I hope to make you feel safe and never judged so you can say anything to help you move forward. I believe all clients have the strengths needed to reach their preferred outcome. So many of my clients start therapy with me because they think things like they aren't good enough, or feel inadequate, or feel responsible for everything. My sessions aim to help break down those negative beliefs and help clients start feeling like they're more than good enough, that they are strong, and that they can set appropriate boundaries.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

I offer an eclectic approach to therapy, meeting every unique client where they are. This means that we can work together in a more solution-focused way, taking a closer look at your concerns in the here and now or taking a deeper dive at how your concerns are informed by your personal history and family of origin. Either way, we will explore together the gaps between where you are today and where you would like to be so that you can be live a more authentic and satisfying life. I work with individuals, couples, and families with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and all types of relationship issues.

Are you going through something that has become overwhelming and difficult to handle? Are you afraid to share your thoughts and feelings with friends or family because you're worried about what they will say or think about you? Are you embarrassed that you can't handle it on your own? I am so sorry that you are struggling right now. You are not alone. Many people doubt themselves and the choices they've made. Having someone to talk to outside of your usual circles for an objective perspective is helpful and comforting.

My clients are often high-achievers - the “good” person/student, the one who is always there for others, who is always “fine” and doesn’t seem to have any problems - but that’s not how they feel. On the inside, they are hurting deeply. They push down their own feelings and needs resulting in things like numbness, anxiety, depression, and being self-silenced. They may even develop addictive or self-destructive behaviors to try to feel a sense of control. They find putting words to emotions and communicating feelings and needs to others can be difficult or even seem impossible.

I believe that everyone has an innate desire to heal, whose potential can be unlocked with the right conditions of safety and non-judgmental support. If we can slow down enough to notice what needs our attention, each of us can heal ourselves. I view therapy as a weekly, collaborative ritual in which clients can reconnect with their intuitive abilities and reach their highest potentials. Integrating tools from mindfulness-based practices, somatic experiencing, and trauma-informed psychotherapy. I offer a holistic approach in which we function collectively to uncover your inherent wisdom and reclaim total authenticity.

It is time to actually make those changes you have been really wanting. You know your past is holding you back, you just aren't sure what to do about it. The pain from the past, the old family issues, the failed relationships - they are dragging you down. Sure you have supportive friends, but at this point, even they aren't sure what to say. If simply talking about it was helpful, you would be on your way by now. The next step, toward actual change, is to do something - and that is where therapy can help. Let's figure out why and how you are stuck so you can make changes.
