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.

Sometimes life leaves us feeling stuck. When someone starts looking for a therapist, they’re almost always facing some type of challenge. You might be tired of feeling overwhelmed and living a life you didn’t picture for yourself; you may feel like you're losing hope. You want to feel a sense of peace and purpose. I collaboratively work with clients to tap into inner strengths and build the confidence to work through life adversities. Within this one lifetime it is never too late to find our own voice and become the author of our own story.

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.
