Who I Help
-
Help for Social Anxiety in Men
Social anxiety can make everyday situations feel overwhelming—especially for men under pressure to appear confident. I help clients overcome avoidance, fear of judgment, and isolation through practical, evidence-based therapy.
-
Counseling for Teen Boys
Is your teen son struggling with anxiety, low confidence, or social pressure? I help teenage boys open up in a safe, supportive space and develop emotional strength, coping tools, and resilience.
-
Support for Families in Ministry
Pastors, ministry leaders, and their families often carry unique emotional burdens. My counseling services support faith-aligned families with compassion and deep understanding of ministry life.

Therapy for Young Men in College & Early Adulthood
Many young men wrestle with identity, comparison, and purpose. Whether you're in college or starting your career, therapy can offer clarity, emotional support, and practical steps toward healthy growth.
Feeling anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed? You’re not alone.
Whether you’re a young man facing pressure, a parent concerned for your teen, or someone in ministry who’s carrying too much—this is a place to pause and heal.
You were made for more than survival.
If you're a teen or young adult man struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, or constantly comparing yourself to others, you're not alone—and you don’t have to face it alone.
At TN Oaks Counseling, I specialize in working with teen boys (ages 12–18) and young men (college-aged and early professionals) who feel overwhelmed by expectations, pressure, or disconnection. Whether it's social anxiety, emotional numbness, or a deep sense of “not enough,” there is a path forward—and therapy can help.
Therapy Designed for Teen Boys & Young Men
In a world where emotions are often avoided or minimized, many young men silently carry the weight of anxiety, loneliness, and pressure to perform. At TN Oaks, therapy is a place to be real—without fear of judgment or performance.
I help clients work through:
Social and performance anxiety
Comparison and social media pressure
Low confidence or self-esteem
Feeling misunderstood or emotionally stuck
Life transitions (high school to college, college to career)

Why Work With a Male Therapist?
As a male counselor, I understand firsthand how tough it can be for guys to open up. I provide a calm, confidential space that respects your pace. This isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you better understand your story, build emotional tools, and gain confidence to live more fully.
