Behind your carefully crafted success lies a hidden struggle, and I'm here to help you break free and build a life that aligns with your true self. Are you working tirelessly to build success but finding that other areas of your life are crumbling? Do you often feel like a failure or an imposter despite your achievements? Are you using distractions to mask your pain or overworking for the validation of others? Perhaps you find yourself in high-conflict relationships that have taken over your life, or you struggle with managing your intensity, believing you're "too much." Therapy is an opportunity to address these challenges head on.

I am open to working with any clients who have a genuine desire for change, self-awareness, and skill-building to positively improve their daily lives.

While my therapeutic roots are grounded in Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychosynthesis, I draw also from current ideas about quantum sciences and utilize altered states of awareness - such as mindfulness, meditation, and energy work, as well as the wisdom and practice of Native American traditions- to help each person find what works for their unique circumstance - so that they may experience a deeper connection to themselves and to the world around them.

Greetings...I have been a licensed therapist since 1987 and specialize in working with men, women and couples. I have been facilitating men's groups since the early 90's in my Redwood City office. My work is grounded in my deep understanding of the human experience and how we want to better understand ourselves and each other. Many of us lack some of the skills to accomplish this. I see myself as an experienced, wise and compassionate guide helping others navigate and master emotional challenges. Let me join you for a time on your life's journey.

These are certainly challenging times. Difficult emotions like loneliness, fear, anger, shame and disillusionment can take over, and you may feel like your life is out of control. Maybe things look good on the outside, but you feel uncertain on the inside. Maybe you have been avoiding things by “self-medicating” with alcohol, food, substances, TV, or the internet? Maybe you are having conflict with someone you love. Maybe “old stuff” is bubbling up? No matter what, you have arrived at this moment for a reason- you are ready to really look deeply at some things and make some changes! Therapy is a great place to do that.
