Relationships can be challenging and complex. I offer individual and couples therapy from a relational context. The approach to individual therapy I use is unique in that I don't just treat you, the individual; I also focus on the relational dynamics at play in your home, workplace, and personal life that contribute to your mental health concerns and your emotional wellbeing. In couples therapy I focus on the relationship itself with benefits to the individuals involved ensuing rather than being pursued. Satisfying relationships are not just about meeting each others needs, but are about meeting the relational needs that exist between you.

There are times when we need to explore some growth & healing work. Thankfully the ability to grow & heal is built into our human-nature, a nature that comes alive when receiving the support we need. Therapy is for receiving this support, and in a way that fits with you. And so I trust in this: Creating in your own expressive way a better life is what I know you are able—and meant—to do. Supporting you in discovering this for yourself will be a heartfelt privilege for me.

Do you lack emotional connectedness with your loved ones or suffer from anxiety or depression that inhibits you from forming genuine relationships? You are not alone! Every individual at their core, values intimate, personal relationships with their significant others, family members, and friends. People often come to therapy because they struggle or experience unhappiness in their lives and are unaware of underlying symptoms such as depression, anxiety, shame, low self-esteem, low motivation, or emotional and psychological distress. I can help you address and move through those issues to create a purposeful and meaningful life.

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.

A quote that has always brought me courage, "Into the Great Perhaps," moves us to embrace the unknown. It's an invitation to dream and a challenge to have the courage to step into uncertainty. This concept deeply resonates with my therapeutic approach. I emphasize that embracing uncertainty is where growth and transformation occur. In therapy, we'll explore the uncharted territories of your thoughts, emotions, and relationships and view life's challenges as opportunities for personal growth.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.
