My philosophy is that therapy is a team approach, and I view myself as a fellow traveler walking alongside my clients on their therapeutic journey. I believe that we all deserve a place where we can explore our thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental setting. People's thoughts, ideals, values, and opinions are important to them, and I offer a therapeutic environment that allows individuals to explore these without bias or judgment. In addition, I have a deep passion for helping individuals explore life transitions at any stage, as well as those suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship issues.

In today’s fast-paced world, where each person is affected differently, I find great fulfillment in working with individuals wherever they are in their lives and helping them move towards their goals. It is a privilege to support people as they discover their true selves, understand their current situations, and reconnect with their core values to enhance their internal and external worlds. I specialize in working with both adolescents and adults to manage symptoms related to addiction, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and impulsive behaviors.

Please know that there are so many people who are going through the exact same struggles you are.
Try as we might, sometimes happiness and contentment always seem just out of reach. Depression, anxiety and stress can make getting out of bed in the morning a daunting task. Troubles in your relationship or conflict in the family can make you feel helpless or overwhelmed. You don’t like yourself and never feel good enough at work or around certain people. Maybe you just can’t quite put your finger on exactly what is wrong, you just know you don’t want to hurt anymore.

My approach assumes that my clients are the best judges of what they need, that significant and lasting change can take place in every session, and that anyone can learn ways to create a more productive, purposeful, and passionate life. I love collaborating with my clients in creating and sustaining the changes they wish to make and surprising them with how quickly and deeply these changes can manifest. I have a broad range of experience with challenges clients may face, and have in-depth experience with trauma, teens, men's issues, and challenge of creating purpose and meaning.

Therapy can be a completely different experience depending on the people involved. My style of therapy involves getting to know my client and helping them use their strengths to improve their life. Often client's overlook their own strengths while identifying with their diagnosis, failings, or past. I am often amazed at the strength and resilience of individuals and look forward to helping them find it within themselves. In therapy the relationships between the clinician and client is the primary element toward improvement. I work hard to keep the relationship strong and growing.

I have been a psychologist for over 50 years. I earned a B.A. in psychology from Northwestern University in 1967 and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Colorado in 1972. I taught, conducted research and treated patients at Vanderbilt University, where I collaborated with Dr. Hans Strupp, a pioneer in the study of the effectiveness of psychotherapy. I published over 100 scientific articles on the process and outcome of therapy and the influence of sex and race biases in diagnosis and treatment.

I typically work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, phase of life issues, difficulties in decision-making, mood disorders, and bereavement. I also enjoy working with clients who are seeking self-actualization or perhaps want a space to process their feelings and fine-tune their mental health.

As a drug and alcohol counselor, I envision my ideal client as someone who is deeply motivated to break free from the destructive patterns of substance use but feels trapped by their current circumstances. They may be dealing with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem, which fuel their dependency on drugs or alcohol as a way to cope. This client is someone who recognizes the toll their addiction has taken on their relationships, career, and physical health, and though they feel overwhelmed, they are ready to take the first steps toward change.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing services for individuals, couples, adolescents, families, and first responders. I have experience in treating PTSD, depression, anxiety, addictions, and substance use. I have worked as an on-campus therapist in the public school system, community mental health with former foster care clients in the transitional aged youth (TAY) population, and have experience working in intensive outpatient programs for substance use. In addition to providing therapy, I find my diverse background in construction, tree services, and automotive work gives me a unique perspective in my practice.

As James Baldwin famously said, "not everything that has been faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless faced", I also offer you the following poem: "When we feel safe, anything is possible. We become unstoppable. Because we have a firm ground to launch and a safe ground to land. We can then stand. Voice ourselves, show ourselves. Life becomes a dance."

I have found that success, whether relationship, career, parenting, spiritual, or otherwise - can be blunted or excelled based on our perspective and emotional capacity. Often we are using the tools we have or were given and doing the best we can, but it doesn't seem to be enough. I believe we are able to learn tools and skills we were never taught, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and gain a new hope and perspective that allows us to find the success in life we desire. We don’t have to be stagnant with where we are. We can grow and change, — especially when we are supported and taught how to.

My ideal client seeks to dive deep into their anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. In my therapy room, you will have an empathic ear, that is eager to ask follow-ups about the issues that underlay our conversation. We will develop goals for our sessions, and regularly track how we are meeting those and if they have changed. Together, we can develop a plan that fits you and achieves the goals that we set out. While this might not always be an easy road, I promise that we will walk arm in arm toward the destination which is better mental health.

Queer people can be comfortable sitting with a therapist who belongs to their community and can identify with many shared struggles and triumphs.
I offer teletherapy to clients in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Colorado. I offer in-office visits in Sacramento. Sometimes we expect far too much from ourselves. Each client is invited into a space where there is no expectation and where they are free to be themselves, without fear of judgement or misunderstanding. Adults can sometimes struggle to find space to hold compassion for themselves. Any style relationship can also use a nonjudgmental time and space to feel heard, while building tools for communication.

For many, neurofeedback is all they need to realize that potential.
Are you, or your child, struggling with ADHD, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD, Autistic, Attachment or Neurodevelopment disorders? Are the symptoms making school, family and/or work life difficult? Or, are you an athlete or business person who excels but wants to perform even better? Perhaps you are spiritual and wanting to improve your meditation or mindfulness practice. Neurofeedback provides you healing, relief and peak perfor mance through its' non-invasive use of neurologically relevant feedback by sound and sight cues to gently inform your brain toward what is naturally best for it.

Imagine waking up in the morning without that impending sense of dread, or the constant need to overthink things. Together, we’ll turn the volume down on that critical voice and start turning the volume up on the positive voice that’s waiting to break through.

I do "what works," while being cautious to work in a professional manner, utilizing mainstream counseling techniques.
Who am I? I've been married for 20+ years. My wife and I have a teenage son. I'm personable, friendly and like to laugh. I talk and ask questions. I won't sit silently and wait for you to talk. I won't say, "How does that make you feel?" I've been told that I'm a "normal guy." Who are you? Someone who wants to feel better? Or wants your teenager to talk to someone? Or wants to be happier and more secure in your committed relationship? Let's keep it simple and work together to find solutions.
