I am passionate about providing quality, in-depth, and compassionate therapy for those wanting to understand themselves and their relationships on a deeper level, especially those feeling frustrated with relational and habitual patterns that no longer serve them. I strive to do this by collaboratively exploring your inner workings to uncover maladaptive beliefs, behaviors, or emotional responses that have developed as a result of painful past experiences that continue to shape your perception of yourself, others, and the world. I seek to understand all of the above in the context of your unique ecosystem of culture and upbringing.

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.

Children and adolescents may not know how to articulate what they want, why they are in counseling or what their goals are, but their behaviors/social/emotional state tells their story for them.
