Therapy for Men in Midlife Transition
For men navigating career pressure, marriage strain, divorce, loneliness, or the unsettling sense that something isn’t working anymore.
Private, depth-oriented psychotherapy in Napa and the San Francisco Bay Area, CA.
WHEN SUCCESS STOPS WORKING
By your 40s, you’ve built a life.
A career. Perhaps a family. A reputation.
But internally, something has shifted.
You may be experiencing:
Persistent stress that no longer feels manageable
Emotional distance in your marriage
The fallout of separation or divorce
Career stagnation or loss of direction
Increased irritability, withdrawal, or exhaustion
A quiet sense that the life you built doesn’t fully fit anymore
Many men reach this phase and feel disoriented — not because they’ve failed, but because the structure that once worked no longer does.
Therapy can be a place to recalibrate before something breaks.
How I Work
Direct. Grounded. Depth-Oriented.
I work primarily with men who value responsibility and competence but want more than surface-level coping strategies.
Our work focuses on:
Understanding the internal patterns driving stress and conflict
Expanding emotional range without sacrificing strength
Clarifying identity beyond achievement
Navigating divorce and relationship transitions with intention
Rebuilding direction during periods of uncertainty
My approach integrates mindfulness, relational depth work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems-informed exploration. Sessions are structured, focused, and honest.
This is not endless venting.
It is disciplined self-examination with practical application.
For fathers and teenage boys…
Midlife transition often intersects with fatherhood.
I also work with adolescent boys navigating:
Academic pressure
Social anxiety
Anger or withdrawal
Identity formation
And with fathers who want to strengthen connection during difficult developmental stages.
Ketamine Asssisted Pyshcotherapy
For men who have done substantial work yet remain emotionally blocked or plateaued, I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as part of an integrated treatment plan with Journey Clinical.
This is a structured, clinically supervised intervention designed to deepen emotional access and accelerate insight when appropriate. It is not a standalone service, but part of ongoing depth-oriented therapy.
