(he/him)
I am a clinical psychologist and performance psychologist. I run men's groups and offer one-to-one sessions. I am also an author. On a personal level, I embrace community, fitness, fun, family, and adventure as part of keeping a healthy nervous system, and my why is to assist others in improving their health and quality of life through caring for themselves and their mental health in new and improved ways.
Connecting and relating to your goals and learning about why now and what led you to schedule the session. A time to answer any questions about myself as a therapist and therapeutic processes or goals.
Experienced, willing to take the risk and intervene on your behalf and stand for your worth, vision and the positive vision you have for your recovery. I have worked on Skid Row, in Max Security Prisons, with elite and high school athletes, so preparing for challenging experiences, learning to manage them, and learning how to adapt and grow through all of life's experiences shows a breadth of openness to where you come from and a willingness to meet clients where they are at. I have clients that have come and returned over 20 years, showing a willingness to set goals and move on, and a trusted alliance that you can return to when and if you need again.
High performing individuals or those undergoing high stress and looking to apply a growth mindset, apply tools, and who are receptive to interventions and taking a proactive approach to their mental health. A mindset of looking to expand their toolset and a willingness to get uncomfortable and a willingness to look at their concerns from a fluid changing perspective. I help those who carry stress and are looking for ways to learn and grow how to manage their stress in new and improved ways.
