Specialties

A safe, affirming space for gay and bisexual men to address mental health needs, explore identity, navigate social pressures, and manage relationships. We focus on professional growth and building resilience through evidence-based clinical techniques.

For those exploring their sexuality, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental environment to navigate your unique journey with professional guidance. The mainstream world was not designed with gay men in mind, making it a lonely or difficult place, particularly within certain cultures or religious backgrounds. I understand these nuances deeply, and together we can explore a path tailored to your personal experience, helping you find clarity and confidence along the way to fulfillment.

Clinical Philosophy & Approach

I provide specialized psychotherapy for gay men, bisexual men, and those questioning their sexuality. My practice is dedicated to the unique mental health needs and challenges facing our community. Clinical psychotherapy with me is a side-by-side journey where we seek to understand the circumstances that bring you to therapy, acknowledge the context of your history, and most importantly, look toward the future to pave a path to the life you envision for yourself.

I have built this practice on over 30 years of leadership and clinical experience. I bring that knowledge and compassion to each patient I serve. I also collaborate with a network of trusted psychiatrists and general practitioners should you require integrated medical care. This is a holistic journey toward physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

When appropriate, I integrate professional mentoring and coaching, recognizing that many of us have lacked gay role models in our careers. Having navigated professional environments as a gay-identified adoptive father since the early 1990s, I bring that wealth of lived experience and history to our work together.

I am a gay-identified Licensed Psychologist serving clients throughout California. I have embraced telehealth because it makes quality care accessible to those who might not live near a specialized therapist or have the time to commute. To deepen our therapeutic connection, I strive to travel the state once or twice a year to meet my patients in person, securing local office space for face-to-face sessions. While not always possible, I make every effort to facilitate these personal connections within our professional relationship.

Insurance and Payment Policies

I believe that gay men should be able to use their medical insurance for mental health care whenever possible. I have dedicated significant time to credentialing with over 10 different insurers to make this accessible. I also offer a private pay option with a sliding fee scale when appropriate, ensuring that financial logistics do not become a barrier to receiving the support you deserve.
