I'm a board certified, licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Pasadena, California where I work with adults on a variety of emotional, relational, spiritual and existential issues. I write for several magazines to a global audience to demystify psychology and therapy. Supervising and teaching psychology graduate students has always been a passion of mine. Several Internet startups have sought me out to inject some psychology into their product and culture. I formed a psychotherapy awareness day, launched a mental health checkup protocol, and formed an online mental health bootcamp. In my spare time I play guitar in a rock band and make the world's best tomato sauce every weekend.Clinical Specialties: Board Certified in Clinical Psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). My practice focuses on depression, anxiety, relationships, men's issues, concerns with direction or the meaning of life, and creativity and other work-related issues.Writing Specialities: Psychotherapy, transference, termination, forgiveness, shame, reconciliation, assertiveness, clinical supervision, personality, finance, therapist professional development, and all aspects of the therapist-client relationship.
