Navigating our own emotions, life experiences, responsibilities, and relationships with others, all at the same time, is an exhausting process! We live in a society where it's commonplace for us to prioritize our obligations over even our most basic needs, at times. So when it comes to fulfilling each other's needs for love, belonging, and connection- we may notice ourselves feeling out of sync and continually misunderstood instead. We are complex beings. Relationships are even more complex. Typically the best way to achieve clarity is by bringing in a new perspective.

In my work with families, couples and individuals, I have found that happiness lies in having rich, caring relationships with people that we love. To develop loving and caring relationships requires skill and compassion. My job is to offer insight and awareness as to ways to develop these kinds of relationships. I find that my clients demonstrate an openness, courageous spirit and perseverance to achieve this goal. I have been blessed to work with many people who have taught me what it is to be human. It has always been my desire to give back what I have received.

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.

Coming from a mixed background is incredible! But sometimes it can feel like you are not enough or you’re doing too much at the same. damn. time! No matter what you do, someone isn’t going to like it. It's as if all your different parts are kept separate and it's hard to feel like anyone can see or know the whole you. This feeling keeps you closed off from others - and yourself. You’re constantly regulating yourself and “acting right” but that shit is painful. You don’t ever feel fully free.

We all want to be happy, feel fulfilled, be at peace and enjoy our days free from chronic worry, painful memories, behaviors and relationships that interfere with peace in the present moment and beyond. Yet experience tells us that suffering is inevitable-it is a part of life. Healing is moving through and beyond suffering and limitation, transforming suffering into freedom and personal power. My practice focus is on strategies and practices to heal, transform and find meaning and purpose.
