I believe therapy is a journey we embark on together, where I can provide support and guidance as you explore those parts of yourself that previously felt too dark or broken to reveal. My goal is for the therapy room to be sacred space where you feel valued and heard; and most importantly, where you feel safe.

I believe that life ebbs and flows with the changes of life's demands. Many of these changes are positive ones, but at times hardships can follow, needing assistance and guidance in finding solutions. This is where the therapeutic process can help in alleviating your symptoms, bringing about new energy and happiness in enjoying life's many adventures. My enjoyment in the therapeutic process is one of discovery and collaboration in identifying difficulties and solutions to the patient's problems. Above all, I believe the relationship between the patient and therapist is the cornerstone to achieving the patient's goals.

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.

Life often feels lonely in the face of intense emotional and traumatic experiences. However, I believe that we all have the ability and resources to transform and live our authentic lives, and this transformative process occurs naturally in our relationships. In my practice, I utilize a collaborative and attachment-based approach to therapy. I believe in co-creating a therapeutic relationship where you feel empowered to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe and supportive space. By fostering a strong therapeutic alliance, we can work together to uncover patterns, cultivate resilience, and foster growth.

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.

In my work, I listen to what the client speaks verbally and through his or her body. I pay special attention to client's unspoken words. Through empathic attunement with the client, I become aware of what he or she is experiencing in the therapeutic process, as well as in his or her past. I am also impacted by client's painful experiences and resonate with his or her feeling states. Through becoming a witness to client's painful past, the client can become free of his or her earlier experiences and can feel joy and pleasure of living, being alive, loving, and being loved.

You've realized your relationship isn't getting better, it's getting worse. Just when you think things are more peaceful, a difficult topic comes up, and the conversation devolves into another argument. You can't talk about anything important, important to you at least. When you do try to talk again, one of you feels defensive with strong emotions, the other of you feels disrespected or picked on. How do you communicate if you can't get past the start of a conversation? Your partner feels too fragile, so you just shut down to protect yourself and your partner from difficult emotions.

Hi there, I'm Blake, a licensed clinical social worker. I've helped people with many issues like anxiety, depression, personality disorders, grief, divorce, severe mental diagnoses, and many more. I am trained in many different therapies and tailor a plan to each patient, rather than tailoring a patient to a plan. In my view, people used to mostly lived in close-knit communities, which has eroded with the advances in transportation and technology. Most people have lost the social support our forebearers had. Mental Health Professionals have taken on this role and are an excellent resource to improve your well-being.
