The Lighthouse in the Storm: Redefining Masculinity Through the Lens…
When I first walked through the gates of a prison as a young officer, I was still finding my footing in the world. I came from a turbulent childhood, familiar with chaos but naïve to the many ways people learn to survive it. Very quickly, the environment demanded that I grow up.

Working with Silence: The Power of Stillness in Men’s Therapy
In a world that rarely stops talking, silence can feel uncomfortable. In therapy, it can feel even more so. When a client falls quiet, it’s easy to assume they’re resisting, disengaged, or unsure what to say next. But over the years, I’ve come to see silence—especially in therapy with men—as something far more meaningful.
