Welcome

Often the demands, conflicts, fears, disappointments, losses and traumas of life keep us from experiencing that still, peaceful place inside. It can take tremendous courage or desperation or a crisis...or all three, to make the first call for help. I understand what a significant step this is.

I am here to help you. I have over twenty years of clinical experience helping people of all ages navigate the most challenging stretches of their journeys. I am committed to working compassionately with each client in a respectful, collaborative manner, viewing myself as both a guide and a witness to the sacred path of growth and struggle in the human experience. I will help you open doors to new possibilities in your current situation.

In my own journey of growth and healing, I have found poetry to be a source of comfort and inspiration. You can read some of my favorites by clicking the tab, " Poetry & Words for the Soul ".

 

Client sessions are held in my comfortable office, which is located in the lovely, serene setting of a professional building. There is ample parking and easy freeway access.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am an Adjunct Professor at Pepperdine Graduate School of Education and Psychology where I have taught since 2000. I currently teach Professional Ethics and Law for Mental Health Professionals , and Interpersonal Skills and Group Therapy .
