Oregon Men Don’t Slow Down—Until They Crash
In Oregon, guys pride themselves on hard work, independence, and carrying their own weight. Whether you’re grinding in Portland’s fast-paced tech scene, managing the stress of family life in Salem, or working long hours in Eugene or Bend, men here are expected to keep pushing—no matter the cost.
But the truth is, many Oregon men are silently battling stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, and addictions. And when men finally speak up? Too often, they’re met with blank stares, quick fixes, or the old “man up” line.
At Forge Men’s Wellness, I cut through that noise. Therapy here is built for men—straight talk, no judgment, no lectures. Just real strategies that help you feel like yourself again.
Why Men in Oregon Struggle to Get Help
-
ISOLATION – FROM PORTLAND’S FAST PACE TO RURAL OREGON TOWNS, MANY MEN FEEL CUT OFF AND ALONE.
DIVORCE RELATED STRESS
-
WORK STRESS – WHETHER IT’S TECH, TRADES, FARMING, OR RUNNING A SMALL BUSINESS, BURNOUT HITS HARD.
-
FATHERHOOD PRESSURE – BALANCING BEING “THE PROVIDER” WITH BEING PRESENT AT HOME CAN FEEL CRUSHING.
-
ADDICTIONS – ALCOHOL, WEED, PORN, OR GAMBLING BECOME THE ESCAPE WHEN STRESS BUILDS UP.
-
RELATIONSHIPS & DIVORCE – THE STRAIN AT HOME OFTEN FEELS LIKE A SECOND FULL-TIME JOB.

My Approach To Men's Therapy In Oregon
At Forge Men’s Wellness, I work with men across Oregon—whether you’re in Portland, Eugene, Salem, Bend, Medford, or a smaller town—helping you face challenges head-on, regain balance, and rediscover a clear sense of purpose.
I know every man’s story is different, which is why I don’t believe in cookie-cutter therapy. Instead, I create a plan that fits your life, your struggles, and your goals.

You're Different
At Forge Men’s Wellness, I don’t just see symptoms—I see you. Your story, your background, your values, and your identity all shape the man you are today. That’s why I take the time to understand where you’re coming from and what you’ve been through.

No one-size-fits-all therapy. Just real support for men in Oregon who are ready to face stress, burnout, anxiety, or relationship struggles head-on.
Why Work With Me?
I GET IT—BECAUSE I’VE BEEN THERE. I’ve battled anxiety after starting my business, depression after the birth of my first son, and more than a few rounds of burnout. I know firsthand that mental health hits men just as hard—but let’s be honest, most therapy spaces feel like they were built for women and kids, not for us.
That’s why I created Forge Men’s Wellness—a space where men in Oregon can get real support from someone who has walked in their shoes. No judgment. No lectures. Just straight-up therapy and counseling for men who are tired of carrying the weight alone.
Whether you’re in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, Medford, or anywhere in Oregon, you don’t have to wait for things to get worse.
My virtual men’s counseling gives you direct, practical support—on your terms.
