I work with folks from all walks of life, and specialize in working with gay men and the larger LGBTQ+ community, to alleviate depression, anxiety, shame, work stress, relationship issues, questions of meaning, & life transitions. I use a variety of therapeutic methods, including Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and psychedelic integration. Psychedelic therapy allows access to deeper layers of self and accelerates progress toward personal growth and healing; it can accomplish in a short timeframe what might otherwise take years of weekly talk therapy. KAP is sliding scale ($150-$175).

I use my extensive somatic training to help my clients build more capacity to be with and understand their feelings so that they can be in charge of their lives instead of their feelings pushing them around. I help clients with issues ranging from social anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, sleep issues, chronic pain, navigating difficult family and work environments, finding and focusing on their passion in life, and dealing with the traumatic state of the world.

When looking for a therapist, it's important that we find someone who we believe can help us. We need someone we feel comfortable with, and someone we can trust.

In my practice, I work with clients struggling with mood disorders, substance abuse, personality disorders, and relationship problems. I believe in aligning our thoughts, emotions, words, behavior, and spirit in order to see our path laid out before us with clarity.

100% Online Telehealth. Hi! I take it since you're here reading this that you are looking for a therapist. Don't be nervous, it's a piece of cake. I was once like you doing the exact same thing and I understand. Are you feeling overwhelmed by life or simply looking to explore some "bumps in the road?" Life isn't always a straight line and often times we need to step off the trail and take a look at the bigger picture. I can help you do that whether you need to dive into subconscious childhood trauma or learn new mindfulness practices. Give me a call, shoot me a text, or send me an email and let's talk about how I can help.

I trained as a contemplative psychotherapist at Naropa University, where meditation and mindfulness were foundational elements of my studies. As my mentor used to say, “Therapy is about creating more choices." I teach mindfulness skills integrated with a cognitive-behavioral approach. I will support you in having more awareness of your behaviors and cognitions, so that you can move past your limitations to create more satisfaction with yourself, your life, and your sexual relations. If you are interested in learning more about how sex therapy may help you, sign-up for a free consultation below. I’d love to learn how I may help you.

Are you and your partner in a rut when it comes to sex? Or maybe it's not happening at all? I specialize in working with committed couples who have lost their sexy spark and are looking to feel closer, more excited & genuinely passionate again. My work is unique in that it's not about tips and tricks, but rather the deeper psychological blockages that might be holding you back in the bedroom. If you're ready to do the work and transform your relationship, I would be honored to be your guide.

At East Bay Center for Anxiety Relief, we work with adults, children, teens, couples, and families. We also facilitate periodic groups focused on communication skills, social skills, anxiety, depression, and working women. We strive for mindful, efficient, and effective therapy. Our clinicians are trained in research-based models such as TEAM-CBT, ACT and Gottman couples/family models. We work a bit differently than more traditional practices. We don’t cram an hour of therapy into 50 minutes. Instead, we provide full 60-, 75-, or 90-minute sessions.

My therapeutic approach is different from most psychotherapists: I focus on what is RIGHT with you (in order to address such things as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, etc.). I believe the solutions to what ails us often lis in our inherent strengths and qualities. I help you rediscover these strengths, your resilience, and your most high-functioning self. I work with all populations, but often with artists, creatives and creative executives. Neurodiversity is not the exception, but the norm. We are unique beings all of us; as such, I tailor interventions specific to you.
