I assist clients in developing insight into patterns within their behavior and relationships that are unsuccessful for them. Since these patterns are often shaped by the clients past, this is also something we explore. This awareness, combined with learning new ways of thinking and behaving, helps clients develop more effective and satisfying reactions, relationships and life choices. Believing in an individualized therapy approach, I develop a treatment plan unique to the needs and circumstances of each person. Within a supportive, accepting therapy relationship, the client gradually discovers their authentic self in a manner that helps to resolve their initial questions and concerns.

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.
