I have more than 12 years of professional experience working with clients with histories of trauma, substance abuse and codependency, stress and anxiety, depression, and attachment issues. Clients have included incarcerated youth, their families, and the Court system, as well as children in foster care. I have also facilitated groups for members of the CA Lawyers Bar Association where individuals addressed issues of substance use, mental health, or disciplinary issues affecting work performance. Despite their differences, all have shared a desire for greater connection with others and a deeper understanding of self.

Humaning is hard, therapy should not be. When we begin to understand ourselves better, life becomes much easier to journey through.

Imagine feeling better, enjoying your family, and getting back into living a happy and peaceful life! This craziness that you find yourself stuck in- the anxiety, the depression, the anger, the stress; you don't have to suffer from it anymore.
You're not happy. You're not really sure when it all began, but slowly you find your life less fulfilling. You can't find the motivation to get anything done, you're struggling to concentrate at work, and nothing interests you anymore. It's like you're slipping into some black hole, and every day you sink just a little further. Sometimes, it's the anxiety that bothers you. You're worried all the time, and it's making it hard just to function. You feel like you just can't take this insanity anymore. And then, this thought crosses your mind, "Maybe it would be better if I just didn't exist anymore." And this thought scares you...

In my 30+ years of practice I have worked with individuals and couples, dealing primarily with issues of grief and loss, depression, and the stresses of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease.
Don't go another day with your pain. Perhaps you have reached a point in your life in which something has to change; the sadness, anger, confusion or depression have become too great a burden to carry. Perhaps you have been a victim of profound brokenness and long for healing and a brighter future.

In my practice, I incorporate somatic work to reduce symptoms of trauma, depression and anxiety (individually and in yoga therapy groups).
As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable environment for my clients. Overall, I use an very authentic, egalitarian, honest, direct, dialogic and relational approach. I focus on the ability of clients to make changes and find freedom in their lives by utilizing their unique potential, accepting personal responsibility, and exploring the meaning in life that they desire. My style stems from my belief that the client's own internal knowledge, strength, and commitment to change is what ultimately holds the power. Relational Gestalt therapy highly informs my clinical work and therapeutic style.

I work on difficulties such as depression, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.
Life is tough and no one teaches us how to do relationships or prepares us for the unending seasonal changes in and around us. I am a changed person myself and that's why I believe in the power of personal change. When you decide it is time to make those changes and take ownership of your future, there is hope for better things. I am also the father of four young adult children and enjoy supporting parents as they raise and launch their children. I will be honored if you allow me to accompany you on this journey.

I typically work with adults who are struggling with stages of life struggles, dealing with depression or anxiety, and with parents of adolescents.
I provide a space where you can explore the various aspects of yourself and gain understanding of all the unique parts of our lives that are at play. One key role is making goals and ways to achieve them which can lead towards success. Making a hard decision is often anxiety producing and can cause strong emotional reactions. You may rationally know what the right answer is but are struggling with following through on it. You may even act in a manner that is not yourself at all. When we act in a way that is different than our values it can cause us to feel a whole bunch of different feelings that can be largely uncomfortable.

We are all aware that life can be challenging, and often feels out of our control. Sometimes we are surrounded by obstacles that seem insurmountable, and at other times even the simple things overwhelm us. There are days when you know exactly what is bothering you, and other days that it feels as though you're walking through a heavy cloud and simply can't find your way through. You want things to get better, but you can't make it happen. You've tried different ways of controlling or changing your situation, or just "looking on the bright side," but perhaps more often than you would like those efforts fall short.
