“From Individual Therapy to Marriage and Relationship Counseling in Los Angeles, I provide counseling therapy to help you overcome your situation and live the life you’ve always wanted.” -- Dr. Jim 



The goal of therapy is to:

•  Relieve troubling symptoms
•  Optimize/improve daily functioning
•  Improve decision-making and life choices
•  Improve relationships and communication
•  Strengthen your self-image and self-esteem
•  Increase your ability to set goals and solve problems
•  Change behaviors that interfere with your life


Counseling Therapy is not about curing a defect.  It is about optimizing how you interact in the world.  You know that you are trying to do your best, but some of your behaviors, thoughts or feelings may be getting in the way of your success.

Counseling Therapy helps you access your best. 

Dr. Jim has the unique ability of combining compassion and understanding with humor and a direct approach.  As a regularly featured guest expert in the media, he's widely sought after for his insights and advice.  He's a powerful and inspiring motivator helping people resolve conflicts, change behaviors and improve relationships. 

Whether you are seeking individual therapy in LA for personal growth or marriage counseling in Los Angeles to improve your relationship, he can help you heal your concerns and reach the answers you're looking for through his positive and active approach to Individual and Marriage Therapy.  He can help you build communication and listening skills that eliminate criticism and foster growth between you and your partner. Old hurts and resentments are transformed into opportunities for understanding and building closeness.

He can give you the needed tools to improve your relationships at home and at work.  He'll work with you to overcome feelings of anger, low self-esteem and/or anxiety while helping you develop more satisfying relationships with family, friends and co-workers.

From helping you build self-confidence and manage anger to resolving fears and anxieties, he affects change through his proven and integrated counseling therapy appro achthat he's been bringing to his clients in Los Angeles for over 20 years.

Here's What Dr. Jim Has to Say:

I believe that it's the role of the therapist to be actively involved in the therapy room.  I listen and reflect, but I also contribute insightful feedback, informative handouts, personality testing, homework, behavior techniques to try at home and direct responses to any questions you have.  We're in this together.

I practice from the belief that if you're given an understanding of your issues from a psychological perspective and then given the tools and strategies to change your behaviors, it has a synergistic effect that more effectively creates the desired growth in your life.

I treat you as a whole and capable person with individual needs. I place importance on people above theories.  Having a strong, trusting and supportive relationship in the therapy room means that we're both real people working together to help find you the answers that you're seeking.  Together, we'll explore the creative use of your drives, enhance intimacy, explore your dreams and remove the blocks to get what you want out of life."
