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.

You’re the one everyone relies on. You handle things. You keep it together. But lately you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly wondering how long you can keep carrying it all.
I help thoughtful, high-functioning adults who feel stuck in burnout, relationship stress, or major life transitions find clarity, boundaries, and relief. I also help clients work on accepting all parts of themselves as I believe self growth is rooted in self compassion and acceptance rather than fixing. Clients often describe therapy with me as supportive, structured, and practical, helping them gain clarity, confidence, and skills they can use.

As a Mental Health Therapist, I embarked on my journey of self-development in 2014, catalyzed by a life-altering panic attack during a traumatic event. Initially feeling isolated in my struggles, I sought help and immersed myself in various modalities aimed at nurturing my soul back to health. Through years of introspection and growth, I came to appreciate the profound significance of therapy as a safe haven, cultivating self-awareness, and harnessing the transformative potential of cognitive techniques. That's when I made the choice to transition from my role as an engineer to become a therapist.
