If you are seeking a compassionate space where authenticity, healing, and bridges of love can grow, as an individual or a couple, I am here to create that bridge. Slowing down, understanding the deeper roots of conflict, and reconnecting with yourself, or you and your partner. My approach is warm, person-centered, and grounded in mindfulness, somatic work, and neuroscience-informed practices that support emotional awareness and nervous system regulation.

As an old man, I have nearly a lifetime of experience. Obviously, while some of that is working in a therapeutic context, I've also experienced working in the business world, I've been married (and divorced), raised children, and have suffered the loss of loved ones. I have traveled a good part of the world and understand the universality of people. I trust the healing ability of people, and I believe that with the aid of therapeutic intervention, people can find what they need to find peace in their lives.

Anxious perfectionism shows up as perpetual shame, guilt, and self-punishment. No matter how hard you try, you're always falling short. It's exhausting, but you don't really know how to relax and probably don't sleep welll. Maybe you're a grown-up "gifted and talented" kid, or the child of immigrants, or the sibling who had to keep it together. Anxious perfectionism may also show up as body tension, severe procrastination and indecision, and difficulty with boundaries and people-pleasing. Perfectionists don't do things perfectly—they feel like they ALWAYS have to do better, and they can’t be happy until they get there.

Sessions are 100% virtual, anywhere in California. There are times in our life when we can feel burnt out, lost, stuck and could use an alternative perspective to help us through these tough times.

I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief, and phase of life transitions. I am dedicated to tailoring my approach to meet the specific needs of each client, recognizing the importance of individualized care in promoting lasting change.

I work best with motivated adults who are committed to working on clearly identified psychological and relationship problems. My clients have tried to solve issues on their own but eventually recognize a need for professional assistance. They realize that therapists have no magical quick cures and that treatment takes courage, persistence and risk-taking. My clients learn that seeking help is a strength, not a weakness. They develop trust in the therapeutic relationship and make lasting gains. I honor each one of my clients who strive to make personal changes..

Living with an LGBTQ+ identity can often bring extra challenges along with experiences of resiliency and joy. As a queer-identified, polyamorous and gender fluid therapist, I value creating a safe space where multiple aspects of identity are welcome and opportunities for healing are abundant.

How often do you feel trapped in your life, stuck in patterns or habits that aren't doing you any good, or that you are not reaching your potential? We all have things that keep us from living the life that we want to lead - sometimes we need help getting through or around those obstacles, and sometimes we need help tearing them down entirely. I have been working in the mental health field since 2003, and in that time I have worked with a broad range of individuals, couples, families, and children to help improve their lives.

I view therapeutic work as an invitation to turn towards the areas of our lives that are calling to us for some attention. Sometimes this means the challenging, confusing, painful, and mysterious parts of life. Other times it may mean exploring our connection to sense of self, our desires, creativity, and vitality. Therapy helps us to consider where we would like to grow, change, and heal - within a safe-enough space based in curiosity and connection. I take the whole person's lived context into consideration, including social, cultural, economic, and systemic forces that influence our sense of wellbeing.

How are you feeling? tough question to be asked especially with the swirling energy of these times—so much movement, change, and uncertainty. It’s easy to feel unmoored. But within the chaos, there’s a quiet place we can return to: the heart center. It took time to find mine—and the journey is still unfolding.
