My practice thrives on variety and diversity! I seek clients whose lives need change for the better, and who are ready to activate a new member of their personal support system, regardless of their personal circumstances and the specific problems they face. My experience of working successfully with many hundreds of clients who feared their lives were out of control, and who were able to achieve better lives, makes me very confident and optimistic about the resiliency of the human spirit! My clinical and life experiences have helped teach me the value of community, and a strong and dynamic sense of self-worth.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and adult adhd. I take an integrative and strength-based approach to healing that attends to the mind, body, and spirit. I believe that humans are inherently resilient and what may have worked to help you cope in the past, may not be working for you in the present. This can show up through behaviors such as isolating from others, internalizing other people's behavior as your fault, scanning for threat, addictions, risk taking, over working, perfectionism, etc. I want to help you rediscover your strengths and deepen your sense of hope so you can lead a more vital, exuberant life.

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.

At the heart of my work, I strive to create empathic connections with the individuals I work with—creating spaces for them to explore and express all of themselves, and to feel seen, heard, and understood while doing so. I find that people often come to therapy to make negative feelings go away. While this can happen, I also understand the work of therapy as empowering yourself to be able to have and learn from your difficult feelings while feeling safe and connected to yourself and others. I work from a psychodynamic and an attachment-based perspective, while drawing from other approaches as necessary, such as interpersonal

Welcome! I know it isn't easy to find a therapist, so I'll get to the point: I strive to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental, and validating environment to explore challenges, get stuff off your chest, get to the root of the challenges, and cultivate willingness toward making meaningful changes in your life. Everything else that happens in therapy (tools, methods, modalities) starts from here, and my number one priority is creating a positive, safe relationship that supports your desire to change.

Getting married was the most amazing moment of your life, but having new in-laws has been a source of stress you've been silently worried about. It isn't that they aren't nice - it's just that you feel so pressured to be the "perfect" daughter-in-law. It's a never ending cycle of trying to plan the perfect outings, host the perfect dinners, engage in the perfect conversations. You worry that if you need a moment to yourself, your spouse will be hurt that you don't want to spend time with his family. You have a hard time saying no to them, even though it often results in you feeling a little resentful (and a whole lot of guilt!).
