THERAPY FOR MEN IN LOS ANGELES & ACROSS CALIFORNIA:
For men who want more from themselves & their relationships
You are not happy with the version of you showing up right now
Do you ever feel like you have to turn parts of yourself off to make your life work? There is a lot of confusion and loneliness when it feels like the person — or people — its most important for you to be close to also make you feel like you aren’t safe, you can’t be yourself, or you aren’t enough. Maybe you are dealing with conflict with your partner, painful outbursts at your kids or at work, or just feeling like you are on another planet from the man you used to be and things don’t feel right.
I’m here to help.
You know it isn’t supposed to feel this way; relationships, marriages, life isn’t working the way you always envisioned.
You know yourself to be capable of doing hard things — you didn’t become the man you are today by not being capable and working hard, but this moment you are in is demanding something else and you want someone in your corner to help you figure it out. I am here to help you unlock the clarity, wisdom, and power of what your feelings — aka your authentic self showing up as emotions — are trying to tell you.
Being a man in today’s society and culture can be confounding, stifling, contradictory…and feel impossible, especially for men trying to connect with ambitious, intelligent women who expect a lot from themselves and others. I can help you get organized and figure out ways to take action that feel authentic to you and emphasize accountability for both you and those you are close to.
Let’s tap into the power of the real man inside you
You may be here to work on— or save — your marriage or relationship, but getting grounded in our emotional power can unlock unimaginable change for your whole life. I know because that’s what I have seen and heard from my clients who have shown up and pursued long term change.
I will give you a space to discover, process and unload whatever you have been carrying around. You will know this is a secure place for you, where you can unclench and discover what you are really trying to say and how to say it to those most important to you. You can be the complicated, capable man you are while also taking action towards building a more evolved version of you the life you want to be living.
Listening to your heart doesn’t mean you have to lose your mind (sic); your ability to analyze situations isn’t going anywhere, it will just have the added dimension of greater emotional and relational IQ. Your colleagues might notice too—you may notice you will become more approachable, less reactive, yet somehow more decisive.
What would it be worth to you to spend less energy managing tension at home and have more left for things that actually matter?
This isn't about making you soft; it's like upgrading your operating system—same machine, just running a hell of a lot better.
Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy for Men in Relationships
-
I see men of all ages and relationships statuses. I focus on “men in relationships” because so many clients were men getting referred from couples therapy for individual work. I was seeing so much progress in these clients I decided to make this into a unique practice focus. As a man who married relatively late in life I know what its like to be single in my 30s, to date, be in and out of various longer term relationships, and also partner.
-
Not at all! I maintain an inclusive practice and see people of all genders and sexual orientations in relationships with people of all genders. I have developed a specialty in male identified clients and although many if not most of them are partnered with women, I am by no means exclusive to men, cis-men, or heterosexual men.
-
I treat depression, anxiety, grief, and all the standard issues people bring to therapy. By looking at the whole system of your life including your relationship(s) we can often find the cause— or the solutions — that can help us figure out what you need to start feeling better.
