Specialties
As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor in California, I blend cutting-edge attachment research with somatic awareness to help couples and individuals create deeper, more authentic connections to themselves and the people they care about. My research on smartphone attachment and its impact on relationships brings a unique perspective to my practice, particularly in understanding how digital behaviors affect our capacity for intimacy and secure attachment.
For the past 15 years, I've taught and practiced yoga and meditation, which profoundly shapes my therapeutic approach. I integrate somatic awareness and mindfulness practices into our sessions, helping you develop a stronger connection to your body's wisdom and emotional landscape. This embodied approach to therapy is particularly powerful for processing trauma, reducing anxiety, and building authentic relationships.
My work extends beyond private practice – as a faculty member at the Esalen Institute, where I lead transformational digital liberation workshops that focus on building a stronger, more confident sense of self through attachment healing.This work, combined with my clinical training in depth psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, allows me to help clients understand how their relationship with technology affects their capacity for human connection and emotional regulation.
As the author of Trust Your Truth and host of the SoulFeed podcast, I engage with thought leaders like Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson in conversations about healing, authenticity, and personal transformation. My research and expertise have been recognized internationally, including speaking engagements at the United Nations and collaborations with global organizations focused on social impact.
I specialize in attachment-based therapy for couples and individuals, with particular expertise in serving gay and trans men in the LGBTQIA+ community—as well as women seeking to heal relational wound with men. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, processing trauma, or seeking to break free from digital dependency patterns, I create a safe, affirming space for exploration and growth.
I currently have openings for individual and couples therapy sessions, offering secure video sessions online. My rate reflects my specialized training and research-based approach to attachment therapy, somatic integration, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care.
