Are you struggling to meet the demand of a fast moving society; feeling overly stressed, anxious and fatigue? Do you feel depleted and find yourself doubting and overthinking the decisions you make? Sometimes it is easier to ignore, avoid or deny what we feel as part of finding immediate relief, including substances that take the edge off or help numb. If you are tired of cycling through the same emotional and behavioral patterns, then you are in the right place. I can help build the confidence and self-esteem to reclaim your most authentic self by understanding the nervous system and making sense of difficult life experiences.

I have a deep desire to assist those who are looking for assistance in facing their traumas, connecting with their significant others, and improving the system rather than just an individual. I find the most meaning in my treatment of couples, families, and those working through traumas.

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.

Online therapy is available to all of California without leaving your house! Don't miss out getting the help you need. We all want and need connection, but many of us struggle to find connection due to insecurities, negative experiences, anxiety, depression, and so on. Or maybe we've cut ourselves off from relationships altogether, vowing never to be hurt again. Unfortunately, even though we may feel safer, isolation often leaves us feeling terribly alone and dead inside. What can be done?

My focus is working with teens, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, electronics/gaming addiction, anger, trauma and loss. Often, teens, adolescents and adults who are suffering have difficulty communicating with others, which in-term affects relationships with parents, friends, partners, and other important individuals. Teens and adolescents are also prone to depression and anxiety at this developmental stage, causing low self-esteem, isolating themselves from friends/family, angry/violent outbursts and significant mood swings. This may be difficult to endure alone, and that's where I come in.

I believe that no matter how similar symptoms may be, each person can respond very differently and thus goals and plans should be catered to the individual's needs. I am most experienced working with children, teenagers, and adolescents to young adults ranging from ages 5-21+. I have experience working with Depression, Anxiety, Childhood behaviors, ADHD, communication issues, etc.

Becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist stemmed from my personal journey, sparked by my own struggles to understand my identity as a man and a father. At a crucial point in my life, I wrestled with profound questions about my identity and how to be the best father I could be. To find clarity, I began my own therapeutic journey, seeking the guidance of a compassionate therapist to address my challenges. It was during this transformative period that I realized my true calling: to support others in their journey towards hope, growth, and profound transformation.
