If you've landed here, something is probably weighing on you - and here you are reading a stranger's website, trying to guess from a page whether he's someone you could actually talk to, who might get you, or actually is able to help you.
It takes courage to ask for help, so even without knowing you, well done.
Can you talk to me? Yeah, of course! I've got a link above in the menu section and below towards the bottom of the page to set something up.
Am I a match for you? I can't answer that question here. But I can tell you that I offer a free 15-20 minute consult with you so you can get my vibe, see if I'm a match for you. On the flip side, I get to see if I can help you.
What I need you to know about me is that I'm a dork. I ask questions (I'm curious). I'm not your Mm Hmm therapist. I'll actually have a real conversation with you. I'll listen. I'll ask questions.
From what my clients tell me is that I confront 'the perfect amount', and they like how I use humor to help balance some pretty deep conversations that we have.
The human issues. Yours are welcome here.
A word most people haven't met. Echoism is the fear of taking up space - reflexively tuned to everyone else's needs while your own go quiet. Apologizing for existing. Codependency's quieter cousin. (Named for Echo, who could only repeat the words of others.) You have a right to take up space.
Did you know that Anger means "sorrow" and "pain"? (Old Norse angr - "affliction, sorrow.") Its cousins: Danish and Swedish anger ("regret"), Latin ango ("squeeze, choke, vex"), Greek ankho ("I strangle"), Sanskrit amhu ("anxiety, distress"). Anger has always carried pain inside it. Los Angeles County anger management provider - court and workplace referrals welcome; completion documentation provided.
Spiraling thoughts, can't keep your head straight, and maybe it's even paralyzing to the point of complete indecision.
Not wanting to get out of bed? Haven't showered in a couple of days, but you keep that smile on? Noticed yourself getting a little more pissy/angry at the little things? (What if it's not anger?)
Individuals and Couples. Talking past each other? Do they even SEE you anymore? Do they HEAR you? We look at what's YOUR side of the street; they can look at what's their side. All couples welcome - all of them.
Masculinity. Being a Man. What the fuck does that mean today?
Sometimes I have women who talk with me about some horrible things that have happened to them. Some come to see me because they know that, as a man, I'll actually listen to you. (The goal is to more deeply hear you, though.)
All sessions are held online, via secure video - serving clients throughout California.
