Change is an inevitable part of life. The lack of change or too much change can overwhelm us and derail our growth. No one escapes hardship and stress. During these times we need the trust, respect, and empathy of an impartial professional especially when family and friends are just too close to the matter. With more than 20 years of clinical practice, I've found that the healthier person reaches out for help beyond their immediate sphere. I see myself as a guide facilitating my patients' healthy risk taking and helping them manifest their visions for a better future.

Where can I go for help? Who can I talk to? How do I get through this? Won't somebody help me? Yes! I will. There are times in life when we go through something we just don't know how to get through. There are times when we reach a breaking point and acknowledge that doing it alone is just not an option anymore. Making the choice to reach out at that point is a breakthrough that can open the door to the relief you are seeking.

For the past 40 years, I worked in Australia and America as a therapist and educator. I was Director of the Family Therapy Program in Sydney and later worked with the Family Institute at Northwestern University. I help individuals overcome anxiety and depression & help couples improve communication, resolve conflict, and increase love & intimacy. Since I am also a writer, I frame individuals as the main characters in a story, called to face adversity, transform their lives, and achieve personal happiness. I am the author of "The Roadmap Home: Your GPS to Inner Peace" & co-author of "Fighting for Love: Turn Conflict into Intimacy."

Is your relationship suffering despite all your effort to make it work? I help individuals and couples struggling with addiction, infidelity and communication. It is difficult to build back the trust in yourself and in others. My role is helping you navigate a way out of the emotional maze that can feel lonely and hopeless. Feeling stuck leads to depression and anxiety that affects the quality of your life and your active participation in your happiness. This is the point when you socialize less, ignore your self care, drink more, and find life and relationships mundane. You don't have to do it alone. Call, let's talk.

...Not just another therapist, but a Clinical Psychologist that is also a Certified Addiction Specialist. 'Substance abuse treatment..." the subject of my doctoral dissertation, is the mantra of my personal journey and commitment to help others find the path to a better life. I integrate state of the art brain science with psychotherapy, refining and building upon that which I have personally mastered. I am committed to compassionate client care, and to meet you exactly where you are... whenever you are ready, because, the truth of the matter is, that most people cannot recover on their own.

It's all about Healthy Relationships. Forgive yourself and others and learn to accept that where you are is where you need to be. I can help you identify and meet your deepest needs while transforming your relationship with yourself and others. My goal is to have my clients become successfully independent with life-long tools for success. Through therapy, you can learn to discover your core SELF, find peace and balance and be ready to work and commit to action.

If you struggle with unwanted, upsetting thoughts and feelings, you’re not alone and you’re in the right place. The Center for the Obsessive Mind offers specialized care for those struggling with OCD, Anxiety, Eating Disorders and other mental health issues. When people come to see us, they are desperate to change their thoughts and feelings. While the fact that we have thoughts and feelings is a non-negotiable part of having a mind, we can help you to navigate your obsessive mind, live life on your own terms and get your life back.

You may be feeling confused or anxious about your life. Deep inside you desire more but feel stuck and keep cycling in the same patterns. I know how overwhelming and unsettling this can feel. Many of my clients realize they hold a lot in or distract themselves from their feelings because they just don't know what to do about them. If this sounds familiar, you are in the right place. Trust that voice that deep down is telling you that there is more for you in life and that you deserve to truly be happy. I teach clients how to finally release old stuck emotions and stop spinning in the same dysfunctional patterns.

I am licensed in AZ (4054) and CA (30066). In general, I practice a depth approach to Adult Psychotherapy integrated with techniques to manage patient symptoms and help people get their life back to 'normal' functioning. Patients struggling with anxiety, depression, pain, substance abuse (but not severe addiction), relationship conflicts, work related problems, 'transition to adult roles/functions' conflicts, and other mental and behavioral problems have benefitted from treatment with me.

Sometimes life doesn’t make sense, sometimes we want to be heard, sometimes we want to find ourselves, and sometimes we are just ready to grow or change. This can can leave us feeling confused, alone, hurting, stuck, broken, lost or unfulfilled. It can be hard to find your way out of these feelings. You don't have to do it alone, I can help you find your way.

I love the work I do as a psychotherapist. I see myself as a healer and guide. With you as my client, we navigate the challenges and perhaps, traumas of your past. Being guided through the changes you want to make, I offer empathy and compassion, knowing that self-exploration that leads to desired change can be a challenge, and sometimes the challenge becomes too great to want to continue. It is a given that I listen with in the moment “presence”, and I believe that this “presence” is the key to healing and growth. I welcome the opportunity to work with you as your guide and co-healer on your path of growth, healing and change.

If you have a child, teenager, or emerging adult who is struggling with hurt, grief, anxiety, or any other burden that appears heavy on their heart, I am here to help. It is my desire to create a space for clients to feel safe and heard within the counseling room. I believe that deep healing and change occur through a genuine and honest relationship with a caring counselor. You are warmly welcomed here.

My client's goals are to better understand his/her behaviors, thoughts, and emotions so that he/she is empowered to action, rather than reaction, in the face of life's challenges. He/she is eager to know him or herself better, to embrace the journey of self-awareness, thus leading to more freedom and grace, versus control, in interpersonal relationships. Most of all, my client wants to be truer to his or her genuine self: a better version of his/her genuine self, not a changed version. This will involve more acceptance and love of self and others.

Growing into a better life is done one small step at a time. Change is always possible, and it does not have to be overwhelming. My private practice is focused on individuals and their families impacted by issues related to unique academic, social, emotional, and behavioral challenges.
