Great to meet you!

My 43 years in business/academia, Probation Officer, and now psychoanalytic therapist has made me familiar with the criminal Courts in the Probation Department of Santa Clara County. Residential recovery is a large part of my pre-licensed supervision. Prior work with multicultural troubled youth ignited my interest in behavioral sciences.

Whether trauma, grief, relational/family issues, careers, PTSD, confidence, dependency, etc., I'm interested to help a client discover their peace.

A bit about my approach to therapy

First I feel it is important to become familiar with the client's life and goals for psychotherapy. Next I like to discover how a client's background may have shaped their present and explore various methods how the client would like to reach their goals.

What you can expect from our first session

An understanding of where their outlook on life originated, and create useful coping skills to find their desired prospective.
