My mission is to help people with personal growth to continue living or achieving a happier and more successful life.
My education and training include a doctorate in psychology plus advanced training in contemporary psychoanalysis, Jungian psychology, sandplay therapy, cognitive therapy, 12-step modality, and Eastern spirituality. Also, I am skilled at goal-oriented, problem focused, and time-efficient therapy. I provide a safe and calming therapeutic space along with respect and compassion. Since 1992, I have been helping individuals and couples from different walks of life and sexual orientations to live happier and more meaningful lives.
My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, financial concerns, relationships, co-dependency, intimacy, sexual compulsion, communication, chemical dependency, coming out, internalized homophobia, depression, anxiety, HIV/AIDS, addiction, dual diagnosis, trauma, immigrant families, work concerns, personal growth, bi-cultural marriages, self esteem, grief and loss.
