I work primarily with teens and adults and specialize in a variety of presenting concerns: stress/anxiety, depression, grief/loss, PTSD/trauma, body image/disordered eating, relationship difficulties/boundaries, career/life transitions. Some of us enter therapy with very specific goals, other times the goals become more clear as therapy progresses. Either way, something that is necessary is an openness and willingness to participate. I understand that therapy can be overwhelming in the beginning, and that is why my goal is first and foremost to always ensure that you as the client feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

Therapy can be helpful for everyone, it is a chance to share your thoughts and process things that have happened in a non-judgmental, safe space with a person who can hold those thoughts for you. Therapy is part of a journey to understand yourself. When you are better able to understand yourself, you are better able to understand the world around you and better able to navigate that world.

Congratulations on taking the courageous step to begin therapy. As we all know, life can be challenging and demanding at times. This may lead us to feeling sad, angry, hopeless or confused. We may feel stuck and not know how to move forward; which can be a very lonely and scary place to be as well. However, you are not alone and healing is possible! My role as a therapist is to provide a safe place and offer warmth and empathy throughout this collaborative process, in order to help you in exploring your thoughts and feelings, as well as guide you in developing insight and identifying skills to achieve the thriving life you deserve.

Let's be honest. People are as numerous as the stars in the sky and as unique as the snowflakes in winter. As a client, you deserve a supportive, therapeutic approach based upon you, the individual. So while I, as a therapist, counselor and clinician, may sometimes gravitate toward a number of theories and modalities such as Person-Centered, CBT, DBT and ACT, rather than shoehorn a client into a particular type of therapy, I do just the opposite.

I believe that people are resilient, resourceful, and capable of overcoming difficulties. Sometimes we get entangled in personal and relational patterns that can overwhelm our resources. I help clients identify these problematic patterns and empower them to break free from those that do not serve them. I also focus on my client's interpersonal relationships and relationships with larger social systems. I have experience working with children, teens, families, and couples on several issues, including family and couple distress, trauma, and various presentations of anxiety and depression through IFS and attachment-based lens.

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.

You're just going through the motions, and something is missing. You know your past is impacting your present, but you're not sure what to do about it. What you do know is that things with your relationships and family are complicated and you want to break the cycles that are keeping you stuck. You're at a crossroads with some of the people in your life, but you're not exactly sure what the next step might be. To others you look fine, but on the inside you're struggling. It’s time for a change but you don't know where to get started. You're tired of feeling scattered and anxious, while trying to manage different areas of life.

I am here to listen to you. I work with children, teens, and adults to support exploration of difficult issues and life changes. Often what brings someone to seek counseling, either for themselves or for their child, is being faced with a challenge they need support navigating and resolving. This issue may result from an atypical experience or be more pervasive, and can bring about feelings of anger, depression, anxiety, low self-worth, or communication issues. Taking the risk to ask for help is the first step on the road toward healing and growth.

Relationship issues? Do you suffer from anxiety? Does low self-esteem get in the way for you of having the life you really want? Maybe you are seeking insight into why you can't let go of past events that have impacted you. I can help. I believe strongly in the idea that everyone has the ability to heal themselves and at times may need additional support or guidance along the way. At the core of my therapeutic style, is the belief that a foundation of mindfulness and cultivating a healthy relationship to self is where healing and wholeness begin.
