MATT'S STORY
Broadening the narrow definitions of manhood...
I do this work because I know how much pressure men face to fit into narrow definitions of masculinity. From an early age, boys are told to be tough, silent, and self-reliant—but those lessons can leave them isolated, unsure of themselves, and disconnected from the people who matter most.
​
With teen boys, I create space to imagine something better: a healthy masculinity rooted in self-awareness, compassion, and respect. Helping them grow into men who can build equal, meaningful relationships is one way to break cycles of harm before they take hold.
​
With grown men, the struggles often look different but stem from the same place. Many hit mid-life feeling unmoored—facing shifting identities, changing relationships, and questions about purpose. Others find themselves unprepared to support a partner through perimenopause or other life transitions. I work alongside men in these moments, offering tools for resilience, openness, and connection.
​
At the heart of all this is a simple belief: when men are supported in becoming whole, everyone benefits. Families become stronger. Relationships deepen. Communities thrive. And boys growing up today can inherit a different story of what it means to be a man.
