I have over 27 years of experience providing counseling, psychotherapy, and life/career coaching services, from my offices in Los Angeles and in West Hollywood, California.
I am a graduate of the Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work at the University of Southern California, where I also serve as an Adjunct Associate Professor, teaching evidence-based clinical social work practice interventions (psychotherapy) in their graduate MSW program.
When you have challenges in your relationship, job, family, finances, sex life, or health, you need someone to talk to who really "gets" you, and if you're losing sleep, preoccupied, anxious, irritable, worried, frustrated, or depressed, you can get better.
I work with all different kinds of people in my practice, but I am a specialist in working with men, particularly gay men and gay male couples. I focus on the unique challenges in men's psychology in general, and gay men's psychology in particular, but there are times when this perspective helps me to work with women, too, especially in helping them understand their male spouses or partners. I can help you overcome your current challenges, and personally and professionally, and help you feel like yourself again.
I help you: Resolve conflicts at home or at work. Become liberated from the burden of addictions. Learn new and effective dating and social skills. Manage depression, anxiety, anger, OCD, trauma, etc. Improve satisfaction in your career, relationships and sex life. Cope with living with a disability or medical condition.
