I’ve been specializing in working with men since I started my private practice in 2005. I have a genuine interest in helping men have better relationships with important people in their lives and with themselves.

My varied training allows me to help men understand themselves on a deeper level but I also offer here and now, practical tools to be used on a daily basis. I have a warm, straightforward style and strive to offer real help that actually…helps!

In my integrated approach to trauma therapy, I seamlessly weave Brainspotting and evidence-based talk therapy to provide comprehensive support for clients. Drawing on the power of Brainspotting, I guide clients in identifying and processing trauma through the activation of specific “brainspots,” while leveraging the insights and techniques of talk therapy to foster deeper introspection and cognitive reframing. I target both the neurological and psychological aspects of trauma, and facilitate a holistic healing journey. My practice prioritizes creating a collaborative and empathetic space, where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to navigate their healing process with self-awareness and newfound strength.

I work with men who want results. My approach to therapy is built around first principles, accurate diagnosis, and change; understanding what’s broken, why, and how to fix it. Psychological problems aren’t mysterious entities; they can be mapped, conceptualized, and worked through with the right framework and disciplined effort.

Psychotherapy with me is direct, pragmatic, and oriented toward strength, responsibility, and forward motion. Too much modern therapy pathologizes masculinity or asks men to soften, submit, or endlessly process without progress. I don’t do that. I respect male identity, male drives, and male ways of solving problems, and I use them as leverage for change. I am in California. I prefer to meet in-person. Cash-only.

Being a man never came with a manual. No sense of direction led to feeling lost, confused, stressed, not understood, and even angry. You just want to feel heard by someone who gets it, while taking impactful steps to create the life you’ve wanted for so long.

I coach and mentor you to create the masculinity you seek. I make therapy a space to workshop new perspectives, and forge newfound resiliency. I lead a path to find strength in compassion, kindness, and composure.

I know how hard it is, as a man, to admit you need help. Even more so to ask for it. I won’t judge or criticize. You can thrive with a men’s issues therapist who wants nothing more than to help you be all that you can, and more.

The decision to seek therapy is not easy. It means we have to confront the truth that we are struggling in some facet of our life and need help finding resolution. I specialize in brain-body based therapies, such as EMDR and Brainspotting, which tap into the source of our emotional wounds located in the body. These healing modalities are highly effective in helping identify and resolve the roots of one’s distress, presenting as anxiety, depression, stress or trauma(s) that are negatively impacting your life and overall wellbeing.

My approach is one that allows all of you to show up in the therapy room. Anxiety, depression, overthinking, difficulty connecting in relationships, shame… all these things can impact our ability to live our life to the fullest. So much of the cultural messaging around masculinity centers around avoiding vulnerability, and avoiding difficult emotions. By being present to what is actually here, we are much better equipped to choose how we want to show up in our lives. Talking with someone, especially as a man, can feel difficult, and I strive to provide an environment that feels comfortable, safe, and real. Reach out for a free consultation.

Therapy with me is a co-created process – grounded in down-to earth discussion, respect, humor, gentle challenging, deep understanding, and the belief that meaningful change comes from a combination of a strong therapeutic relationship, insight, awareness, and learning the tools and coping skills to create meaningful change and action.

As a father, I have a personal interest in supporting new and expecting dads, supporting them to navigate the emotional complexities of parenthood, like struggling with a new identity as a father, the overwhelming responsibilities to your child, partner, and career, and the feelings of confusion, irritability, stress, and depression.
