My approach to working with clients is rooted in developing a rapport that will evolve throughout the therapeutic journey. I am passionate about mental health, but also approach treatment from a whole body perspective, where we can not only treat mental health, but spiritual and emotional health as well.

Have you ever had the thought that you can’t remember what it’s like to NOT feel anxious? Does your mind continuously operate on overdrive? Are you tired of the same repetitive thought patterns? Is life feeling like one endless chore with no light at the end of the tunnel? Have you ever told yourself you know you need to make a change, but you can't muster the will power to follow through? Do you feel stuck in your relationship patterns but don't know what or how to change? If you answered yes to any of the above, we might be a great match. I believe that great therapy involves using many lenses or frameworks in order to heal.

Are you ready to talk about it? I’m an experienced Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals, couples, teens (and their parents!) find the path to peace of mind. If you are not sure about therapy but sensing that something is in the way of you feeling ok, or maybe you know what the problem is but can't seem to find your way, I‘m ready with kindness, compassion and evidence-based practices to help you transform your life and relationships.

"Do you find yourself repeating the same old patterns in relationships and keep getting disappointed? Would you like to dramatically change your results? I have been facilitating transformation and growth in individuals and organizations for more than 20 years. I have a passion for helping people uncover what's blocking them in their growth or in relationships and implement effective strategies to bring about positive change. As a licensed MFT, I love working with adults from 18 to 80 who are trying to find solutions and answers to life's difficult questions and challenges and help them produce tangible results.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

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.

Has the pandemic negatively affected your mental health, relationships or addiction? If so, you are not alone and I’m here to help.

Are you feeling lost and alone in your struggles? There are times in life when we need guidance, education and support to navigate through difficult experiences. I recall the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child". I believe we need a village around us for a lifetime. Why go it alone when there are others to help? We are social beings after all. As a therapist, I use an eclectic approach pulling from various methods to best meet your individual needs. I also work closely with other practitioners as needed. My clients often find me to be relaxed, empathic and nurturing, often using humor as a healing element.

Welcome! I am passionate about my work and take great pride in the therapeutic relationships I have built overtime with my clients, which is why I believe in tailoring counseling to each individuals unique needs. Therapy is most effective when a trusting relationship exists between a counselor & the client. Some relationships hurt us while others are meant to heal. I believe that my job isn't to tell you what to do or how you live your life but to provide a safe, trusting environment where you express yourself & have an experience of being listened to without judgment & together we come up with creative solutions.
