I specialize in helping clients who are going through life transitions, seeking to increase vitality and connection, trying to regain personal agency and sense of purpose, suffering from OCD or intrusive anxiety, wanting to explore psychedelic medicine, or struggling with common men's issues such as masculinity, success, loneliness, and intimacy.
I came to psychotherapy practice after a long legal career motivated by seeking external validation, which left me prideful, lost, and lonely. My journey to self-love, connection, and meaning was enabled by psychedelics, community, therapy, and wisdom practices from both the East and West. Drawing on my therapy training and experience, as well as lessons from my own transformation, I would be excited to accompany and support you as you build toward a life with more meaning, agency, vitality, connection, and peace.

My approach to therapy uses conversation, curiosity, and humor to help clients regain a sense of control of their sensations, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors under stress. I believe that clients have the power to feel safer in their bodies relative to others and their environments by observing their perceptions, reinterpreting them, and accepting what they can and cannot control about them. I also believe that history, culture, and hierarchies of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, spirituality, class, ability, and neurodiversity have a role in influencing such perceptions and how they can be reinterpreted.

I have been helping individuals and couples work through difficult issues in order to have a more fulfilling life for over fifteen years. Having been trained to work with people across the lifespan has enabled me to integrate an understanding of the origins, development and resolution of behavior and relationship patterns which are presently holding the client back from important accomplishments or feelings of well-being in their lives, even though these patterns may very well have historically originated out of a functional need.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
