I primarily work with men who feel stuck. This "stuckness" often relates to a life stage, a a search for meaning, a difficult relational moment, or a loss that needs to be carefully worked through. Shame, which most men are socialized around, often stands in the way of getting support in these moments. Shame is often the wall that I help dissolve with my clients so that insight, joy, and adventure can naturally happen.

I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, broken relationships, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, financial recklessness, and gambling. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

You, like many men today, may feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected—from others and, most importantly, from yourself. You deserve a space to slow down, be heard, and build trust and confidence in who you are. A space where you can handle life’s stressors, strengthen the relationships that matter, and feel more grounded navigating life’s ups and downs.

Other common areas related to my focus revolve around men's issues in life, relationships, and work.
Excessive pornography use can eat away at the foundation of trust in relationships, leaving your partner feeling deeply hurt and inadequate. How can something so common and seemingly benign be so hard to control? It starts with casual screen use for work that morphs effortlessly into social media, then adult content, cam sites, or OnlyFans. This is especially challenging for ambitious men used to figuring things out alone. I’m not just a professional; I’ve been in your shoes and know the cost to your integrity when this goes unaddressed. If you're tired of this cycle, there is a clear path out.

I work with thoughtful, high-functioning individuals who feel emotionally stuck and disconnected from their authentic selves despite insight, effort, or external success. Many are navigating trauma, attachment patterns, cultural or identity-related stress, and relationship challenges, and want more than superficial distraction. People desire real change. They are seeking emotional relief, self-understanding, and a deeper, more grounded connection with themselves and others. I’m especially mindful of how culture, language, and lived experience shape emotional safety and healing. We all want to journey back home to emotional safety.

Imagine your ideal life: achieving your dreams, feeling purposeful, and fully embracing your true self. For many, these aspirations are clouded by inner obstacles – rigidity, defensiveness, outdated assumptions, loneliness, and a distorted self-image. Past hurts, negative beliefs, repressed emotions, mood swings, outdated thinking, and social conditioning hold them back, causing deep frustration and pain. These individuals yearn to feel whole, free from these cycles, and seek meaningful change. They long for connection, belonging, and a sense of ease within themselves to enjoy authentic and fulfilling relationships and career.

I do this work because I genuinely love it. I am very honest and direct with clients and encourage openness from each of us. Therapy is an opportunity to slow down, get reacquainted with ourselves, and engage in vulnerability and playfulness that is too often not accessed. I offer a supportive, completely non-judgmental space where everything and anything is on the table (trust me, as therapists, we have heard it all). Trust and comfortability take time, and I respect clients’ pace and readiness to travel in difficult directions. I also promise to (compassionately) hold you accountable to promote growth and healing.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
