Teletherapy for 92014

I remember going to my first therapist, and thinking “I have to go back to places I’ve already survived?” You do not have to go backwards, though sometimes we have to feel to heal. With over 30 years of experience, I compassionately help guide you experientially, so you can access somatic and emotional wisdom.

Selecting a therapist to trust can be daunting. As in any relationship, there must be a good match on many levels. New clients often ask me, "What is your technique?" In my twenty-five plus years of experience, I have learned not to apply a blueprint of "one-size fits all," but to focus upon the particular problems, and stressors that have brought you to seek help. My clients have expressed appreciation for my pro-active style; I am compassionate but not passive during sessions. My training in both hypnosis and mindfulness has given me unique tools to help my clients when appropriate.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties with self and others. Our first meeting by phone or video call will provide us the opportunity to discuss issues you seek to address. I practice from a psychoanalytic approach which means we will explore and deepen our understanding of your experience including unconscious influences on thought, feeling, behavior, and their impact on your present-day situation. My intention working with you is to enhance your awareness for the purpose of creating meaningful improvement, ultimately leading toward greater freedom and joy in living.

Because you are here, you are on the right track! I'm a clinical psychologist with over 16 years of experience helping people like you improve mood, energy, self- empowerment and quality of life.

If you or a loved one needs help, insight, or support, my office provides a comfortable and confidential place for us to explore the issues or problems. I've been helping teens and adults with a variety of issues for almost 30 years, with particular experience with anxiety, depression, relationships, personality testing, career testing, substance abuse, and disordered eating.

Asking for help is often tough, especially for us as men. Who do you turn to in times of crisis or confusion? We are socialized to be independent and "do it myself." However, there are times where we all need some help. Someone to talk to that won't judge us or ridicule us. One of the most difficult things to do is to make that first phone call to someone you don't know, asking for help. You just hope to get someone trustworthy, compassionate and competent. These are my strongest traits, and I welcome your call today.
