| Bio: |
I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in individual, couples and family therapy. I maintain a private practice in Valley Center, CA.
With over 30 years experience, I graduated from the State University of New York in 1979, specializing in professional psychology. I am currently in private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of patients.
In addition to being a skillful practitioner, I have taught at San Bernardino Valley College, Redlands University, and for the Elder Hostel organization. From 1987 onward, I have reached the general public through newspapers, radio and on the web. I continue to do so using my blog, "Let’s Talk."

My sessions are active and engaging, as they should be, in order to achieve rapid, deep and durable results. You’ve suffered long enough. It’s time to live a full life! |
