I am licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist and Professional Clinical Counselor. I have been licensed in California since 1982 and currently specialize in individual counseling and psychotherapy for adults. My office is located in Valley Center, CA. I graduated with a Masters Degree from the State University of New York in 1979, specializing in professional psychology.
In addition to practicing psychotherapy, I have taught undergraduate psychology at San Bernardino Valley College and presented workshops for the Elder Hostel (now, Road Scholar) organization. From 1987 onward, I have educated the general public through newspapers, radio and on the web. My early experience included work in public agencies and as a unit supervisor in an outpatient substance abuse treatment center.
I have extensive experience using several of the experiential psychotherapies with a core training certification in Short-term Dymamic Psychotherapy.

Services
Individual psychotherapy and counseling provides the space and opportunity to find out what is getting in the way of a vital, happy and productive life.
Even though it is called "individual" therapy, important people in your life are sometimes brought into session when it is helpful and if you want them there.

Some people want help thinking things through.
They want to set goals, come up with a plan, then carry it out.
Goals can include: a better marriage, more self-discipline, a healthier lifestyle, anger management or many other things.
Deeper therapy helps address personal difficulties at the core.
We humans tend to develop habits, some of which were adaptive at other times in our lives.
Sometimes, these adaptations exact a cost in our current life.
I help people discover the nature of their self-defeating habits so that they can be cast aside.
