Individual Psychotherapy for Men

Offering therapy for men in Orange County & across California.

Helping men transcend anxiety in all its forms — so they can feel more grounded, confident, and alive.

Some days, it feels like everything is too much.

Maybe you're caught in constant worry that keeps your mind and body on overdrive, draining the energy you have left. The things you used to enjoy start to feel like chores.

Self-doubt may show up as harsh self-criticism, over-cautiousness, perfectionism, or a fear of failure.

Relationships can feel strained too — tempting you to over-appease others for their approval, wear a mask to avoid rejection, or pull away from connection altogether.

Does any of this feel familiar?

  • Therapy helps you understand the patterns driving your relationships and how to change them in real time.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Communicate more clearly without overthinking every interaction

    • Recognize what you’re feeling and respond more effectively

    • Navigate dating and relationships with more confidence and less second-guessing

    • Break patterns that keep you stuck

  • Therapy helps you navigate life with a sense of ease, take things a little less seriously, and have more fun.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Step out of constant overthinking

    • Respond to stress without defaulting to more control

    • Build a sense of calm that isn’t dependent on performance

    • Savor life’s joys without losing self-discipline.

    • Stay driven without burning yourself out.

  • Therapy helps you step out of autopilot, gain clarity about your mission, and reconnect to what actually matters to you.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Slow down enough to evaluate your direction intentionally

    • Separate external expectations from your own values

    • Make decisions with more clarity and less inner conflict

    • Build a life that feels aligned, not just productive

  • Therapy helps you slow down and develop the ability to recognize, understand, and channel your emotions, not just your thoughts

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Recognize what you’re feeling in real time

    • Respond instead of react or suppress

    • Get out of your head and become more present

    • Express yourself more clearly without being overwhelmed

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

Many men reach a point where the same traits that helped them succeed — discipline, problem-solving, pushing through — stop working when it comes to their inner world. You can't think your way out of everything.

Life doesn't have to feel so overwhelming.

You don't need all the answers right now. Therapy offers a place to slow down — to make sense of what's happening beneath the surface, find new ways of seeing old problems, and develop steadier responses to stress.

This isn't about quick fixes or cookie-cutter advice. It's about finding what actually works for you, and exploring your inner world with curiosity, non-judgment, and a little inspiration. With a clear plan grounded in proven principles and a personalized approach, you can reconnect with your natural, confident self — and enjoy life again.

  • My rate is $175 per 50 minute session.

  • My practice is private pay and does not participate in insurance networks. This means payment is due at the time of service. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be able to receive reimbursement by submitting session receipts to your insurer. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend checking directly with your provider. I am happy to provide the necessary documentation.

  • I typically do not offer sliding scale fees. In limited circumstances, reduced fees may be considered based on availability and individual need. Please feel free to inquire if you believe this may apply to your situation.

  • I kindly ask that clients give me 24 hour notice when cancelling a session, otherwise you will be charged the full fee for the session.

  • The first session is an intake session where I get a sense of what’s bringing you in, what your goals are, what you think is important to tell me about yourself, and any other relevant information.Item description


  • I don’t believe that anyone can give a concrete answer to this question since it depends on each client’s presenting issues, goals, and therapy progress. Therapy is generally available to my clients for as long as we both see fit. Some clients may prefer short-term therapy while others may prefer long-term therapy. There is no one-size-fits-all.

  • I am legally and ethically obligated to keep your records, your attendance in therapy, and the content of our sessions fully confidential. It’s important to me that therapy is a space where you feel safe sharing personal information, and I will never share any of the content of our sessions without your permission.

    There are a few exceptions to confidentiality, such as:

    • If I am legally required to break confidentiality due to potential harm (e.g., if you are a certain and immediate threat to yourself or another person, or if you report abuse involving a vulnerable population like children, the elderly, or those with intellectual disabilities)

    • If you give me written permission to consult with another provider to coordinate care (a doctor, psychiatrist, etc.)

    • If your records are subpoenaed during legal proceedings
