My counseling work in North San Diego brings me into contact with individuals and couples from many walks of life. I've worked with highly stressed engineers riding the roller coaster of the tech world, single parents trying to survive the pressures of working and raising children as well as grandparents or elders facing serious medical issues and loss. In addition to this, I am currently expanding my practice to include help and attention to spiritual travelers challenged by emotional and psychological blockages which impede them in their journeys.

I have become especially familiar with those who face anxiety, depression, substance use problems and  relationship crises as well as grief and numbness due to aging and loss. I offer a "user-friendly" yet "no-nonsense" approach to addressing the difficulties from which individuals suffer.

I also use knowledge and experience from 30 years of personal study and spiritual practice drawn from Buddhist and Contemplative Christian traditions to explore the deeper issues that emerge during spiritual emergence.
