Services
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California (PSY18605) and I began my practice in southern Orange County in 2000 by co-leading the opening of a branch location of the Center for Individual and Family Therapy (CIFT), a diverse and well-respected therapy organization with nearly 20 years of service in the greater L.A. area.
Starting a practice from the ground up provided me time to meet with people in the community and develop a clear picture of the particular pressures and needs associated with living in this area.

While I will provide you with a variety of issues with which I work, I encourage you to consider the fact that you are more than just your symptoms.
I view myself as a foundation expert, which is why I've called my private practice "The Relation Foundation".
My services as a therapist focus on repairing and completing the core parts of people that are either missing or injured from life experiences.
Many kinds of buildings can go on top of a solid and complete foundation, but when the foundation has problems it will show in everything built upon it.

Couples counseling has some dynamics that are unique and can be different than marriage counseling.
It generally falls into two categories of help.
The first area of help is for those dating or engaged and working toward a possible marriage.
The second is for couples in a relationship that never intends to formalize their relationship into a marriage.
One reason to pursue couples counseling is if you're dating relationship is going really well and you want pre-marital counseling to make sure that the partner you have is going to make a great spouse one day.

The term "Christian counseling" tends to raise alarm from both Christians as well as non-Christians alike.
A non-Christian will look at a term like Christian counseling and think it's some kind of pseudo-psychological evangelism.
Christians will look at the same term and wonder whether the practice of psychology will betray or distort the principles of their faith.
This is usually why people when they find that I am both a Christian and a psychologist, ask whether I do "Christian counseling".
Understandably, all people are wanting to be sure that there is a common spiritual and moral basis for the counseling process that fit with their beliefs.
