About me

I have been practicing as a therapist in California for 25 years, and am currently licensed as a clinical social worker. The bulk of my professional experience has been working with incarcerated men, and working with clients coping with anxiety, depression, and grief and loss. The services I provide do not include faith based practice, which means the advice I provide will never be based on any scripture, but based on sound clinical social work theory and practice. Our combined and shared life experiences, and the level of trust which you place in me as a support to you on a human level are the foundation upon which you will move in a direction of betterment of your choice. “Therapy … Counseling,” whatever you want to call it is frequently a philosophical exercise; your desire for change leading to questions leading to insights leading to positive change. As a professional, I stick to what I know. I offer my services based on our shared understanding of the difficulties you present to me. If the difficulties you face are more of a ‘problem in living’ as opposed to suffering diagnosed mental illness, or if the difficulties you are facing at this time are rooted in a difficulty coping with, or adjusting to a build up of stress in what has been an otherwise normal life course, the intervention or interventions we choose, we will design to fit your needs at this time. My career experience has afforded me the opportunity to work with clients who have faced among the most difficult life circumstances. I like to think that I bring my skills to you, rather than expect a set model of interventions will best suit your needs.
