I offer Christian counseling and help with spirituality issues too.
I have a big heart for helping people like you—teens, adults, and couples—who are facing some heavy stuff and just need someone who gets it. My goal is to help you make sense of the chaos, whether that means tackling trauma, getting through a rough patch, or even just figuring out what feels meaningful in life. Think of me as your supportive sidekick who has a toolkit full of ways to help you start feeling better and moving forward. I use different approaches like ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and even art therapy—because sometimes, words don’t cut it, and that’s where creativity comes in.

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.

Children are uniquely wonderful...and also complex and confusing! It’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times as a parent. You’re constantly trying to figure out why your child is behaving the way they are...and what on earth to do about it. What worked last week is definitely not working today. What worked for a friend hasn’t worked for you with your child. You’re absolutely devoted to your little one and want to help them...but you don’t know what to do or where to turn. You wish you could discover the secret to unravel this mystery. Will things always be this hard for you and the child you love so much?

Many struggles that we may encounter result in us experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and may even lead us to using substances to cope.

I'm here not to hand you the solutions, but to help you regain your strength to overcome such roadblocks to return to your journey called life.

Navigating life and its various challenges is nothing short of arduous. The demands that we encounter daily can seem burdensome and tedious; overwhelm us to the point where we feel like we are stuck or incapable of coping. In fact, managing our diverse roles and responsibilities let alone, our well-being becomes grueling. So, what do you do? Well, by seeking counseling you have already taken the first step. As your therapist, we will work together to address your concerns and formulate a plan of action. I believe in an eclectic, integrative approach in the therapies I employ.

Anxiety is a prison, it’s hard to escape the second guessing or the panic attacks. What would it feel like to have the confidence to believe that you have what it takes to tackle the ups and downs of life; to believe that your decisions are good and come from a healthy place? Wouldn’t it be freeing to stop that hamster on the treadmill in your head? What about your regrets? What do you wish you had done differently? Most of us would like to feel "good enough" but we often don't. I can help you on your journey to become whole, stronger and be a better version of yourself.
