My Approach
For 30 years I have helped individuals and couples build satisfying relationships and healthier lifestyles. My approach is direct, offering clients feedback and a practical and effective toolkit for better managing themselves and their relationships. This method provides quick results for most issues.
Specialties
My specialties are working with relationship issues and anxiety. The majority of my practice is comprised of couples, and one of my strongest skillsets is helping couples improve their communication within their partnership, and in their parenting.
I work with clients of all sexual orientations, lifestyles and cultures, and offer both short-term and long-term therapy, depending on your needs.
Experience
My training in the San Francisco Bay Area gave me the opportunity to learn from top experts in the field and work with an ethnically, economically, and sexually diverse population. I was a staff psychotherapist at Family Service Agency before opening private practice offices both in Marin and San Francisco. I opened my Santa Barbara practice in 2000.
Personal
I have been married for 30 years and have two young adult sons. In my free time I love to play tennis and hike.
