San Diego trains men to carry weight without complaint.
San Diego is home to one of the largest concentrations of active-duty military and veterans in the country. It is also a city of high-achieving professionals, biotech executives, and entrepreneurs who have built careers on the same principle that the military instills: hold it together, keep moving, do not show the cost.
The military transition is one of the most disorienting passages a man can make. The identity that was built over years of service — the clarity of mission, the brotherhood, the sense of purpose that came with a role — is suddenly gone. What replaces it is rarely what anyone expected.
100% Virtual. Available to Any California Resident.
All sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You join from your home, your car between meetings, or anywhere private. There is no commute, no parking, and no gap in your calendar. Sessions are 50 minutes and scheduled around the demands of a demanding life.
I am licensed in California and work with men throughout the state — from San Diego and the Central Coast to Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and Sacramento. If you are a California resident, we can work together.
Areas of Focus
Military transition and identity. Executive burnout and identity. Trauma narrative integration. Relational disconnection. Midlife reckoning. Men's wound work — the seven archetypal wound patterns and the survival programs they generate.
Life Telling Processing
Life Telling Processing (LTP) is a contemplative-archetypal approach to men's therapy developed over twenty years of clinical practice. Rather than managing symptoms, LTP follows the story underneath the struggle. We gather the fragmented pieces of your narrative and arrange them into a mosaic — a picture that is whole, honest, and genuinely yours.
Questions About Virtual Therapy in San Diego
Do you offer virtual therapy for men in San Diego? Yes. I am licensed in California and offer virtual therapy to any man who currently resides in the state, including throughout San Diego County. All sessions are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant video.
Do you work with military veterans and active-duty service members? I work with men who are carrying the weight of military service — the identity transition out of the military, the wound of having been trained to hold everything together and never put it down, the relational cost of years of deployment and operational stress.
