When you are immersed in the throes of anger, sadness, worry, or loss, it is hard to believe you can achieve wellness and peace. I help you find a way to view your life challenges from a new perspective. You may worry that if you look and see more deeply, you will become overwhelmed. But just the opposite is true. Without new awareness, old beliefs and hurts keep you stuck in self-defeating behaviors.
I act as a gentle guide to help you develop specific tools to overcome your life challenges. We explore what feeds your anxiety, sadness, or relationship conflict, or what hinders your healing loss or trauma. I teach you how to calm your fears, heal your pain, and change your self-limiting patterns, so you can gain greater harmony from within and with others.
Along the way you'll discover new strengths and understandings that allow you to create your own best answers to your difficulties. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest. Greater peace and happiness is possible. By looking for a therapist, you are honoring your inner voice telling you it's time for change.

Services
For more than 30 years I have worked as a psychotherapist for individuals, couples and families.
Early in my career I specialized in medical social work, followed by working at family service clinics.
For the last 20-plus years, I've worked in private practice, currently in Campbell, CA.
With such a diversified professional background, I am experienced working with people from varied cultural, socioeconomic, and educational backgrounds who come with a broad spectrum of presenting problems.
In addition to my clinical work, I often give presentations and workshops on a variety of related subjects, including divorce survival skills, stress management at work, family wellness, and balancing your life.

Cutting edge brain research concludes our brains can be re-wired through new experiences.
I use an experiential approach so that you can transform problems into corrective experiences.
Whether you come to me as an individual, couple, or family, I invite you to role-play, draw, or talk about your situation so you gain a sense of what is working, what isn't, and what you would like different.
Collaboratively we work to discover what blocks, sabotages, or hinders you from getting your needs met.
I then help you practice doing things differently in ways that enhance your individual, couple, or family well- being.
