Behind the masks and the effort to hold it all together, there’s often a quiet longing to feel seen, understood, and at ease in your own skin. Whether you’re a high achiever or have lost touch with motivation, beneath it all is the same desire to belong, to matter, to find rest within yourself. Overwhelm, doubt, and imposter syndrome can leave you tired of performing, tired of fitting in. The shift begins when we choose embodiment over performance; when we begin to embrace who we are, even amid the noise. I work with sensitive and neurodivergent souls seeking clarity, connection, inner peace, and the courage to live their truth.

You're smart, self-aware — and still stuck. The same arguments, the same anxiety, the same emotional shutdowns keep showing up. You're tired of the same painful cycles and ready for something to actually change. I work with individuals and couples across Los Angeles navigating depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship distress. I bring 10+ years of clinical experience — and a life with hard lessons of its own. I'm a father, over 14 years sober, a survivor of medical trauma, and someone who fought through infertility to build the family I have. I know what it means to be brought to your knees — and to find your way back.

Throughout my career, I have also worked with clients at all levels of care from in-home therapy to residential treatment.

Do you leave therapy feeling like you “talked it out,” but nothing is changing? Figuring yourself out can feel productive, but change doesn’t come from treating yourself like a problem to solve. You’re not imagining it. Being the client can feel awkward under the pressure to explain what you’re experiencing before it makes sense to you. If therapy doesn’t account for this dilemma, sessions become another place where performing takes over presence. I offer a method for sustaining a regulated state where shifts emerge organically and clarity arrives without forcing it. Clients carry alignment, agency, and ease into daily life.

To the outside world, you have it together.
You’re successful, respected, and trusted. People rely on you.
But there’s something no one sees.
What started as a way to manage stress has become something harder to control. Gambling is no longer occasional—it’s consistent, private, and quietly impacting your time, finances, and focus.
At night, when everything slows down, it’s what keeps you up.
