I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California with 20 years of experience working with male (bith cis and transgender) adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma and have a particular passion for helping clients who are navigating major life changes, managing stress at work, snd rebuilding after loss . I believe everyone deserves a space to be heard, and I'm here to be that steady, supportive presence for you.
My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) / Person-Centered therapy / mindfulness-based approaches, and I tailor each session to what you actually need rather than following a rigid script. I tend to be warm and collaborative / direct and solution-focused / curious and exploratory in how I show up with clients. My goal is to help you build real insight and practical tools — not just talk about problems, but move through them.
Our first session is really a chance to get to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you in, what's been weighing on you, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy — but I keep it conversational, not clinical. By the end, we'll have a clearer picture of where you are and what direction makes sense for us to work toward together. Most clients tell me they leave feeling heard and welcome — and that's exactly the goal.
