything alone—and ready for real, embodied change.
You don’t need a diagnosis to know something isn’t right.
you might recognize yourself here:
You’re functional on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, disconnected, or flat.
Your relationships feel strained, distant, or stuck in the same loops despite your best efforts to improve them.
Sexuality has become something you manage, hide, or wrestle with, rather than something that feels integrated and nourishing.
You rely on control, distraction, or willpower to keep things together—until you reach your breaking point.
You’re tired of insight that makes sense but doesn’t actually change how you live or relate.
These aren’t personal failures. They’re old survival strategies that once served you—and are now asking for a different kind of attention.
This isn’t surface-level Therapy.
Most men who come to this work are already thoughtful and self-aware. They’ve reflected, read, tried to reason their way through what isn’t working. Insight helps—but it often isn’t enough.
We work with what’s actually happening in your body, impulses, emotions, and relationships in real time—not just your thoughts about them. Change happens when the nervous system is included, not bypassed.
Men are shaped early to manage emotion, control desire, and carry things alone. Sexuality, anger, shutdown, and over-functioning aren’t random problems—they’re adaptations. In this work, we slow down enough to understand those patterns from the inside, without shaming or fixing them, so something more integrated can take their place.
Rooted in Portland. Practicing nearby.
I grew up in Portland and now live and work just outside the city in Windham. I know this place—not just geographically, but culturally.
Maine shapes men in particular ways. Independence is valued. Self-reliance is expected. Emotional restraint is often learned early and reinforced quietly. Those traits can be strengths—but they can also make it hard to ask for help or know where to turn when something inside isn’t working.
This work is grounded in an understanding of that context.
For men in Portland and the surrounding area, I offer in-person therapy just outside the city, as well as telehealth throughout Maine.
If you’re unsure whether your situation “counts” or fits—reach out anyway. Most men wait longer than they need to—and wish they hadn’t.
Men’s Groups in Portland, Maine
If you’re interested in doing this work alongside other men, I also facilitate ongoing men’s groups for those ready to work relationally, not just individually.
What you might be wondering
How does men’s therapy actually differ from regular therapy?
Men’s therapy centers the realities of male socialization, nervous system patterns, sexuality, aggression, and attachment. It’s often more experiential, grounded, and focused on integration rather than just insight.
Do you work with men struggling with pornography or sexual compulsivity?
Yes. Many men come in around relationship stress or emotional numbness and later realize sexuality and pornography are part of the picture. We work with these patterns carefully, without moralizing or simplistic labels.
What if I don’t know how to talk about what I’m feeling?
That’s common—and expected. We don’t rely solely on words. Sensation, impulse, emotion, and relational cues all give us entry points.
Is this more like coaching or traditional therapy?
This is psychotherapy—but it’s active, relational, and depth-oriented. We work with your history, your present-moment experience, and how change actually happens in the nervous system.
How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?
You don’t need certainty—just a sense of resonance. A brief consultation can help you feel into whether this work fits you.
You don’t have to do this alone.
