Therapy with me is a mix of honest reflection and practical tools. It’s a space where you can drop the pressure to have it all together and get real about what’s working – and what’s not. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and beliefs that are keeping you stuck and build clear, effective strategies to help you move forward with purpose.

I help professional men reduce stress, improve relationships, and reconnect with purpose in work and life. My approach blends insight and action – so you don’t just talk about change, you start living it. You don’t have to keep going in circles. Schedule a free consultation today, and let’s get to work.

As a sex-positive, kink-affirming, and LGBTQ+ inclusive psychologist in San Diego, I work individually with men in their 20s-40s on issues like anxiety, depression, sexual concerns, relationship stress, substance use, and grief. My approach to therapy is collaborative, empowering, and evidence-based, and clients find me to be active, compassionate, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I offer a safe environment to help unburden you from difficult thoughts, painful feelings, and unhelpful patterns, so that you can gain new coping skills, discover more helpful ways of thinking, and explore new ways of living a fulfilling life.

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.

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 experienced therapist, LMFT#23779, of more than thirty years. I have my own practice in San Diego, CA, and also counsel online, and teach graduate behavioral science courses virtually. I work primarily with adults, individually or as couples. I’ve led numerous support groups for men, as well as working individually with alcohol and porn addiction. I’ve also assisted men with life transitions, loss, divorce, parenting, co-parenting, self-care, anger management, and domestic violence. I assist in helping men understand themselves and to be responsible and accountable for their choices and behaviors. Men also need an awareness of what a woman needs in a healthy relationship, and I work in this area as well.

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.

In my practice as a therapist I use the research on what works to help my clients get the outcomes they want: better relationships, managed anxiety, less depression and more control over life. I do not limit our work into any single modality but blend a variety of techniques to tailor my approach for each individual. I draw influence from cognitive behavioral, humanistic and dynamic psychotherapy. Therapy is a place to develop and apply philosophy to get to a different place than we are able to get on our own. I’m excited to join you!

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.

I HELP MILLENNIAL AND GEN X PROFESSIONALS CONSCIOUSLY GET WHAT THEY WANT (IN LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS). Life is overwhelming. Between work, relationships, and technology calling for your attention at every moment, it’s extremely difficult to remain calm and grounded. We can lose our sense of purpose and passion.

Unlike other therapists who merely sit and listen, I take an active and engaged approach. You may find yourself in a guided meditation or a role-play exercise. There may be optional homework assignments. We’ll tune into exactly what you need. I’m here to support you to find your unique, confident voice.
