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.

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.

Unresolved trauma and shame can create a variety of unwanted psychological, physical, spiritual and financial consequences. Through integration of the self and resolution of shame and trauma people often feel more energetic, less triggered by outside events, experience improved health and may see shifts in their relationships and finances. When you Heal Yourself, you can Love Your Life.

Over the past two decades, I have predominantly worked with trauma survivors (combat and or non combat), chronic mental illness, victims of crimes, domestic violence, and sexual assault. I have worked on the front lines and one of my passions is to support our first responders who are serving our community diligently 24/7. Depth psychology often includes a “mutual journey into the underworld.” The benefit of this journey is that we can learn to experience the darkness as well as the light, simultaneously, and by doing so enjoy a more peaceful life in the midst of ongoing challenges and opportunities.

Tired of crying yourself to sleep, blowing up "for no reason", feeling "on edge" and nervous, bickering with significant others, and feeling the need to defend yourself ? Chronic conflict and stress can leave us feeling drained and exhausted, with little hope for the future and no desire to try again. Your life and relationships may be "stuck" in a cycle of unmet needs and misunderstandings. Few of us grew up in ideal families or learning all we need to know about managing conflict and expressing our needs and emotions effectively.
