Male Therapists in Palo Alto, CA

I offer online therapy for male professionals in California seeking greater balance, confidence, and fulfillment in life. I treat men dealing with career stress, anxiety, communication and relationship difficulties, and guys lacking purpose and motivation. They may also be grappling with indecision or overthinking, anger, irritability, or insomnia and are looking for Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from a seasoned professional. Treatment goals are often to improve quality of life, achieve personal/professional growth, live a more fulfilling life, get "unstuck", and strengthen their skills to enhance personal growth.

I have worked for over 25 years with folks who have struggled with a range of internal, interpersonal, relational, and environmental challenges and questions. This includes: difficult thoughts; "stuck" patterns of behavior, including addictions; persistent sadness and depression; relationship and family difficulties; loneliness; thoughts of life-and-death; trauma; identity and sexuality questions; experiences of madness; and other difficult life situations. I focus on working with adolescents (16+), young adults (18-25), and adults of all ages. I also work with men of all ages on questions of masculinity and "manhood".

I work primarily with teenage boys and adult men and women. My work addresses a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, learning differences, attention and executive functioning deficits, divorce and other family issues, substance abuse and dependence, parenting, health concerns, stage of life issues, professional stresses and transitions, and deeper exploration of emotional, psychological and spiritual issues. Many of my teenage patients are facing a combination of family, school and social issues. My adult patients are often seeking assistance with personal and family issues, struggles in the workplace, and deeper issues relating to meaning, purpose and spiritual direction.

Don't Let Your Feelings Get The Best Of You. Is a persistent, overwhelming sense of grief and sadness preventing you from living the life you want? Are you dealing with intense emotions of shame, guilt, or hopelessness for seemingly no reason at all? Perhaps you have experienced a traumatic event or childhood neglect that is manifesting as fear, anxiety, or helplessness. Or it could be that you recognize the signs of depression but feel like you have nowhere to turn. If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone. And I want to assure you that there is much we can do to help you find inner peace and greater contentment.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I have been in private practice for twenty-eight years and I believe therapy issues are all related to loss.

My new book is titled Letting go of Grief: Move your Body to Rock and Soul. You can check it out here: http://tinyurl.com/k8kggrv

You are not broken. It is human to feel loss, sadness, anger, fear, or unworthiness. Recent advances in neuroscience can help us understand why we feel stuck, sad, stressed, scared or alone. When we begin to understand the implicit/unconscious feelings/beliefs that automatically run inside of us we begin a journey that can lead to more awareness, and therefore to more choice in our lives. The hardest part of this journey is the first step; to make your growth a priority enough to tolerate the discomfort of facing what isn't working.

When it comes to Pastoral Care, (I.e. Spiritual Resiliency and over-all Spiritual Health), most intelligent progressive thinking people want acceptance, compassion and care from their Therapist in a non judgmental atmosphere. Having been on the receiving end of those over baring ministers, I can honestly say, " I feel your pain." My main objective is your main objective. My ministry exist to meet you at your point of need.

Many of my patients are struggling with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My therapeutic approach is warm, genuine, and engaging and often combines psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and attachment perspectives within a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I am passionate about helping my patients to identify their inherent strengths and motivations for change while also bringing awareness to obstacles that may be blocking them from experiencing lives that feel fulfilling and meaningful.

We can emerge from our struggles more sturdy, wise, and fulfilled than ever before. This is the opportunity hidden in life's challenges: they compel us to stretch and grow, to uncover untapped potentials, and to engage our lives in new and creative ways. My role is to serve as a support and guide to help you transform struggle into growth and change. I bring a warm and open heart, years of experience, and a thorough knowledge of a variety of therapeutic methods including leading-edge mindfulness-based approaches.

Are you or loved ones facing challenges you want to work through in safety and confidence? Reacting to life events with worry or sadness? Ready for a new beginning? For better or worse, our experience is shaped by expectations and habits that are maintained by loyalty to important relationships, and by cycles of confirming experience. They affect our happiness, our relationships and the success of our endeavors. Therapy can help. In a safe empathic relationship, unhelpful expectations and habits can be retired, and happier habits of relating to life and others can be learned, chosen and implemented.
