Many gay men look fine on the outside—successful, competent, admired—yet feel anxious, lonely, or stuck underneath. Dating fatigue. A relationship strain you can’t quite name. Desire changes. Old family wounds that still shape your reactions. If you’re tired of managing yourself and want real clarity and relief, I can help. This is thoughtful, direct therapy for men who want depth, not clichés.
I’ve spent 34 years helping gay men navigate hard epochs—from the AIDS crisis to post-9/11 anxiety to today’s political and cultural volatility. Clients come to me because they don’t want to educate their therapist about gay male culture or sexuality. They want work that’s intelligent, candid, and grounded in real experience.
I’m a California LCSW and AASECT certified Sex Therapist, and a retired USC adjunct professor and clinical supervisor. I work via telehealth throughout California and offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. Colleagues often describe my work as thoughtful, steady, and deeply affirming for gay men navigating complex lives.
