I believe inside all of us there is an unharmable part that is our true-self.

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 feel passionate and confident that I can help those that are looking to make a change and become a better version of themselves. My expertise in culturally diverse clients, conflict management as well as marital and partner issues can help those struggling with communication, self regulation and environmental stress. We can work together to help uncover what keeps you stuck and move you towards a happier and healthier life.

I passionately believe in the power of therapy to serve as a catalyst for people to build insight, to build sense of self, and to empower themselves in their lives. I believe that healing happens in the context of supportive relationships, and therapy provides an opportunity for this. It is within the context of a safe therapy space that people can face and respond to the difficult and challenging issues that have resulted in distress. I offer a nonjudgmental, supportive counseling environment and encourage people to treat themselves with empathy and kindness.
