I have experience in treatment of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, sexual health, men's issues, LGBTQIA+, job stress, phase of life issues, OCD, and life coaching.
My approach to working with clients is rooted in developing a rapport that will evolve throughout the therapeutic journey. I am passionate about mental health, but also approach treatment from a whole body perspective, where we can not only treat mental health, but spiritual and emotional health as well. I encourage my clients to reach beyond their comfort zone and restructure their approach to their life that fosters balance and happiness in their personal and professional lives.

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?" Many have been here and have had similar thoughts including me. 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.

My philosophy is that therapy is a team approach, and I view myself as a fellow traveler walking alongside my clients on their therapeutic journey. I believe that we all deserve a place where we can explore our thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental setting. People's thoughts, ideals, values, and opinions are important to them, and I offer a therapeutic environment that allows individuals to explore these without bias or judgment. In addition, I have a deep passion for helping individuals explore life transitions at any stage, as well as those suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship issues.

Hi. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in California. I have extensive training and clinical experience in trauma therapies. My perspective is that childhood trauma has a lifelong impact on the ability of people to like, accept, and have compassion for themselves; to feel, express, and regulate their emotions; to be vulnerable, honest, and communicative in relationships; to take risks at work and in relationships; and to find meaning, satisfaction, and joy in life.

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.
