Authenticity is hard. Men and families are my specialty. It's never too late and you're never too old to walk toward change. As an AMHC, I offer a secure, non-judgmental space for addressing issues like depression, anxiety, marriage & relational conflict, trauma/sexual abuse and PTSD. Most men only seek therapy if there is a crisis. Many men have experienced lack of connection with their fathers left with a feeling of being "Fatherless Men." As a result, men struggle with trust and have difficulty with relationships, specifically healthy romantic attachments. Whatever your story, it's time for a new direction, called change.

Life can be a real challenge: stress, arguments, impatience, thoughts of divorce, feeling disconnected, depressed, anxious..... It can be hard knowing what direction to take, where to draw the line with others, and how not to be used or abused in the process. Some people need a long-term therapist to work through deep and enduring problems while others may want to check-in for only a session or two to keep in psychological shape. Your goals for happiness, sorting through a decision, reducing your anxiety, or just figuring out what is wrong are equally important to me in working with you.

It shouldn’t feel this hard to slow your brain down! You wake up overthinking everything, your brain won’t stop, and by bedtime you’re replaying conversations, worrying about emails, and wondering if you’re enough. You push yourself to the limit, overachieve, people-please, and still feel like you’re never enough (and somehow too much). You can’t relax, even on the couch, without guilt or spiraling thoughts. Self-help books, podcasts, journaling, and mindfulness tips haven’t helped. If you’ve been Googling “what actually works for anxiety” or “how to stop overthinking,” you’re in the right place.

Are you feeling sad, lonely or hurt? Are you struggling with relationships? Are you experiencing the many ways substance use can create pain, whether for you or someone you love? Are you living with a mental health condition that requires support? Identifying limiting beliefs and unhelpful behaviors are essential steps to living an emotionally stable life, whatever difficulties you may be experiencing. Often, emotional recovery begins with healing long-buried childhood trauma. And I believe relief can sometimes happen as early as the first session. (Licensed in CA, TX and FL.)

Ask yourself the last time you felt truly connected to the current moment. Most of us would admit that living in the present is a struggle. So often, we get caught up in trying to rewrite the already lived chapters in our life stories, or have a desire to over control and predict the outcome, that we lose sight of the chapter that we're currently writing. This tendency keeps us from being the best, most authentic versions of ourselves and limits our ability to consider what's truly important and meaningful. I enjoy working with clients who recognize this conflict and are willing to sit with and consider their current experience.
