I specialize in working with teens, athletes, and men because I identify with these groups in a way that allows me to meaningfully connect with clients. As a student athlete, I relate to issues of performance anxiety and pressure. As a person who used to struggle with depression and anxiety, I know what it takes to manage disruptive symptoms. And as a husband and father, I can identify with the struggles of prioritizing relationships and maintaining a work-life balance. These unique perspectives make me suited to work with individuals who often don’t have the privilege of seeing themselves in the counseling spaces.

If you feel scattered no matter how hard you try, start strong then lose follow-through, or live with a brain that won’t power down, you’re not alone. Attention and focus challenges can look like unfinished plans, chronic overwhelm, feeling constantly “on” and exhausted by your own thoughts. It can also spill into relationships: missed details, drifting attention, frustration, or attachment patterns that flare when you’re stressed. I work with clients to help them make sense of what’s happening and build a steadier, more workable way to live and connect. You can feel calmer, clearer, and more consistent.

Struggling to show up physically, emotionally, and socially at school or work? Overwhelmed with the thought that things may never get better? Or with the thought, "I'm better off alone?"

But if my 25+ years of working with youth, young adults, and families have taught me anything, it’s the incredible ability of a healing connection to create change, even when things are looking bleak. No matter where you find yourself, positive change is possible. It’s my belief that honesty, transparency and open conversation can pave the way to a better tomorrow.

I am founder of The NorCal Center for Men. We focus on helping men heal from bad relationship experiences or build better ones with those around them, whether those relationships are with peers, family or romantic partners.

I also have solid experience working with children, teens and young adults in various capacities, and have something special to offer all people going through major life transitions.

Are you a man who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or not like yourself lately?
Maybe you’re carrying stress you don’t talk about. Maybe your confidence has taken a hit. Or maybe you’re successful on the outside but quietly struggling on the inside.
I specialize in working with men in California who are dealing with depression, low self-esteem, relationship stress, anger, burnout, and questions about purpose or direction. Many of the men I work with have spent years pushing through on their own. Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to perform, fix everything immediately, or hold it all together.

Something is opening in you — and it doesn't fit the old maps.
Maybe you've had an experience that cracked your sense of reality open: a mystical state, a kundalini surge, a sudden dissolving of the self you thought you were. Maybe it happened gradually — a slow unraveling of old beliefs, relationships, or identities that once felt solid. Either way, you're left standing in unfamiliar territory, and the people around you don't quite know what to do with what you're describing. Some call it a crisis. I call it an emergence — and it deserves care that meets both its depth and its intensity.

I strongly believe clients are the experts in their own experience and that their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs should be valued as such.

We can explore how your current strengths (talents, relationships, resources, and community connections) can be used to support your goals for improved living and functioning.

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.
