My interest in becoming a therapist began with my own mental health struggles. As a teenager and young man, I dealt with persistent feelings of depression and abused various substances to cope. After being expelled from college, I began treatment. In addition to my individual therapy sessions—where I would talk freely about myself, my childhood, my dreams—I also began practicing meditation and joined a community of like-minded individuals who supported me on my mission to change myself.

These personal experience shape how I understand what works in helping men to get better. At Forge Forward, I've created a comprehensive approach that integrates:

Deep therapeutic understanding

Practical tools for real change

Authentic brotherhood and support
