Video game counseling is a novel approach that uses video games in counseling sessions to help closed-off clients express themselves. Video game counseling is a more immersive, artistic, and creative medium for clients to build skills and process their difficulties. I also help gamers stuck in their life to gain control over their video game habits and fulfill their other life ambitions.

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.

I believe the most meaningful way to connect is through listening. Each person has a unique and interesting story that should be heard. Perhaps the greatest support we can offer is our undivided attention. I consider it a privilege to provide a safe space where people discover new aspects of themselves.

Couples Counseling, Addiction, and Men’s Issues are my specialty.

My practice can help you take stock of childhood messages you learned around toxic masculinity and heteronormativity so you can truly let go of what is no longer serving a purpose in your life. Depression, suicidal thoughts, self harming, addiction and going through tough periods in your relationships can be challenging. You don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can help you heal old relational trauma that is causing you distress, so you can be your best self at work, with friends and loved ones and in your intimate relationships.

Like water carving rocks, we are shaped by our surroundings and where we come from. I grew up in rural Alaska surrounded by a vast expanse of towering mountains and large glacial rivers. I worked for many years as a wilderness guide, experiential educator and wilderness therapist. Dramatic seasonal changes in light, temperature, and landscape taught me that stillness exists within the extremes. I work from a perspective that combines modern neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology, internal family systems, eco therapy and eastern mysticism. Among other things I am a father, carpenter, adventurer and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP). Please feel free to reach out for a free 15 min consultation through my website.
