Yes. My practice is focused exclusively on men’s mental health. I work with adult men and a limited number of male teens age 14 and older.

I specialize in therapy for men, including anxiety, depression, anger, stress, relationship difficulties, fatherhood, trauma, major life transitions, and the pressures that can come with responsibility, work, and providing for others. I also work extensively with first responders.

My office is in Chico, California. I provide in-person therapy for clients in Chico and the surrounding Northern California area.

Yes. I provide telehealth throughout California. You must be physically located in California at the time of your appointment.

My standard 50-minute therapy session is $275. I also offer 80-minute sessions and longer therapy intensives when more time would be useful.

My practice is primarily private pay. I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, so I recommend checking directly with your insurer.

Yes. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can briefly talk about what’s going on, what you're looking for, and whether working together seems like a good fit. There’s no obligation to schedule therapy afterward.

I’m direct, collaborative, and engaged. I’ll ask questions, tell you what I’m noticing, and challenge you when I think it would be useful. We’ll work to understand what’s actually happening, what keeps getting in the way, and what needs to change.

My work draws primarily from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existential therapy, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I use these approaches flexibly rather than expecting every client to fit one particular therapy model.

Yes. I work with first responders and other men who have experienced traumatic or overwhelming events. I’m trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which is one of the trauma-focused approaches I may use when appropriate.

No. I work with individual men, including men who are struggling in their marriages or relationships. We can work on your side of the relationship without pretending the entire relationship is your responsibility.

Therapy intensives are longer sessions designed for men who want more concentrated time to work on a particular issue. Depending on what you’re working on, intensives can range from several hours to multiple days. We’ll determine beforehand whether an intensive makes sense for you.
