Therapy for men in-person in Long Beach & Online across California + Nevada
Feel closer to the people you love & rediscover your passion for life.
People in your life have said you should consider talking to someone—and even you have to admit that things haven’t felt right lately.
You and your partner have felt disconnected for a while, and the lack of intimacy in your relationship often makes you feel rejected and resentful. Maybe your partner has given you an ultimatum, which has only added another layer of pressure to your daily life. It feels like you’re trapped between the demands of your relationship and the suffocating stress at work, and it’s hard to see any possible solutions.
Maybe you’ve lost interest in things that once brought you joy, and are feeling deeply dissatisfied with life overall. This has left you with little motivation and may be causing you to make choices you’re not proud of—like being unfaithful to your partner or lashing out.
You’re wracked with guilt after yet another angry outburst—it felt uncontrollable at the time, but each time you calm down you wish you’d never responded that way.
It’s a vicious cycle—you try to numb the anger and stress through drinking, using other substances, playing video games, or doomscrolling, but the relief is only temporary and the shame that follows makes it even harder to face yourself and your loved ones. You know your behavior has impacted those you care about, but don’t know how to change it, and you’re struggling to make sense of it all.
Feeling alone and unseen is incredibly isolating, but it seems like you can’t share your feelings with those around you because you were taught that “being a man” meant dealing with these things by yourself. Maybe you’ve looked for help in YouTube videos, books, or other resources, but you’re still searching for answers.
It’s okay to feel lost and overwhelmed—acknowledging these feelings is the first step toward finding a path forward. Know that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

My approach
Helping you build a stronger foundation for the future.
Therapy with me is a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Whatever you've been going through, I want you to know that you're not alone and you’re not “weak” for seeking therapy, despite what you might have been told by other people in your life.
We'll start by talking about what brings you in and what you're hoping to get out of our sessions. We'll work together to tailor our approach to what works best for you. If you need tools to deal with things currently disrupting your life, we can focus on those first and see how they work for you.
As you feel ready, we’ll delve deeper into how your past experiences might be influencing your current behaviors and reactions. We'll look at your relationships with family members and how cultural and societal influences might have shaped your expectations and beliefs. Throughout this journey, you’ll learn to feel your emotions fully while navigating life’s ups and downs. Together, we'll connect to hope and find new possibilities for positive change.
We’ll be a good fit if you want…
To improve the relationships in your life
To stop stressing and worrying so much
Things from the past to stop affecting you in the present
More control over your actions
Tools to deal with your feelings so they don’t disrupt your life
Regardless of what’s happened in the past, I believe you can grow into the man you want to be.
