In my work with clients, I focus on anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, difficulties with self-expression & OCD. I'm here to help you experience the healing and lasting change that you want. Many of us spend years and years suffering, experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and negative self-talk. Sadly, we will often navigate this suffering alone and without any company or support. As a result, we find ourselves stuck in patterns and cycles of pain, stress and emotional overwhelm. I work from a depth-oriented approach that helps individuals and couples overcome these painful patterns and cycles.
The work I do with my clients dives deep. I avoid staying on the surface because I don't think the long-lasting change that clients desire can be found there. Real change—the kind we all long for—takes time, effort and some struggle. And that's what makes it so rewarding. I rely mostly on psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches in my clinical work.
I'd love to explore meeting over a free consultation call. This will give us a good chance to learn and feel if we're a good fit for each other. I take the time to understand whether I can help you and if I don't think I can, I will provide you immediate referrals to connect you to someone who can. Feel free to text me to set up a consult: 949-274-9782.

Groups
Men's Process Group (Meet by Zoom)
Designed for men ages 30–50, this depth-oriented process group invites participants to move beneath the surface of everyday roles and responsibilities to explore the emotional and relational layers that shape their inner lives. Together, we’ll examine the complexities of providing, parenting, partnership, friendship, and career—not as problems to fix, but as doorways into greater self-understanding and authenticity. Rooted in a psychodynamic approach, the group emphasizes presence, reflection, and relational awareness. This is not a lecture or advice group, but a live process where men support and challenge one another toward deeper connection, insight, and growth.
