I have been in private practice for over 25+ years. Over that period of time, I have provided counseling and psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, families, and couples across a broad spectrum of issues. Currently, however, I am limiting my focus to providing individual therapy to adults, 18 years and older. My clinical approach is based on Solution-Focused Short-Term Therapy. Currently I maintain offices in Long Beach and Palm Springs.
For new and existing clients in the Long Beach area, I am providing telehealth therapy through Zoom sessions. In the desert, I am available to meet both existing and prospective clients in-person in my office in the downtown section of Palm Springs proper or via telehealth sessions over Zoom as well.
Ibelieve strongly that each client comes to therapy equipped with the inherent strengths and abilities necessary to uncover and implement the steps required to resolve the difficulties facing him or her. I see my role in that process as being one of assisting my client to heighten their awareness of, and access to, those strengths. I help my client become aware of all the possibilities for change and then collaborate with them in the creation of alternative solutions.
While I specialize in working with couples and adolescents, I also regularly counsel men and women alike across a broad range of issues including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, anger and stress management, and self esteem.
My unique combination of professional experiences is especially useful when counseling other men grappling with occupational and career development issues, and/or struggling to achieve a satisfactory balance between career and personal or relationship goals.
