A former professional athlete turned clinician, I received my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. During my time in practice, Ive had the opportunity to work with a diverse client population ranging from 15-50 years of age, addressing a wide range of presenting problems in the clinical setting including but not limited to: Depression, Anxiety, Life and Career Transitions, Relationships, Men's Issues , and Trauma. As a Los Angeles native, I understand the stressors of living in the city, as well as our need to have someone to process it all with in a safe and non-judgmental space.

Working in the mental health and addiction field for over 20 years. Worked with individuals, couples, adults, young adults. Specializing in addiction, trauma, and men's issues .

I am a psychoanalytic therapist who works with repetitive relationship problems, anxiety, panic disorders, long-term depression and men's issues . These often show up as poor self-esteem, feelings of loneliness and disconnection, false-self, obsessions and addictions, and unexplained physical symptoms. Sometimes people feel that something isn't right, but they aren't sure what. When friends, family and self-help aren't enough, I take the time to get to know you and listen for what repeats itself in your thoughts and actions.

Welcome. Whether you’re considering therapy for the first time or you’re very familiar with the process, I’m glad you’re here. Oftentimes an individual comes to therapy with an issue or perhaps a variety of issues. These challenges might cause distress or control an aspect of one's life in some way or another. This can be quite difficult. In the process of therapy, insight is developed through feeling, expression, and the courage to explore aspects of ourselves that we are strangers to. As a result, meaningful change can occur and the tables may turn - managing it, instead of it managing you.

Hello and welcome. My name is Preston and I am a queer therapist of color. My first priority as a therapist is always to establish a safe and vibrant relationship with clients, believing deeply that authentic human connection is one of the greatest catalysts for healing and change. I also take a systems approach in the work I do with clients, seeking to understand each individual’s role within larger social and systemic constructs. I bring a social justice lens to working with clients, helping people to understand and heal from the effects of internalized oppression and the ways it impacts one's sense of self and relationships.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Los Angeles and serving clients across California. I believe in creating an environment of openness, acceptance, and curiosity, where you can voice your doubts and your fears, while feeling empowered to move forward. I will give you tools to make meaningful changes in your life, and support you as you navigate challenges along your path to change. I use modern, evidence-based practices to treat adolescents and adults. I value each client’s cultural identity and lived experience, and will customize treatment to meet your specific needs.

We ALL need compassionate, focused empathy, supportive insight, and unconditional acceptance, whatever your background, occupation, culture, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, relationships, worldview, politics. I am uniquely equipped to help you find and express your best self and create solutions. Change IS possible. First session free. In-person sessions at my office in Beverly Hills, and telehealth throughout California.

I strive to create a supportive therapeutic relationship with you and to provide a safe relational space, which I believe are especially important if you feel vulnerable or are in emotional pain. I take an active role in session to help you heal and reclaim your inner voice and truth. I ask probing questions designed to uncover conscious and unconscious barriers to achieving your best life.

Therapy can be scary! And I am inspired by my clients who face those fears head on and are willing to do the work. Many difficulties stem from relationships, whether that be with others or the one we have with ourselves. My work with individuals, couples, and families is direct yet warm, empathetic, and understanding as we navigate together how to process the blocks that can obstruct your view and ability to move forward. My clients can expect to explore life events from the past as patterns of behavior emerge in the here-and-now. As this self-awareness begins to develop, clients can often lead more joyful and connected lives.

I have been in practice for over 10 years, helping clients to explore and resolve relationship issues, as well as anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. My work is client-centered, which attempts to tailor the therapeutic approach to the needs of the client. I incorporate Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, Mindfulness Practice, Narrative Therapy and Attachment Theory, which looks at the ways in which childhood experiences may affect one's relationship to self and others.

I am a clinical social worker providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families. My areas of specialty and interest are LGBTQ-identified people, kids and teens, and people struggling with eating disorders. I value critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and humor within the therapeutic relationship. I treat my clients with respect and acknowledge that they are the authorities of their own lives. I make an effort to emphasize strengths without invalidating very real feelings or minimizing problems. I collaborate with my clients to develop effective and individualized treatment plans to empower them to make changes in their own lives.

Finding support can be difficult; difficult to acknowledge and difficult to start the process. Know that you made the brave decision to prioritize yourself. Therapy could be a good option if you find yourself struggling to stay motivated, want to improve your relationships, aim to achieve growth or self-improvement, find yourself second-guessing decisions, have a hard time identifying and/or regulating emotions, or feel like you're living a life on auto-pilot. Through collaboration, curiosity, and comfort, we can identify and challenge limiting messages from the patriarchal, hetero/cis/mono-normative society we live in.
