You don’t have to face stress, overwhelm, emotional pain, or ADHD alone. I’m here to help you feel understood and finally build the clarity, peace, and momentum you deserve

Welcome, I'm Craig and I'm here to help you get to the happier and healthier life you want

​

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Professional Counselor, and Life Coach from Chicago, Illinois, with over 30 years of mental health experience helping adults make sense of their inner world and find real relief from struggle, upset, and feeling lost.

I specialize in helping people figure out the root causes of their problems and overcome

chronic stress

anxiety

burnout

depression

relationship problems

unhealthy conflicts

irritability & anger

or just feeling overwhelmed by life

If you have adult ADHD, I use my deep understanding of ADHD to help you truly understand yourself and make real changes to help reduce chronic related problems. 

​

You may be here because something isn’t working or you’re tired of masking, stuck in patterns you can’t quite break, or just longing to feel heard and understood.

​

Therapy and life coaching can help you

reconnect with who you really are

make peace with your past

build a life that feels more stable, meaningful, and fulfilling

​

Together, we’ll create a safe, non-judgmental space to explore what’s been holding you back and begin crafting the changes you need. This is your space to talk things through with a neutral professional to help you gain clarity, perspective, healing, and growth one step at a time. Join me in a journey of self-understanding so you can build the life you want

​

When it comes to mental health, adult men have been a chronically underserved and neglected population with only a fraction of those who want help receiving it. I'm here to reduce barriers and improve access for mens' mental health so that everyone has equal access to support. At least half of the clients I see come in to help save or improve their relationships. Emotional health is essential for intimacy and forming lasting healthy and stress free relationships. Many men were programed to suppress and ignore their feelings and now need extra support to understand, name, process, and express their feelings in healthy and productive ways. So come talk and let's level you up with your partner.

Top 10 Reasons Men Seek Therapy

1. Anxiety or Chronic Stress
   – Major life changes, work pressure, financial worries, unable to relax, or feeling constantly "on edge" 

2. Depression or Emotional Numbness
   – Instead of sadness, men often report irritability, withdrawal, or a sense of emptiness

3. Relationship Issues
   – Struggles with communication, conflict, emotional availability, or shutting down in romantic, family, or work relationships

4. Anger, Irriatability, or Frustration Problems
   – Difficulty managing anger, emotional outbursts, or defensiveness when criticized

5. ADHD and Executive Dysfunction
   – Trouble with hyperactive mind, focus, impulses, emotions, organization, time management, and follow-through 

6. Career Burnout or Lack of Purpose
   – Feeling stuck in a job or life, unmotivated, or unsure of direction; therapy helps reconnect your values and goals

7. Substance Use or Problematic Coping Mechanisms
   – Drinking, weed, porn, or impulsive behaviors used to numb emotional pain or avoid feeling emotions

8. Trauma or PTSD (often unrecognized)
   – Past experiences of emotional abuse and neglect can be triggered and resurface unexpectedly

9. Fatherhood or Changing Life Roles
   – The pressures of a new job, being a provider, dad, or partner can spark identity struggles or emotional overwhelm

10. Loneliness and Isolation
    – Many men lack emotionally safe and supportive friendships; therapy is your space to be truly seen and heard
