Get Help Now, Compassionate Care for Issues
Affecting the Quality of Your Life
I have been in private practice for over twenty years and have helped many people overcome issues affecting their lives. I work with all populations except children. If you are having problems in your life, whether it's loneliness, the desire for a relationship, relationship issues including infidelity, boredom or sexual issues, anxiety, depression, job unhappiness, creative blocks, feelings of emptiness or failure, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, childhood issues or struggling with alcoholism, I can help you heal and become all that you want to be and were meant to be.
I am interactive, supportive, and join with my clients, helping them find solutions to their problems.
I also coach people regarding life issues and job issues. If you are living outside of California, I can't be your therapist but I can coach you for all problems, except severe depression or severe mental illness, via telephone, email, or video conferencing.
I see or hear sessions via doxy.me or phone
I am available for phone sessions and email sessions until very late in the evening. I generally don't do sessions after one am.

Bio
I've worked with individuals, couples, adolescents, families, people of color, gay and lesbian people for all of the issues listed in my practice statement. I've worked with veterans and the families of veterans for PTSD and other war related issues and with trauma and abuse from other situations. I've also worked with artists and writers.
In addition to being a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am also a certified Master Hypnotist and a certified Regression Specialist using hypnotherapy. I am a published writer and taught at a major university before embarking on my career as a psychotherapist so I have insight about and can help people overcome creative blocks and to create at their highest potential.
