In a world of 7.7 billion people, we somehow, at some point, find ourselves feeling overwhelmingly alone. These feelings of loneliness can come for a variety of reasons. Not being able to let go of the past, a fear of the future-- anticipating the worst. Not feeling good enough, smart enough, attractive enough. Holding on to a part of yourself that brings you feelings of guilt and shame. Wanting to feel like you can breathe and let go. Searching for peace. The goal of feeling confident in your ability to handle life's struggles. All of this is normal. All of this is attainable. All of this is within you.

Welcome to my practice. I have about 15 years of clinical experience and have been featured on NBC/KCAL/HLN 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.

Learning to know one self is a difficult goal to achieve. People often choose to hide their true selves behind a façade, thinking “they” are invisible, protected from being exposed.

Learning to put the façade down requires the courage to identify and honestly disclose ones feelings, this creates a trusting sense of self and an openness with others. My approach is to support clients towards becoming their authentic selves
