TRANSFORMATIONAL THERAPY FOR MEN IN AZ
Helping you navigate life’s challenges with strength and clarity.
HOW I CAN HELP
Life Gets Hard. You're Not Alone.
Long-term stress can have a negative impact on your physical health, relationships, and job satisfaction. Working with a professional can help.
I specialize in helping Arizona men with a practical, real-world approach to therapy. We’ll slow down, look at what’s really going on—and then we’ll do something about it.
Clients tell me they appreciate that I’ve lived a full life outside the therapy room. I’m not here to give lectures or hand out cliches. I’m here to help you see what’s been running the show behind the scenes—and give you the right tools to change it.
Hi, I'm Kyle.
As the child of a therapist, I grew up curious about how the mind works and how it leads to patterns of behavior in adulthood. This curiosity helped me find my way through the stress, anxiety, and depression-like symptoms that we all experience as we attempt to make our way through this world.
Working through these symptoms proved easier said than done. As I’ve faced mental health challenges, I sought out help, and most of the time, this help consisted of talking about my problems with someone or reading books on how to overcome them. I would feel better for a time, but eventually I would get triggered, and it felt like I was starting over…with less hope and more despair.
It was not until I discovered EMDR therapy that I realized that my mental health challenges were symptoms of something deeper. Something that “just” talking about would not solve the problem, and often would worsen over time.
With the help of EMDR therapy, I was able to get to the root of my problems and create a permanent change in my mental health…and this is what inspired me to become a therapist. I wanted to help people not just learn coping mechanisms to deal with their stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms, but to treat the cause.
If you are ready to stop the cycle of hope leading to despair and get to the root cause of your mental health challenges, I encourage you to learn more about my journey and how it might align with you!
