Great to meet you!

What ever your needs I will encourage the client to relax in a none judgmental atmosphere that is their

place to be heard and safe to be themself.

I went to India to learn how to meditate when I was 23 yrs old. That was 54 yrs ago. I still meditate every day

and it was a turning point for me.

I got married when I was 40 yrs old to a women that had 3 sons. We were a bended family. The boys are adults now with their own families. We have been together for 35 yrs.

I graduated from UCLA and became a carpenter and cabinet maker.I worked in people houses for months sometimes. I saw a lot of families and saw how they lived.I got to know them and some were friends.

When I was 38 rs old I went back to grad school

to get a license to be a therapist.

Every client is an opportunity to meet someone on the path to be more of we real are.

My approach to therapy

My approach of therapy is to meet people as they are. From there I ask what they want to get out of therapy.

I maintain a none judgmental atmosphere. During the sessions I will monitor the client's attitude they have

about themselves . Most of use have part of us that is in the shade that we don't see. I try to bring to the area into light to see if the client can see it.I don't push anything but show them another way that points to accepting who they really are.

What you can expect from me

Client 's can expect a welcome atmosphere and a place for them to safely express what they would like to accomplish in our time together.
