The decision to seek out therapy is not always an easy one. However, finding a therapist that provides support, encouragement and techniques that can improve how you feel and function in life is worth the effort. If you are feeling overwhelmed in your relationships, work, or are experiencing low self-esteem that may cause you to use poor coping skills, take a moment and imagine yourself feeling hopeful. I am a strong believer in addressing the whole person (body, mind, soul).

There are many reasons people come into therapy. Some people may be responding to unexpected changes in their lives or desiring exploration of growth. There are times in life when our ability to cope with stress is overwhelmed by guilt, grief, doubt, anxiety, or despair, and therapy can help. Therapy can provide support, problem solving skills, and empower individuals and families to address issues such as depression, anxiety, lack of confidence, relationship issues, stress management and creative blocks. Seeking therapy is positive. My goal is to help clients work towards change & create a greater awareness in their lives.

My ideal Client would be someone struggling with very difficult circumstances in their interpersonal life. They may feel that things even look hopeless from their perspective. However; the Client comes to the first session and receives 30 CC's of hope, insight, and encouragement. They leave that first session with a clear understanding of their own personal goals that this therapist was able to help the Client discover. The objectives would be then identified from the Client's strengths, values, morals, and their own principles.

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.

Are you experiencing depression, anxiety or other moods that cause distress and reduce the quality of your life? Have you wondered what it would be like to be able to manage difficult feelings and calm physical responses to heightened emotional states? I offer talk therapy, art therapy or a combination of both to instill hope while working towards self-regulation and healing. We explore creativity as a practice of mindfulness; a skill that can be used throughout your life. If you decide you would like to try art therapy, there is no art experience required. I enjoy working with beginners as well as seasoned artists.

The fact that you are reading these words tells us you have been attempting to overcome some type of life adversity. We often do not seek this type of help, mostly because of the many negative judgments that have influenced us since our childhood. It is these vary experiences, along with our own perception of them, that has caused and exacerbated the very symptoms we seek help for. It has been my experience that this history needs to be revisited, reviewed, and re-addressed so that we can overcome many of the chronic conditions that affect far too many in this world. “There is no birth of consciousness without pain”, Carl Jung

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
