My practice focuses on helping teens and young adults who are looking to gain and/or deepen insight, connect feelings to words, and enhance communication skills. While attending graduate school at the University of Southern California, I worked at Maple Counseling and at LGBTQ Orange County, where I provided affirmative therapy when working with LGBTQ+ clients and processed emotional, sexual, and physical abuse - identifying the pace unique to each client experiencing trauma.

I am particularly effective working with people who come to therapy with histories of childhood trauma, including emotional, sexual and/or physical abuse, and family neglect and/or abandonment. I have a strong commitment to helping men come to grips with the pains, conflicts and deficits in their work and relational lives. At the same time, I believe I can be particularly helpful to women, as a male therapist, in their work with these kinds of issues. I work primarily with individual adults. I have expertise working with a wide range of issues, including substance abuse/dependence, depression and anxiety.

I specialize in complex trauma, phobias/anxiety, and chronic illness for adults and teens.

I work well with artists and creative types, perfectionists, high achievers, those who identify as highly sensitive, and those who suffer from chronic illness.

My clients are resilient and working towards breaking the cycles of generational/intergenerational trauma by creating new paths, traditions, and coping strategies. They trust that working through and learning from past experiences develops confidence and healthy coping skills. My clients believe that well-being is grounded in self-awareness and connection to the body. They are motivated to build the skills that allow them to participate fully in healthy relationships.

There is strength in seeking support to build coping skills and resilience to thrive and enjoy life.

Seeking help in times of inner battles takes great courage. I respect and admire those who come to me for support, as you are the bravest types of people.

There is only healing, reparation, and reconciliation.
