Proverbs 11:14, 13:10 and 15:22 state that "A wise man seeks counsel... Consult with those you respect... Choose someone with experience, expertise, and spiritual maturity."

My ideal client is someone dealing with trauma. Additionally, I've seen great success with clients who experience excessive negativity, depression, anxiety, anger or lack fulfillment. I have excellent results with people who are looking for additional tools to find resolution and empowerment, and are willing to invest the time and energy to obtain their goals. I regularly assign homework and I notice clients who participate fully realize more rapid growth.

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.

Mind Matters: Empower, Transform, Evolve. The highest form of healing is empowerment! All people can heal themselves, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Unfortunately, most of us have not been taught how to get better or do better. It requires self-awareness, a willingness to reflect and struggle with ourselves, including un-learning, re-learning and re-wiring both, our brain and our behaviors. It also involves knowing and understanding some basic, but essential, aspects of human behavior and neuroscience. But change, growth, and transformation is possible. My goal is to support you in moving towards your best life ever!

Even just considering taking steps toward your own healing is a profound and radical act of care. Rarely are we encouraged to take time to tend to the parts of us that are hurting. Yet when we ignore or “push through” them, we find that they linger, and often grow. Maybe you’ve been wrestling with your mind, body, or emotions for years, and are wondering if there’s another way. Maybe something happened that is making you question your capacities, purpose, identity, or where to go next. Whatever brings you, your challenges and experiences are worth the care they are asking for, and so are you.

As an "elder", I understand the vulnerabilities and anxieties that can arise due to the aging process. As a former counselor for active duty military around the world, I have a deep appreciation for the issues and sacrifices that are made by military families. Both elders and military families deal with change, loss and grief more than the average person. Yet these are issues that we will all eventually have to face. Learning to more gracefully move through these transitions is an opportunity for deeper emotional, psychological and spiritual growth. These challenges can become the medicine for your spirit and soul.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
