My central mission in life is to inspire men and women to discover and create extraordinary results in all areas of their life. Psychotherapy is one way to grow and change – to find hope and healing within ourselves and in our most significant relationships.

In addition, I believe that growth and transformation happen when we focus on being real – centered on core truths and wisdom that lead to effective living. My goal is to model this kind of character – being genuine, real and transparent. I believe these principles form the basis for personal integrity, character and authenticity.

Through both my roles as therapist and recovery coach, I have the awesome privilege of watching men and women reach for a new life – one that is chosen and valued – often a new beginning.

Education and Experience:

I graduated from the University of Oregon and completed my graduate training at Biola University.  In addition, I studied at Talbot Seminary, along with post-graduate training at California Graduate Institute.  Finally, I am a graduate of the Institute for Life Coach Training.  Areas of professional involvement and experience include:

>> Licensed Therapist

I currently practice in Southern California and have over 30 years experience.  Specialties include a focus on sexual addiction, substance abuse and recovery, marital counseling & enrichment and building successful relationships.  I work on a variety of men’s issues, often centering on personal integrity and moving into recovery from addiction and compulsive behaviors.
