| Practice Information |
I work with high functioning people to help make their lives better. Through our work together, I help you to understand how your personality, gifts and talents, family roles, habits and worries affect your present relationships, career, and life choices.
Together we look at options for healing and/or growing. Many request assistance with their anxieties, stresses, difficult emotions, depression, panic attacks, shyness, disorganization, or patterns in relationships and communications. Others want to know themselves better and to figure out what will make their life more fulfilling. We can work on your philosophies or how to make practical changes in your life.
I have over 20 years of experience in working in the Palo Alto, San Francisco bay area.
I provide Skype or Google talk video sessions to those who do not want to come to my office, or cannot come because of scheduling constraints, transportation issues or physical disabilities. This is a convenient way to have therapy in the comfort of your own venue, whether it is in your office, home, park bench or vacation spot! |

| Education |
I attended the University of California in the areas of theoretical mathematics and computer science. During my career in research and development, I provided lay counseling for a San Francisco bay area church. Because of my love of people and relationships along with my fascination with the human mind, I returned to school and pursued a marriage and family therapy license.
I continue to remain fascinated with areas of psychology, especially dealing with the personality, thinking styles, meaning of life, adult giftedness, fears and anxiety, EMDR and current brain research. |
| Bio: |
I have a background in mathematics and the technical world of Silicon Valley. I transitioned into counseling in order to work with gifted people who want their lives to be more whole and satisfying. I have taught in technical, martial arts and Christian settings.
My counseling experience includes many years of working with executive and technical people from large technical companies and start ups, lawyers, pastors, and medical people who want to improve their lives. This includes work on relationships, careers, and happiness using various techniques including EMDR, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), family systems, dream analysis, de-stressing techniques and bio-feedback, or other techniques that match an individual's needs.
I have been interviewed for my work on sudden wealth, sudden loss, relationships, Internet addiction, communications and counseling over the Internet. |
