Remember when things felt easy in your relationship? Connection felt natural. The stress of the world didn't weigh you down. You felt like a team. Something happened that shifted your relationship. Maybe life just got harder, maybe betrayal happened, maybe you've been learning more about yourself and what you need from a partner. I believe that when we better understand ourselves (our needs, our desires) and let our authentic self show up to our relationship, we can find fulfillment and safety, but sometimes the blocks to communicating and understanding need some professional support to build. Let me be your translator and bridge.

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, broken relationships, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, financial recklessness, and gambling. 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.

Looking for a therapist can come with so many worries and hesitations on its own, and it isn't always supported by others. I hope that you get to experience the worthwhile experience of being in therapy, so that you may focus on your individual needs that allow you to become the person you are capable of being amidst your community. If you are hoping to better understand yourself or grow in or from a certain situation or emotion, together we can work to see what would best benefit your presence and connection with others.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, and relationship difficulties. They find themselves stuck in unwanted patterns of people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, perfectionism, decision paralysis, and/or emotional reactivity that leave them struggling to feel at ease with themselves and to connect with others.

Life transitions often bring uncertainty, and with change can come feelings of fear, sadness, grief, and stress. The transition into parenthood is no exception. You may be struggling to manage the demands of parenting, feeling as though you’ve lost parts of yourself, or finding it difficult to prioritize your own needs without guilt. If this resonates, you are not alone. While transitions can be challenging, moments of uncertainty and discomfort can also create space for growth, deeper connection, and resilience. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate significant life transitions, including the journey into parenthood.

Has your teen been struggling with anxiety, low motivation, or withdrawing from family and school? You notice mood swings, tension, and frustration, and asking “How was school today?” often gets you a short, “Good,” “It was fine,” or “Everything sucks.” These days, teens face more pressure than ever, which can lead to stress, self-doubt, and pulling away from loved ones. With the right support, they can regain confidence, motivation, and momentum.
