This is me at the beach with Shannon, our 25 year-old daughter. My wife Vicki and I had the good fortune to raise her here in beautiful San Diego North County, where she has had the opportunity to become an accomplished surfer, sailor, diver, and nature photographer. Vicki and I are a Marriage and Family Therapist team in private practice here for 20+ years in Encinitas, California. As well as seeing couples and families, I have specialized in treating anxiety disorders and phobias, depression, alcohol and substance abuse, and adolescents.
I completed my B.A.degree at the University of Connecticut and graduate training at Purdue University. Using an eclectic approach, I combine elements of cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, client-centered and mindfulness therapies in my practice. I am also certified in Clinical Hypnosis for use in weight loss, smoking cessation, habit control and anxiety reduction.
I began focusing on treating adolescents very early in my career, and I have always enjoyed working with their youthful energy. Helping parents to work more closely together and develope simple and effective parenting skills can transform a stressful, contentious family life i

Medication not working? Feeling stressed, afraid, and out of balance can rob you of your vitality and can prevent you from reaching your full potential in life. Many situations in our lives can lead us to feel this way whether it be the result of a traumatic event, a significant loss in life, and/or our habits, behaviors, attitudes, and emotions. Experiencing these stressors can be overwhelming at times, especially if trying to manage them alone. If you find yourself at this particular place in your life, I would welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you while we work together to find healing.

I have a heart for distressed marriages and want to help you find healing from difficult pains that occur so you can live a fulfilled life of joy and peace. Sometimes painful feelings can become so overwhelming that we lose sight of our purpose, leaving us stuck in a perpetual unhealthy cycle. Past traumas, experiences, doubts, and anxiety can trap us into believing lies causing us to live broken lives. Whether you are struggling in a cycle of being angry with others, shaming yourself, vying for control, escaping into drugs, affairs, porn, or shutting down from others, there is hope.

Welcome to my profile! I'm so glad you are here. My passion is helping people with life transitions. Many of my clients are young adults, seeking support with their journey into adulthood. Perhaps you feel pressure "to keep up" and find yourself constantly comparing the way you look, feel and act to those around you. You may feel pulled in many directions such as career, relationships, and family. I can help you clarify your goals and priorities. I also enjoy supporting women and couples during pregnancy and the early stages of parenthood, helping sort through what they feel they "should" be feeling/doing versus their reality.

These are certainly challenging times. Difficult emotions like loneliness, fear, anger, shame and disillusionment can take over, and you may feel like your life is out of control. Maybe things look good on the outside, but you feel uncertain on the inside. Maybe you have been avoiding things by “self-medicating” with alcohol, food, substances, TV, or the internet? Maybe you are having conflict with someone you love. Maybe “old stuff” is bubbling up? No matter what, you have arrived at this moment for a reason- you are ready to really look deeply at some things and make some changes! Therapy is a great place to do that.
