With clients, I focus on how and where you find meaning in your life in addition to exploring your past and its influence on your present. I have experience in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, loss & trauma, and sexual abuse.

From my office in the heart of the Mid-City/Beverly Grove neighborhood of Los Angeles, I offer a kind and straight-forward therapeutic approach to a broad array of clients: from those merely seeking to enrich their day-to-day lives, to those seeking more robust intervention in mitigating harmful thought patterns and behaviors.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
