My typical client is an adult of exceptional intelligence, creativity, achievement, and kindness, who needs to address problems in his or her life. These problems include depression, anxiety, the disease of addiction, childhood trauma,the addictions of others, and/or difficulties in forming or enjoying relationships.
Too many people emerge from childhood with wounds from parental loss, abuse, or neglect. Some carry genetic loadings for addiction. The aftermath of these is devastating, despite success and "looking good." Revealing the pain to another person and revising basic assumptions about yourself and others in a safe relationship can help.
I will be interested in your current life, your history and memories, your hopes for the future, your dreams and fantasies, and the relationship that develops between you and me. Understanding these will help you understand yourself, so that you can take the risks necessary for growth.
My background includes a B.A. from Harvard, a Ph.D. from PGSP (now Palo Alto University), internships at Kaiser and Stanford, a staff psychotherapist position at Stanford, and over thirty years in private practice. I have published articles and book chapters on addiction, and have taught classes for therapists.
