Psychoanalytic Therapists in Orange, CA

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.

If you are considering a change, want to resolve conflict, or heal the past, you have taken the first step. It can be difficult to finally reach out to someone. Sometimes our problems may manifest as conflict in our relationships and occupations. Managing changes in our lives may create stress and confusion. Loss and grieving may require more support than family and friends can provide. Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy can serve to give you the space to clarify issues and heal.

Welcome to my page! Above all, I am here to help you articulate, process, and ultimately navigate your current struggle(s) in a new and sophisticated manner that will empower you to find healing and a deeper sense of meaning in your life. Truly helpful therapy is uniquely tailored to each person and it is my aim to foster this approach with you.

Children, adolescents, adults and parents often find themselves stuck in a place where they need an outside source of support, stability and guidance. The many emotions that provide us with such joy, can also cause us pain and suffering. We are sometimes looking for the solid ground that a therapy process can provide. You may need a place to find your voice, find your strength and face your challenges in a way that feels less alone and isolating. Having a witness to our inner struggles and experiences can be remarkably helpful. As a clinician, my goal is to listen deeply and intently to your personal and subjective experience.

Life presents us many challenges. Sometimes, we become overwhelmed with how to navigate them. Whether you are a parent dealing with one of the myriad of issues you face with a child, a person struggling to find the joy you know life holds, feel you and your significant other have lost touch with the love that brought you together, or have suffered a life changing loss , there is hope. Albert Schweitzer stated "At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by the spark of another." Working collaboratively, I believe I can help ignite the spark inside you towards the changes that will bring you more joy and peace.

Growth is a lifelong process that leads to feelings of freedom and a new understanding of our inner selves, yet can be a painful and daunting pursuit. Even when we identify patterns that are problematic we can often get in our own way of change due to our fear of living past hurts and resentments. Healing comes from both new experiences that mend past injury and correct patterns which stem from childhood.

What makes it different from other relationships is that we keep the focus on you, and I have specialized training that enables me to foster the conditions necessary for change.

Exhausted by the way you think about yourself? We are often (if not always) our own worst enemies. Whether this has caused you problems with guilt, shame, anxiety, depression, addiction or you name it - the starting point is generally the same. When we embark on the project of therapy you will be asked to put your painful thoughts and feelings into words. As the process unfolds, the strength and fervor used to overthink and condemn yourself will become accessible to use productively in reaching your goals.

Do you find that your identity has been strongly defined by your athletic career? Are you dealing with an injury that’s keeping you from participating in the sport you love or competing at the level you once were at?

Do you miss your sport now that you have retired or no longer play at the same competitive level? As a retired collegiate athlete myself, I know that being an athlete shapes your identity in a profound way. I’m here to explore how athletics has shaped who you are, even amidst adversity and challenges.
