As a veteran with a background in the medical field, I bring a unique perspective to my work as a mental health therapist. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. I have additional training in Autism, ADHD, and Brainspotting, allowing me to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs. My approach is compassionate, strength-based, and collaborative, helping you build on your existing strengths while developing practical tools to navigate life's challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach draws on psychoanalytic thinking, which revolves on one central idea: much of what we think and feel remains outside of our awareness. Sometimes we keep powerful feelings hidden so we can continue moving through the day, or we simply cannot find time to reflect on everything that is happening to us. In any case, keeping these potent experiences hidden may leave us feeling stiff, dreary, unfulfilled, or even numb and dull.
I am a gay identified Clinical Psychologist who specializes in working with gay, bi-sexual, heterosexual, and men questioning their sexual orientation. With over 25 years of clinical and leadership experience, I work with men in all stages of their lives. Relationship issues, issues of coming out, sexual issues, and major stage of life changes and transitions are areas in which I do a lot of work with my patients. I also do a lot of work with students who are going into the field of psychology and psychiatry as part of their personal and professional development.
My background is very unique as I have been in organizational leadership as the CEO of many different clinically based organizations giving me a unique insight into professional and stage of life challenges, such as major career changes.
I am also the dad of adoptive children, one of which has significant special developmental challenges and needs.
All off my experience, both personally and professionally, combined with a rich family life filled with various pets, makes me the person I am today.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in California
Searching for therapists in California means choosing from a wide and varied mental health care landscape. Available therapists and areas of focus can differ across urban, suburban, and rural parts of the state, so it helps to start with what you want support for. You might look for a therapist with experience in anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. From there, review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy style, and background to see whether their training matches what you want from care.
Location and format also shape your search. In Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and other parts of California, you may find therapists who offer in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or both. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual appointments for schedule fit or access outside their immediate area. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. A therapist’s bio can help you understand what sessions may be like before you book.
The cost of therapy in California varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find California therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and may take your insurance. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
