I work with professional gay men in West Hollywood and virtually throughout California who want to understand themselves more fully. Many of the men I see are outwardly successful but carry shame, self-doubt, or an ongoing sense of being too much or not enough. This often plays out in relationships, dating patterns, people pleasing, or coping through work, sex, or substances. I work best with men who are open to honesty, self-reflection, and taking an active role in their growth. In our work, we make sense of patterns rather than judge them. I also specialize in religious trauma, particularly for gay men from religious backgrounds.

 

I'm author of the APA award-winning Raising LGBTQ Allies and write for Psychology Today. I help gay men live authentically and build fulfilling relationships. Therapy with me is collaborative—we'll explore how past experiences shaped you and help you live according to your values, not others' expectations. My second book, Becoming Worthy, comes out in 2027.
