Hate psychobabble? Good, me too. I want to make therapy more accessible to those that think “therapy isn’t for them”
I help men build resiliency and develop purpose through honest conversations. Sometimes this means teaching tools and techniques, sometimes this means exploring painful memories, but almost always we are having authentic conversations that respect your experiences and provide ways for you to grow.

I’m an LCSW practicing in San Diego, California. I have a focus on Men’s issue’s and Gaming Addiction. Many of the men I’ve worked with have struggled to find mental health support that is sympathetic to their situation and understands their experience. I focus on concepts of mindfulness and use mainly CBT, DBT, and Strengths Based.

I am an EMDR trauma therapist and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in training who works with anxious overachievers and trauma survivors who are ready for authentic relationships with themselves, their bodies, and others. Clients may come in with recurring relationship issues, burnout, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, career/creativity blocks, low self esteem, chronic pain, experiences of abuse, suicidal ideation, and body image concerns. I support clients in finding their clarity, freedom, and inner voice to reconnect with their life force energy in order to move through difficult experiences. My goal is to help clients feel less alone and more connected to the world around them…it is possible!

Many difficulties stem from our relationships, with both ourselves and others. My work with men is direct, yet warm, empathetic, & understanding. Together we navigate how to process the blocks obstructing your view & ability to move forward. We will explore life events from the past, as behavior patterns emerge in the here-and-now. As this self-awareness develops, clients can lead more joyful & connected lives. I cater sessions to each unique individual using real-life examples & the material you provide to deepen your own understanding of YOU. Complimentary consultation visit is available to all prospective clients.

I see life like a construction project: you dream, plan, and build… until something unexpected happens. After 20 years in corporate construction, I bring a practical, down-to-earth approach to help you manage stress and anxiety, cope with burnout, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and rebuild a sense of direction at your pace.
I’m a warm, curious, and often humorous therapist who believes therapy works best when it feels collaborative, grounded, and genuinely human. When helpful, I integrate EMDR and somatic approaches that support your nervous system, helping both your mind and body process experiences and move toward greater clarity and balance.

I know firsthand how hard it can be to set aside society’s expectations of traditional masculinity and admit that it might be time to ask for help. As men, we are conditioned to try and solve life’s many complexities on our own, but the truth is reaching out for help shows immense strength, not weakness.
Perhaps you found my profile because you are considering therapy, and for that I applaud you. You have taken the first step toward healing and that is an incredible start. Maybe you still feel uncomfortable with the idea of therapy or you found me by accident. In that case, I sincerely look forward to answering your questions about how this could help improve your life as well. Either way, I am glad that you are here.

He especially loves delivering the Affirmative CBT plan with LGBTQ+ individuals, the Racial Stress plan, and the Unified Protocol for anxiety, depression, or bipolar mood disorder.

If you’re struggling with OCD, anxiety, or trauma, effective treatment is available. I provide telehealth therapy to adults anywhere in California and specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a highly effective treatment for OCD, social anxiety, illness anxiety, generalized anxiety, and specific phobias.
For PTSD, I use Prolonged Exposure therapy to help process traumatic memories and gradually face fears. Because depression and loss of motivation often occur alongside these conditions, I also use Behavioral Activation when helpful to address depressive symptoms and reduce patterns that interfere with recovery.
