Whether it’s your first time considering therapy or you're a seasoned therapy-goer hoping to find someone new, it’s important to find a good match between you and your therapist. Whether you’re feeling sad and in pain, experiencing anxiety, having relationship problems, grieving a loved one, stuck in self-defeating patterns, questioning your future, or have a nagging sense of shame—speaking vulnerably with another person requires trust that builds over time. We are all deserving of living more fully, authentically, and with greater ease; making that first call for help is an essential step toward finding the right therapist for you.

Always accepting new patients. I have over 40 years of experience treating individuals, couples & groups. As a painter and psychoanalyst, I am especially interested in helping people deal with difficulties in their creative work and in their relationships. I have written, presented, and published psychoanalytic papers on relationships and the creative process. My latest paper, "Victims of Envy," was published in the Psychoanalytic Review in June 2019 and my book on creativity, Chaos & Control, was published by Routledge in 2018.

My usual clients are young adults, under 45 years age,(I do see children and elders), experiencing mood disorders such as depression, or anxiety. Substance abuse issues are frequently involved, or alcohol abuse. There are always relationship issues with others involved as well. The Goals of Therapy include feeling happier, calmer, more at peace, to reducing substance abuse and alcohol abuse. They want to learn how to improve their relationships with themselves and others.

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 work from a psychoanalytic perspective with children, adolescents, and adults struggling from a variety of issues, including difficulty with intimacy and relatedness, recognizing and expressing emotional needs, feelings of loneliness or emptiness, self-destructive or self sabotaging behaviors, or repeating painful life problems with little sense of control. Since children and adolescents have not yet fully developed the capacity to talk about their emotional experience, difficulties tend to show in their behaviors, such as opposition, defiance, poor grades, or turning to drugs. In my work with adults I offer individual or couples therapy in a safe and nonjudgemental atmosphere.
