Male Therapists in Murrieta, CA
In the words of Ted Lasso: “Be curious, not judgmental.” I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to the work, with a focus on supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety disorders, neurodiversity, and those seeking gender-affirming care.
The journey into counseling is rooted in two core passions: a deep curiosity about the human mind and a love for meaningful collaboration. I draw from both psychoanalytic and client-centered approaches to help explore each person’s unique challenges, desires, and goals. My aim is to bring empathy, humor, and—above all—curiosity into the therapeutic space.

I am licensed in both California and Tennessee and provide virtual therapy to clients located anywhere in Tennessee through a secure Telehealth platform. As a former First Responder, I understand the unique challenges of working in high-stress environments and the impact trauma can have on daily life. The weight of these experiences can dim our internal light, creating waves of sadness, anxiety, fear, and even a sense of isolation. Taking the first step toward healing—reaching out to a therapist—can be difficult, but you don’t have to face it alone.

My approach to psychotherapy involves establishing rapport and trust and utilizing the most effective techniques to assist my patients. These include psychodynamic and cognitive approaches as well as specialized techniques such as EMDR for treating PTSD, as well as other trauma-related conditions. Traumatic experiences are often overlooked when treating anxiety and depressive disorders, and are often a focus in how I treat these problems. I also focus on such conditions in aging populations and treat patients with age-related, retirement, grief, and loss issues throughout the life cycle.

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and love working with individuals and couples. I believe that everyone desires connection and wants to be heard. I also believe actually receiving it and having a desire are vastly different. Most of us find the "one," then life happens, careers kick off, kids, and before we know it the connection has been lost. We feel stuck, lost, and like it's impossible to get it back to that feeling. My job is to help you to identify those stuck places and develop new experiences that propel you forward in the relationship and better equip you when similar feelings of disconnection arise.

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.
