Many of us would like to be more satisfied with our lives. We seemingly seek therapy because we may need some support in finding a new way to become happier and at peace. My job is to collaborate with you so we can draw from your inner strength and wisdom to find solutions. You may let go of some old ways of thinking and feeling that no longer serve you and instead adopt new positive beliefs. There will be increased clarity and joy in your life. Specialties: feeling stuck, anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, loss, couples issues, financial, and just not feeling like you want to.

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.

Do you feel stuck, unmotivated, anxious, or depressed? My training and experience have helped me understand these concerns as invitations to discovering the meaning, purpose, and transformation of the problem if we are willing to engage with it. My practice is focused on understanding: the importance of "standing" under the weight of the problem (tension or trauma), to determine what it means. I have undergone many years of my own therapy with a Jungian Analyst before your first meeting with me; knowing this may provide some confidence about my lived experience and commitment to helping you from a depth perspective.

I work best with clients who are open to understanding the issues which contribute to their struggles. Sometimes these are transitional situations, like a relationship break-up, loss of a job, or moving out on ones own. Other times these issues are related to underlying trauma or chronic life situations which contribute to ongoing suffering and pain. Being insightful and curious about oneself often leads to healing—of depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relational and intimacy issues. My goal is to provide a therapeutic relationship which helps hold fears, sadness, and anger as we progress along the journey together.

I work with a variety of clients who all have one thing in common; the need to make sense of and overcome longstanding or deeply entrenched relationship or personal challenges. People like you, who grow tired of asking "When does life get better, and when do things change?" My answer may surprise you...it doesn't, and they don't. But that's our reason for hope; we don't have to rely on fuzzy concepts like "life" and "things", when we can engage in a powerful therapeutic process of authentic connection, restoration of hope, psychoeducation, evidence-based treatments, and helping you balance radical acceptance with skillful change.

I work with people who worry part of them is broken. Nothing you do or accomplish seems to fix the sense that something is wrong or missing. You’ve tried meds, self-help, or even psychedelics, and you’re wondering if maybe you’re just incapable of really being present and enjoying your life. Maybe your mind is full of regrets, missed opportunities, and comparisons to others. You know there’s more to life, but you just can’t figure out how to tap into it. You sense that if you don’t look at all this, your relationships will suffer and life will pass you by.

Hi, it's Joseph. Let’s talk. We’ll work together until that unsolvable problem is history, until that overwhelming pain is bearable, until the impossible future is simply your future. You’ve always been strong, resourceful, and intuitive. I’m just going to help clear away the junk you’re trapped beneath so you can actually feel that way: false beliefs that make life seem harder than it really is; old stories about yourself that have nothing to do with who you are now; distractions that keep you from deciding what is most meaningful to you; power imbalances that take away good things that are rightfully yours. This stuff has to go.

My therapeutic approach has been mainly trauma-focused. I have experience working with severe symptoms in clinical and group settings, I have experience leading both PHP and IOP groups for adolescents and adults in which we followed an evidence-based program. The program included meditation, art therapy, drum therapy, and yoga in addition to group therapy. I often use principles of Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT), especially the focus on distress tolerance to help with teaching patients and clients skills to manage stress in intense situations.

I use an eclectic approach from evidence-based techniques to support you compassionately and authentically. I support individuals to engage with life from a more centered, integrated, and fulfilled place. It can be uncomfortable, confusing, and overwhelming to look at many complex parts of ourselves alone. Unexamined, these parts can show up in our lives in different forms such as addictions, anxiety, depression, lack of self-esteem, codependency, stress, and dissatisfaction.

A bit about me, I am passionate about helping teenagers, young adults, and adults who are looking to learn, process, reduce, navigate, and manage the following struggles/issues: stress and anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and self-harm, healthy relationships, low self-esteem, anger, loss of a loved one, difficult life transitions, and communication. I also have an intimate knowledge of the LDS faith/culture and can provide support and help to navigate faith crises while remaining in the faith and/or transitioning down a new spiritual path.

My clients are individuals who often carry with them unresolved feelings from either their past or present challenges. Viewing those issues from an objective and trusted practitioner is vital to the change process. Always viewing my clients with unconditional positive regard is essential to us being successful. Therapy can often be the first time someone gets to step out of the day to day of their lives. My hope is during this introspection, I can coach you in the direction you need to go, not where my training thinks you should go. While I may illuminate potential paths, you're taking the steps with me right behind you!

School curriculum doesn't teach us how to be happy or to cope with life's stressors. Often times people turn to unhealthy coping skills, or fall into the same old pattern. One of the bravest things you can do is to admit you don't have all the answers, and ask for help. You don't have to settle for a mundane life filled with anxiety, frustration, and sadness. When you could be growing and thriving. If you are reading this than chances are you or a loved one are ready to make a change.
