Male Therapists in Clovis, CA
I love helping adults or teens of any age who don't feel good and wants that to change. They may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or emotional pain they can’t fully explain. Sometimes they know what hurts; other times they only know something isn’t right. They feel stuck, lost, or worn down and want relief, clarity, and a way forward. They want to feel better—not just function better—and reconnect with themselves. If you’re hurting and want the pain to ease, or feel lost and want help finding yourself, I want to walk alongside you. Especially if you've been through trauma, I know what that is like - and how to help.

It is a challenging experience to find a therapist. It is challenging because you have to be brave enough to seek therapy even though there is stigma, fear, and doubt that you may hear from others or even your own mind that says to not try. To further make it challenging, you may have a lengthier search finding a therapist who fits with you personally after coming up with the courage to even meet with one. So I'd like to thank you for seeking therapy in general and also thank you for allowing me to share some details of my practice so that you might consider us working together.

Let’s be honest, life is often a struggle. We go through hardships in our relationships, at work, school, home, and within ourselves. Some experience depression, anxiety or trauma, while others struggle to understand or accept who they are. That being said, life is also amazing and can be full of beautiful moments and experiences. The difficulty lies when our struggles get in the way of being able to enjoy those good moments. My hope as your therapist is to help you manage and overcome whatever struggles you may be experiencing, and to allow you to enjoy the beauty in life again.

Relationship problems, depression, and anxiety are extremely painful and can threaten to overwhelm us. Work stressors can leave us feeling empty and without meaning or direction. Problems in school like bullying, lack of focus, and poor attention can cause self-doubt and prevent us from being successful. I've been a practicing Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist since 2012 and during that time I've worked with individuals, couples, and family's.

You've been carrying the exhaustion of being stuck in rumination, where your mind replays worries, doubts, or "what ifs" on repeat.

You will never feel fully prepared to face the things that scare you. That's why healing isn't about feeling better—it's about learning to lean into discomfort rather than running from it. I work with couples and individuals who struggle with relationship distress, unresolved traumas, and life transitions. You can expect therapy with me to be collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping you safely lean into the places that deserve and need your attention. To help us get there I use attachment- and body-based approaches of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and Expressive Arts.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
