Most people want to move toward health, peace, and wholeness in their lives. The problem is that difficult life experiences, big changes, depression, and anxiety can make that feel impossible. I believe our brains actually work toward healing when given the time and space to do so – that is where I come in.

The healing process begins with choosing a therapist with whom you are comfortable. You may be overwhelmed by trying to manage problems, conflicts, personal performance, or transitions in your life, and find that the support of family and friends is not sufficient. My approach as a therapist is to provide a safe, supportive, and confidential environment, and to partner with my clients to not only alleviate the presenting symptoms, but also their underlying causes.

An intention I carry in my work is to aid clients in healing their relationship with their bodies, whether because of experiences with childhood or complex trauma, from patterns of disordered eating, from being transgender or gender non-conforming, and/or living with chronic pain or chronic illness. All of these experiences can complicate our relationship with our body, but with a safe and supportive space like therapy, we can heal this relationship.

It's difficult to choose a therapist off of a list so I hope it will provide some confidence knowing that I have been in private practice in Orange County for almost 40 years. I specialize in relationship issues with couples and with various issues for individuals. I also work with teens and young adults. I have had great success with a specific journaling technique that I have developed and am confident that I can help you with whatever challenges you are currently experiencing. I know it's scary to start therapy, but I'm confident I can help you navigate this new experience in a way that will make you feel safe and comfortable.

Huntington Beach, CA 92647
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, 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.
