Find a Therapist in Rolling Hills Estates, CA

I help you get to know yourself better. Working with deep compassion and understanding, clients often find healing through enhancing their strengths and exploring new ways of being. My work is effective with adults, couples, families, and adolescents. I'm particularly passionate about working with people who possess the courage to live lifestyles that are counter-culture to mainstream society and those ready to deepen their relationship with other-than-human nature. My background and specialties include experience with trauma recovery, alternatives to mainstream education, multi-cultural, blended families, spirituality, and adoption related issues.

I specialize in working with adult individuals and couples, facing challenges with relationships and divorce, coping with anxiety and depression, and navigating life's myriad challenges. I also work with executives and professionals helping them understand how their inner world affects their professional effectiveness and efficiency. All of my work is grounded in evidenced-based treatments including: DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), PCM (Process Communications Model) and value-oriented and mindfulness-based approaches—tailored to best fit the needs of my clients. I am empathic, direct, and dedicated to your progress. Together we’ll achieve the changes you desire and need as quickly as you need it.

I do telehealth, which means I do online therapy in the comfort of your own home in any city in California. I don't provide in-person sessions. I specialize in helping males develop emotional intelligence. I work with teens and adults. As a male, you were told not to express how you feel despite what you go through, suppressing your suffering, sadness, anxiety, and trauma. Suppressing the parts of yourself that make you fully human. You have sufferings left untouched, with unexplored lessons of wisdom, which deepen your character, your integrity, and resilience. Although you've held it all inside, for days, months, or even years, you're still pushing forward, at work, in your relationships, as a husband, and as a father, trying to make it happen. But maybe in the midst of the fast life, you felt you lost yourself, felt unhappy, or numb. I'm here to help you reconnect with yourself and those around you by helping you build your emotional intelligence and tapping into your masculine genius. What is masculine genius? Men as masculine are made to actively initiate love and use their strength to protect and promote that love to others. By building your emotional intelligence, you will be able to explore the root causes of your struggles with compassion and understanding of yourself and those around you. I'm here to journey with you.

I believe dynamic, lasting change happens when we look beyond surface-level symptoms and understand the deeper patterns driving our lives and relationships. Whether you are seeking therapy as an individual or with a partner, my approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory and relational depth. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California, I work with you to explore the underlying thoughts, emotional patterns, and past experiences that shape how you see yourself, manage stress, and connect with others. For Individuals: Life transitions, anxiety, or ongoing feelings of disconnect often stem from unconscious patterns developed over time. Rather than relying solely on quick-fix coping tools, we go deeper. I offer a collaborative, thoughtful space to help you develop authentic self-awareness, process unresolved emotional conflict, and cultivate a stronger, more resilient sense of self. For Couples: Relationships are complex, and even the strongest partnerships encounter communication breakdowns, trust erosion, or repeating cycles of conflict. My approach to couples therapy focuses on uncovering the relational dynamics and attachment needs underneath the argument. Rather than assigning blame, we work together to rebuild emotional safety, foster deep understanding, and create a renewed connection built on clarity and mutual respect.

I work with adults who want to improve their self-esteem. Do you experience anxiety, depression, or interpersonal difficulties? Do you have an anxious or avoidant attachment style? If you struggle with making decisions, if you're not sure how to navigate relationships, or if you sometimes just feel "stuck," therapy can be beneficial. Early trauma and attachment injuries can cause ruptures to one's sense of self, but a safe therapeutic relationship can help create a corrective relational experience that will positively impact your relationship with yourself and others. I use a combination of client-focused relational therapies, along with somatic healing and Brainspotting for deeper levels of processing. I offer a safe therapeutic environment for you to explore your feelings, behaviors, and interpersonal patterns. I'll provide you with tools to help you create meaningful change in alignment with your values. I firmly believe "it's the relationship that heals." It is my sincerest intention to provide the safety, tools, and encouragement you need to explore your deepest needs, feelings, and desires. You are not alone, and you deserve the time and space to create the life you want. Please reach out for a 15-minute phone consultation to discuss further.

Life is a journey full of ups, downs, and forks in the road, which can bring about stress, anxiety, depression, and an overall feeling of helplessness. Most of the time, it’s easy to navigate on our own, but quite often a licensed psychotherapist is needed to restore balance and provide you with the necessary tools to rebuild and/or redirect your life toward becoming more fulfilling, uplifting, and enjoyable. As your therapist, I’m committed to creating a safe place to address any issues you feel are holding you back from becoming the very best version of yourself, creating a relationship built on trust, honesty, and understanding. I have worked with couples, people who have experienced crimes, adolescents, young adults, older adults, as well as clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and loss. I take pride in being able to provide my clients with numerous resources and valuable coping mechanisms. I will provide you with the tools necessary to manage life’s setbacks, uncertainties, and mental meltdowns. But more than anything, as your therapist, I will be there to listen and champion you along the way. Let's chat!

I specialize in helping busy adults better manage symptoms of stress and anxiety and become more present, engaged, and purposeful in their daily lives.

I utilize evidence-based treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions to help each client move toward their goals. In my sessions, I meet each client with gentle curiosity as we together begin to understand how their anxiety, stress, or other challenges function within the larger context of their life and values. From there, we work together to develop practical strategies to create positive changes that are in alignment with their goals and fit within their busy lives.
