Who Comes to See Me
Gay men at any point in the story — newly out, out for decades, or somewhere in the middle.
Queer people working out identity, desire, and what living honestly actually looks like.
People in open, non-monogamous, and poly relationships.
People in kink communities, including content creators.
People who are at a crossroads and deciding where to head next —whether that’s in relationships, dealing with retirement or career change, or contending with loss and grief.
Who You’d Be Working With
I grew up in Southern California. I'm a gay man, and I'm part of the communities I work with. My husband and I first moved to San Francisco in 2007.
I went to Stanford for undergrad, graduating with a broad, multidisciplinary liberal arts degree in American Studies. I've had a lot of jobs and more than one career, which is part of why I understand change from the inside. I came to this work the long way around — retailers and dot-coms in the late nineties, then a decade in public service and a master's in public administration from USC in the early 2000s, and finally the pivot to therapy and a master's in counseling psychology from Golden Gate University in 2022.
These days I work with clients across California by telehealth. I work under the assumption that you are the expert on your own life. It’s my role to observe patterns, point out themes, and help you explore insights into your inner world. I pull from techniques in person-centered therapy, narrative therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. Many of the clients I work with might describe themselves as highly sensitive — feeling things deeply and processing in rich detail.
