What We Can Work On in the Short Term

You may have a sense of the life you want, while also noticing areas where stress, anxiety, or uncertainty are getting in the way. Sometimes those challenges are clear; other times they emerge once you slow things down. Short-term therapy can help you clarify what’s going on, address what feels most pressing, and start making changes that feel realistic and grounded. Below are some of the ways I typically support clients in this focused, time-limited work.

12-Session Chapters

Many working professionals are navigating increased pressure as career opportunities become more limited and expectations rise. That strain often spills into relationships, family life, and overall well-being. I work in focused 12-session chapters designed to address what’s most pressing—emotionally and practically—so you can regain steadiness and direction without therapy feeling endless. At the end of each 12-week chapter, you’re free to renew for another cycle if it feels helpful. Sessions are available in person in Los Angeles or via telehealth for California residents.

Therapy for GBTQ+ Men

I also offer a specialized 12-session therapy track for gay, bi, queer, transmasculine, and other male or masc-presenting individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. This work provides a structured, affirming space to explore identity, relationships, and mental health within broader cultural and social contexts.

Common areas we explore include:

• Sexual orientation & identity

• Being out, closeted, or somewhere in between

• Self-acceptance & comfort in your own skin

• Queerness, culture, and masculinity

• Gender roles & stereotypes

• Experiences of heterosexism, homophobia, or homonegativity

• Relationships, intimacy, and sex

• Alcohol & other substance use

• Chosen Family & support systems

• Religion, spirituality, and meaning (or opting out of them)

• Coming Out across different stages of life

• Practical coping skills & tools

Assessment & Testing

I provide comprehensive psychological assessment and testing across a range of clinical, vocational, and forensic needs. These evaluations are designed to clarify concerns, support decision-making, and offer practical next steps.

Areas of assessment include:

• Dementia screening and cognitive evaluation

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Autism spectrum presentations

• Vocational fit & career guidance

• Behavioral threat & risk assessment

• Forensic evaluations for legal or occupational purposes

Each assessment includes:

• A clear, written report summarizing findings

• Diagnostic impressions when appropriate

• Referrals to relevant providers or services

• Individualized recommendations to support treatment, work performance, or daily functioning
