I’m glad you’re here.

I'm Jake, a therapist working primarily with men, particularly gay and LGBTQ+ men, creatives, and high achievers who find themselves stuck in anxiety, overthinking, pushing through, or repeating patterns that no longer serve them. I offer individual therapy in West Hollywood and online throughout California.

I also work with couples who feel caught in the same arguments, struggle to understand each other, or miss the sense of closeness they once had. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we work to understand the patterns beneath the conflict and build a more secure, connected relationship.

You can't always think your way out of everything.

Maybe you've spent years trying to figure yourself out. You analyze your feelings, anticipate problems, hold yourself to high standards, and keep going even when you're exhausted. You might understand exactly why you do what you do, yet still find yourself doing it.

Therapy offers a space to slow down, get curious about what's beneath those patterns, and reconnect with parts of yourself that have gotten lost along the way. Together, we'll move beyond insight alone and work toward new ways of relating to yourself, navigating difficult feelings, and connecting with others.
