The method was developed to help people learn how to show up, be seen, and live braver lives.

4) Grief and Loss.
Relationships, work, and life, in general, can be tough. Being told, "it will get better" or "time will help", although well intended, doesn't help. Being able to connect with someone who listens, connects with you, is honest and direct about challenges in order to help you navigate through the process can help.

My strengths lie in building a therapeutic relationship grounded in clarity, compassion, and respect.
Men deserve specialized mental health support to address our unique challenges. I've built my clinical expertise in three broad areas: 1.) assisting clients work through unresolved trauma or unmet needs from early life, often with the use of EMDR; 2.) helping men recover from compulsive sex or porn use and other sexual problems; and 3.) assisting couples navigate through infidelity, mismatched desire, and other matters related to sex and intimacy. As a former creative professional in a high-stakes industry, I am uniquely familiar with the mental health challenges faced by artists and creators.

I am a psychodynamically-oriented therapist, which means I work to help you understand your history so we can discover how it is influencing the ways in which you currently operate in the world. Those experiences can lead to defense mechanisms that can make it more challenging to fully connect to feelings and emotions. As your therapist, our relationship in the room is integral to the work. It is while navigating those feelings where self-discovery, bringing the unconscious to the surface, and corrective emotional experiences, help you diminish your symptoms, find clarity, and become a fully-realized, authentic human being.

I believe that creating a safe, non-judgmental space is a necessary foundation for building a strong therapeutic relationship.
Have you experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, or negative self-worth? Have you become stuck in negative patterns of poor self-care, disordered eating, or interpersonal relationships that are draining or even abusive? I have dedicated my practice to helping others heal and break free from negative cycles of abuse - both within and outside oneself.

I am passionate about addressing the ways oppressive systems affect mental health and offering therapeutic support toward healing for Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) experiencing mental health distress in response to systemic oppression.

"Time does not heal all wounds; it just gives them space to sink into the subconscious, where they continue to impact your emotions and behavior. What heals is going inward, loving yourself, accepting yourself, listening to your needs, addressing your attachments and emotional history and following your intuition" (Yung Pueblo). I partner with my clients to help them find their voice, tell their story, re-engage their strengths and cultivate new ways to stay mindful and grounded—no matter what life throws at them. I work with couples and adults suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship challenges and LGBTQI-related issues.

You deserve to have the relationship you dream of.
Feeling so checked out in the relationship. Drowning in conflict. Detaching from your spouse. Feeling scared, lonely, and overwhelmed. Can your relationship ever be fixed? It’s just not working. What you want is clear and sounds so simple: you crave connection and intimacy. You want to feel loved, understood, and cherished. If family drama is also part of the picture, it can be particularly hard to know what to do to create peace. How can you possibly connect when your family “talks” turn into taking things personally, getting defensive, or just checking out entirely? You just want peace and connection.

What makes us seek therapy? Perhaps we are having a difficult time achieving personal or professional goals. Maybe the way we used to do things is no longer satisfying. Whatever brings you into therapy, through the foundation of a therapeutic relationship, you can be supported and encouraged to explore the direction and meaning of your life. It can empower you to gain new perspectives, acquire behavioral tools and insights to forge ahead and create a life you wish to live.

All too often struggles deplete our energy and leave us feeling down on ourselves. Through rigorous conversation and a highly supportive relationship, I help people gain the clarity and confidence needed to produce desired change. I have extensive training in postmodern therapies, which examine how dominant cultural discourses can have oppressive effects on our lives, identities, and relationships. Prior to working in private practice, I was part of UCLA's network, where I brought social justice aims to integrative models of mental health. I have many years of experience working with couples, families, youth, and adults.
