Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in University Town Center, Irvine, CA

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.

At times it is difficult to reach out and seek help. Consider how you are feeling right now... and take a step forward toward a healthier future. Both misery and joy love company, which one will you choose? My style may be considered straight talk, honest and to the point. So, call me and let's set a course for something different, something better.

This may not be an easy time in your life and I respect your courage to reach out for help. Hiding fear of failure or family pressure to be perfect and make it look effortless is a daily struggle. I know you can be overwhelmed. Frustrated and angry. I have lived it and have decades of experience. After facing the pressure from parents, peers, or yourself, you need a place to sort out who you are and how you fit into these pieces. You may be looking for a safe place to work through your challenges, such as when you are experiencing anxiety or depression, or even a unique cultural experience that you feel nobody understands.

As a psychologist and psychoanalyst I believe most of us can benefit from psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. As treatment modalities psychotherapy and psychoanalysis relieve symptoms on the one hand, facilitate emotional growth and development on the other. Therapist and patient work together to uncover the roots of emotional disturbances by exploring the present and past experiences. I provide individual, couple and family therapy to adults and children through consultation, crisis intervention, short-term and long-term psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. The therapeutic sessions are conducted in the privacy of my offices for a person to explore issues concerning him or her.

Feeling pain, or feeling lonely and sad? Or maybe you feel emptiness. A huge hole of emptiness and you have no idea how to fill it. Life can be hard. Even when we do our very best, sometimes it just doesn't feel like it's enough. We can have feelings of pain, sadness, anxiety and other hard feelings we try to ignore and push away. Maybe you best is never good enough and you're tired of trying. Feelings of abandonment, emotional neglect, failure, bullying and traumas can stay with us throughout our lives until we seek out healing. We can embark on this journey healing together. I'm here to help.
