I work with relationship and communication issues, grief and loss, anxiety, trauma, depression and the root causes of addiction. I also specialize in helping clients discover their inner gifts and their place in our world. For those desiring a group healing environment, I founded The Orpheus Healing Arts Institute, an umbrella organization offering holistic group experiences.     

I believe that the overarching purpose of therapeutic work is to become mindful of our challenges, negotiate life passages, and discover the innate wisdom that we all possess. 

I have been called to this agenda most of my life. The range of my work is wide, as are the psyches of the men and women whom I serve. I am a graduate of John F. Kennedy’s Transpersonal Counseling Psychology master’s program, and I have worked with those in need for over thirty years in private practice.  I have taught dream work, therapeutic process and healing techniques from various cultural traditions at Matthew Fox’s Naropa University, Holy Names University, and related graduate schools throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
