Years of private practice have taught me always to listen carefully to what my patient tells me because no two people, couples or families are the same. My experience in helping people with a wide range of problems has indicated that it is essential to tailor my method of psychological intervention to fit the particular problem, taking into consideration the circumstances and the individual characteristics of each person, couple or family. I view the process of psychotherapy of counseling as a cooperative effort between the therapist and patient.

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 struggling in your relationship or wanting a deeper level of connection overall? Talking to someone to help better understand & identify the signals your body is giving you as well as your patterns & defenses, can create positive and lasting change. I also enjoy working with couples - helping partners to understand the underlying dynamics at play in relationships & supporting conscious transformation. I love doing this work, believe it is both beautiful and empowering, and view it as a privilege to work with you. Life is a journey and it can be comforting to know that support is available.

After many years of independence, you may find yourself responsible for providing care for an aging parent. Your life is full and busy, with families, friends, careers, and local community participation, but you may also feel a duty to support your parents’ well-being during their sunset years. Instead of feeling numb to the stress, asking for help can be rewarding and fulfilling as you care for your parent.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
