***CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** With a history of working with men from all walks of life, including athletes, first responders, and students, it is clear to me that many of us are taught to separate our hearts and our heads in order to navigate our lived experience. We learn that emotions are not to be trusted, indeed that they are to be suspended if we are to make intelligent decisions. Along with this mistrust of emotion I often encounter the harmful effects of fatherlessness or abusive/neglectful father figures, which damages our understanding of masculinity and how that masculinity expresses itself in daily life.

I provide psychological assessment of mood, psychosis, trauma, developmental, and personality concerns. The consequences of a problem are often apparent, such as when a child is experiencing academic problems at school, or an adult struggles to maintain personal or professional relationships. The problem itself, however, can often be unclear. A quality assessment can provide you with a heightened understanding of your functioning, including your strengths and growth areas. The assessment will include practical recommendations to enhance the quality of your personal, work, or academic functioning.

We all go through things in our lives that are difficult. I believe that it is through these struggles that we have the opportunity to grow. If you're finding yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or you're not able to function like you'd like to, it may be time to seek the support of a therapist. Therapy offers a unique environment that is different from talking with family and friends or attempting to solve problems with your own set of tools. Because we can’t see ourselves in an unbiased way, therapy can be a space to identify and challenge patterns and perspectives that aren’t working or that you may not even be aware of.

I am accepting clients in person (SLO) and via telehealth and offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if we might work well together.
My clients seek a safe, non-judgmental, space where they can show up authentically, receive support navigating painful experiences, find ways to cope and manage distress, and to have an objective "sounding board." Often clients hope to process the impact that their experiences have had on them while identifying ways they can create changes that will allow them to live their lives in ways that are fulfilling, meaningful, and values-driven.

In a time where distractions and uncertainties are omnipresent. Where isolation is fostered by "screen connections", anxiety that keeps us from achieving our true potential, or depression that makes it difficult to get out of bed in the morning. We are more alone than ever before and in need of true, meaningful connections. Reaching out for support is the first step in rebuilding and reclaiming our lives. In my practice, I strive to cultivate a safe space where you can begin your healing journey through a trauma-informed lens. You will learn how to fully regain control of your life and create the life you have always wanted.

Failing to get help, many divorced people regret that they gave up too soon. As a marriage specialist for over two decades, you can trust that you are in the care of a competent advocate for your marriage. Every marriage faces the power struggle -it's supposed to happen. Too many quit their marriage at this crucial time. Not giving yourselves the opportunity to work through this painful stage could be a tragedy because this very stage carries the seeds of true character growth and healing. An affair, dishonesty, conflict, or stress can rob you of the feelings of attunement.
