Luck, interest, fascination of the complexity of the human psyche and opportunity. I find meaning and purpose in the privilege that comes with another's trust in navigating adapting to life's inevitable uncertainties. Do you feel heard and understood currently? I understand the general concept, but can you please share what "heard and understood" currently means to you? Where do you feel most and least? Let's explore that and identify your expectations of me as the provider.

Life can be complicated, and there isn’t a handbook for managing issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationships. It’s important to know that you’re not alone, and these challenges are growth opportunities. You’re probably here because it’s time to “do something different.” Let our team at Meridian Counseling guide you on this journey.

I believe that a profound desire lies within each of us to thrive and live to our highest potential. I view therapy as a collaborative journey which encourages self-awareness and self-acceptance through the process of being present. In my work I seek to help my clients bring compassionate attention to the various dimensions of their emotional experience, may it be boundless joy or deep sadness. As we become more aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions, we are better able to navigate through struggle and uncertainty.

In need of sex therapy? Lack of desire? A sex-starved marriage? Sex/porn addiction? As a Sexuality Specialist and CSAT, I have successfully treated clients struggling with many different sexual problems (Men: erectile dysfunction, rapid/premature/delayed ejaculation Women: low desire, painful intercourse, vaginismus & vulvadynia. Either: sexual inexperience, sexual anorexia, childhood sexual traumas). I often use EMDR to resolve underlying traumas. I have researched and taught at UCLA, SMC, The University of Chicago, DePaul and been a sexuality expert on NBC, ABC and KCAL 9 news.

Imago therapy is an amazing relationship technology that very quickly gets us back to safe communication and experiencing our partner as a source of emotional safety, and passionate friendship. In my 35 years of working with couples as a specialty, Imago is the best system I have known to get us back to that feeling that we had in the beginning of our relationship. Its structured communication techniques distinguish it from all other types of couples therapy. the process itself feels very nonthreatening to both partners.

The same fight keeps happening. Or maybe you and your partner barely fight anymore, but the distance feels even worse. Trust may have been broken. Resentment may be building. Or you may just feel stuck and unsure what to do next. I work with adults and couples dealing with relationship stress, betrayal, infidelity, anxiety, and men’s issues. A lot of people I work with look like they’re managing from the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, shut down, angry, or alone.

Reaching out for help can be an intimidating journey, yet it's an act of profound courage that often emerges from the depths of vulnerability. We are inherently social beings, and our interactions shape our understanding of ourselves. But sometimes we find ourselves alone or feeling alone even when surround by people. I believe in guiding individuals from that shadow back into the light. I want to help people become the best versions of themselves. And to understand and accept that we cannot, nor should we try to be, the best version of someone else.

I believe in an active process between client and therapist where you can attain new perspectives on your life's challenges and transitions. Sometimes we are aware of difficulties we face, but need a safe environment to create the changes necessary. Our work will include unveiling the valuable gifts that your unconscious holds for you and looking at how your beliefs may be restricting you. I utilize different therapeutic approaches and tools to help you see and experience situations through different lenses. This enables you to make new and healthier decisions and live a more vital and fulfilling life.

I have been practicing therapy for over 15 years helping people work through problems ranging from anxiety and depression to problems with relationships and work life balance. I try to provide each client with an environment where they feel safe and supported, to explore the parts of themselves that they are struggling with the most, hopefully to walk away with some tools and a path forward.

I've been a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist for 30 years. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are interested in working on a deep level to connect your past history with your present life to help you understand why you are in the situation you find yourself in and to enable you to make sense of your feelings. With individuals, my goal is a loving self acceptance. With couples, I aim for each person to understand their partner's most vulnerable feelings, and then to learn how to protect each other and fiercely have each other's back.

I believe it is natural for humans to want to change how they feel. Unfortunately, how we seek this change can determine the difference between healthy vs. unhealthy behavior. My work is guiding you through an in-depth exploration of how early experiences have shaped your sense of self and how you manage feelings. My goal is to help you develop both a compassionate view of these experiences and a more secure sense of self. With a prior background in entertainment, I work with actors/artists/writers/entertainment professionals, grief/loss ( of people, time, dreams, pets), trauma, dual diagnosis and gay men navigating mid-life.

You may look high functioning on the outside while privately feeling anxious, disconnected, emotionally overextended, or exhausted from holding too much for too long. Many of my clients come to therapy after years of being the responsible one, the caretaker, the achiever, or the one who keeps it together, yet underneath feel deeply worn down, unseen, or unsure of who they are outside of survival. I specialize in helping adults heal from the long term effects of emotionally immature or narcissistic parenting, chronic anxiety, multicultural identity stress, and intergenerational trauma.

I have extensive experience working with patients with dual diagnoses that include substance abuse, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, and personality disorders. Over the last 8 years I have worked with clients struggling with comorbid substance use and mood disorders. I believe that people are resilient and I cherish that, and work to enhance that resiliency. I believe every client is an individual, with various experiences and needs, and thus, it is critical to have their treatment be personalized to their needs, areas of strength, readiness for change and personality style.
