With extensive background in business management (MBA) my services are also unique to those who need to examine career options through personal growth.
My practice emphasizes on helping clients resolve immediate situations, while healing from difficult life experiences and developing strong personal and intimate relationships. I believe successful relationships are the key to having a healthy and rewarding life. The process of psychotherapy can strengthen one's sense of confidence, self-acceptance, and responsibility in daily life. It can also lead to a greater capacity for intimacy, to a more productive use of innate skills, and to experiencing more meaning and pleasure in life.

Are you feeling stuck, trapped, or at a loss for how to make the changes you would like? Whether it is a current troubling relationship, a distressing transition in your life, or a situation that you once thought you could "tolerate" but now feel as though is getting to be too much, over time and without help these painful situations can often lead us to putting ourselves down or harboring anger/resentment at others..which guess what...keeps us stuck! Learning the tools to have a happier and more fulfilling existence is possible...and this is where I can help.

My approach is a mixture of many different types of therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Mentalization Based Treatment, Centered Therapy, and Sex Therapy.
I work mainly with adults and late adolescents, individually, in couples and in groups. The areas I specialize in are sexual issues (individuals or couples), adults molested as children, emotional intimacy, communication, anxiety, depression, self-awareness, and deep and lasting character change. In my 45 years of practicing counseling and psychotherapy I've worked with a wide variety of people of different ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, religions, and those with physical challenges. I find it immensely rewarding to work with people who are actively seeking to resolve problems through increased self-awareness.

Is there something in your life you would like to be different? Have you tried to make changes only to find yourself in the same painful situations and doing the same things? Are you discouraged and don't know what to do? While making changes can be very difficult, the good news is you can live life differently! I teach individuals and couples tools so they can achieve their goals. With 11 years of experience as a police officer, I have a real-world understanding of issues people commonly face.

Is something missing or not right in your relationships, career or spiritual life? Is it keeping you from living fully in each moment? Are you now just reacting to life instead of creating life? If so it may comfort you to know that many people feel this way. Perhaps now you're at a crossroads and are ready to speak with a safe, experienced counselor. The good news is that there is hope when you reach out for help. The hope lies in the opportunity you give yourself to get better, and become more balanced and healthy.

I help individuals and couples improve the quality of their lives. I have been in private practice for over 30 years developing my craft. Sadly many people live far below their potential to experience love and happiness. The understanding that conditioning and unconscious training determine your perceptions and emotional reactions is the first step in the creation of new skills and emotional balance.
My approach is a unique combination of cognitive restructuring and emotional integration leading to an improved awareness of possibilities both individually and in relationship. The ability to love and be loved is fundamental to a good life.

How do you ask for help when you don't feel worthy? It's an all too common dilemma for a person attempting to work through an eating disorder. Do you feel that no matter what you do, that you're still "not enough"? Do you watch yourself go through your day in an attempt to "not make waves" so that you can please others and avoid being judged by them only to end up negatively judging yourself? Going it alone isn't easy. When life is hard, it's nice to have a friendly face to turn to. Here, you'll have a safe place to leave your guarded secrets and relieve yourself of that burden.

I provide individual, couples, and family therapy at my private practice on the Huntington Beach Hospital campus. Much of my work is with clients struggling with anxiety, dysphoria, or depression, or in their relationships with their ro mantic partners/spouses or their families-of-origin. I find strengths they've forgotten they have that can be used to defeat their problems. I use Narrative and Cognitive-Behavioral therapies and when working with couples I use Emotion Focused Therapy. Research has shown that 70-75% of couples who undergo EFT become closer and more intimate and 90% of them show significant improvements.

Therapy is a transformational process. If you are having a difficult time, you are going to need help navigating the struggles in your life. Two of the most common reasons that people come to therapy are they LACK BALANCE in their lives and have NOT BEEN HONEST with themselves. I can certainly empathize with clients who are anxious about or even fear change. Ambivalence regarding change is a common hu man struggle. However, if you are truly committed to eliminating your current distress, I would love to help in your journey toward a more fulfilling and rewarding life.

No one should have to suffer pain alone, and having the empathic support of a safe, objective, and caring professional can open your mind to important insights that are otherwise tough to come by. I strive to foster a collaborative therapy environment in which my patients have an outlet to express parts of their mind that they have not yet put to words. Expression of these inner thoughts and feelings can facilitate relief from stress that can otherwise manifest in painful psychological and physiological symptoms.

Each individual experiences life's journey in a personally unique manner while weaving the tapestry of lived experience into a meaningful and beautiful pattern reflecting their journey. As most of us have discovered, however, sometimes the actual experience can be fraught with anxiety, depression, anger, regret and disappointment. As a therapist, I use my education and life experience to help clients reconnect with their hopes, dreams, personal and professional goals using their undiscovered strengths and natural resilience. We will work together to find practical strategies to make life energizing, meaningful and rewarding again.
