Christian counseling based on God's Word helps couples and individuals see their struggles in light of God's desires and expectations.
Marriage can be difficult. Two people who struggle with their own personal issues work to meld their lives together, but in that process they may become stuck in a disruptive cycle of blame shifting. As fallen humans, we tend to serve ourselves before we serve others. The goal is peace in the marriage, but that can seem so elusive at times. Pornography and sexual addiction can also effectively tear apart marriages, but there is hope to put off these behaviors and put on God-honoring habits.

Welcome to my practice. 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.

It is important that my patients feel respected, encouraged, and cared for. My job is to really listen and help you feel understood. I also think my role is to give you lots of feedback and not just be a passive listener saying, "uh, uh hmm, I see, hmm". I am a coach, role-model, cheerleader, teacher, confidante, gentle 'kick butt' person, resource, and accountability partner. The biggest complaint I have heard over the years about any past therapists whom patients felt were not helpful was the complaint that the therapist was way too passive. I work best with those that want a therapist high in empathy but is not passive.

Who you are: a millennial individual (or couple!) and finally ready to explore therapy. I help you articulate what’s at the root of your concerns: What's important to you? What do you value? How is your life currently aligned with those values and what is getting in the way? I help you better understand yourself, your needs, and how to get those needs met. It is important to me that the space we create is compassionate, curious, reflective, and interactive. Common issues that I work on in therapy include life transitions, managing stress/anxiety, building your sense of Self, relationship concerns, and improving communication.

Do you feel like you are on repeat? You and your loved one(s) are going in circles, arguing about the same things; nothing seems to be resolved. You want to move forward but don’t know how. Maybe you don’t feel heard; somehow your message keeps getting missed and it doesn’t matter how loud or silent you get. You might be having a hard time reconnecting or understanding each other. Perhaps, you are grieving a painful breakup that has made you realize that there is an underlying pattern. Or just maybe, your inner child is screaming out and you are having a hard time making sense of your fears, anger, grief or shame. You need to heal.

Depression is a monster. In the majority of cases, anxiety co-exists with depression making it even more debilitating for the individual. While there may be similarities in stories, each person's experience is very unique. That is why it is critical to work with the uniqueness of each person's experience to create the desired outcome of having joy and peace again in life. I've worked with people from a variety of employment settings who initially found it difficult to come to therapy but were so thankful that they did. I've seen lives completely turn around. Positive Change can occur. NEVER give up! Invest in yourself!
