After graduating from University of California, Irvine with an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Social Behavior, I went onto Chapman University for a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have since obtained additional training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My interest in EFT is driven by my own perception and experience of life. I believe, as socially bonding mammals, we are all hardwired to connect with one another. When this connection is lost or obstructed, we often experience emotional distress. 

​

As a therapist, I have successfully worked with individuals, couples, and families, dealing with relational distress, phase of life challenges, anxiety, depression, loss, and trauma.

 

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife, daughter, and friends. In particular, ballroom dancing has played a major role in my life from childhood to present day. In addition, I enjoy the outdoor lifestyle, often cycling, running, hiking, and swimming.
