Therapy for Gay men and Others Who Want to Live the “California Dream”

Looking for a therapist to walk with you as you navigate your life and relationships?  My  life journey has included a quest to ultimately land in the Golden State.   I’ve grown to appreciate the beauty of what California has to offer, from the mountains and forests of Northern California, to the beaches of the Southern part of the state, to the rich community of life in the desert of the Coachella Valley.  I’ve also learned much about the rewards and challenges of finding, affirming and celebrating my individuality and autonomy as a gay man in a diverse culture where developing a strong sense of self is crucial to surviving and thriving.  It can be a challenge to seek a deeper understanding and appreciation of who YOU are and what values you hold for yourself as you navigate your journey.  Whether you live along the coast, in the cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles, or San Diego, in the living desert of Palm Springs, or anywhere in between, I’m eager to support you in your quest.  As you seek to improve your relationship with yourself, others, or your relationship with your career, I’m here to listen and walk with you, in a firm belief that you have what it takes to make your life what you desire it to be.

My therapy practice operates remotely across California and I provide a warm, inclusive environment where your voice is paramount and your identity is honored and respected.  I tailor my approach to meet you where you are, whether you’re in need of affirming support, offering a challenge to inspire  you to seek a higher level of growth in your life, or anywhere in between.  I work with many different kinds of people from all walks of life, and am particularly interested in helping my clients with anxiety, depression, midlife issues, retirement challenges, grief and loss, relationship issues, life transitions, recovery from religious trauma, professional relationships, and family of origin issues.  I am particularly committed to helping gay men by providing quality, LGBT affirmative therapy to support them in attaining their goals and dreams for life.
