Are you too hard on yourself and self-critical? 

Are you afraid you won't find, or keep, the kind of intimate relationship you always wanted to have?

Are you bothered by anxieties and depression 
and not sure why?

Sometimes life seems too difficult. It takes a huge effort to convince others, and yourself, that you are really "up" and okay. Thoughts inside your head bother and nag at you, and take the fun out of life. Do you worry, feel irritated, down or afraid too much of the time? 

Did you know much of how we live now is set from childhood? 

Other people tell you to shake if off, forget about the past and move forward- but this is not always so easy to do. Childhood relationships experienced with parents, and how they treat each other, have a huge and deep-set effect on how we, in turn, relate to others. It could hardly be otherwise since those lessons when growing up, make up ALL we know about relating. Even when we swore we'd NEVER be "like them"!

Life doesn't have to be a repeat of the past, or stuck in the past. And life does not have to be restricted by your past. 

If you would like to make some changes, I can help.

I provide a safe place to unload and work on a new understanding of yourself and your life. I work collaboratively with you to understand the underlying issues, often hidden from ourselves, that keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns. My approach is respectful, insightful, direct, and supportive. This is the best therapy approach. 


I will help you:

  • Find insights and instill meaning into life events

  • Get free of frustrating patterns

  •  See your dreams, fantasies, and thoughts in a new light

  •  Become excited by understanding your life more deeply and clearly

  •  Better understand how your mind works, and consequently better understand the minds of those you are  closest to

My approach can help you:

  •  Keep your past from inhibiting your current life

  •  Reduce depression and anxiety

  •  Improve your personal relationships

  •  Become more confident

  •  Feel better about yourself

  •  Perform better at work

My specialty is working in-depth. I work with the whole person, not just discrete problems. Our childhood families, relationships, sex life, work, dreams, thought patterns- all work together to make us who we are- and often need to be explored to bring about real, lasting change. I've been involved in therapy work for 17 years, and work with children over the age of 9, teens, adults, couples, and families. 

Finding a therapist in San Diego can be a big task and frustrating. I hope you will consider coming to my convenient San Diego location just north of downtown in Hillcrest. Free off-street parking is available.

Think you might need to go deeper? 
Intensive Therapy is an option I specialize in and highly recommend.
