I am a Clinical Psychologist (PhD) licensed in the state of CA, and I have been in private practice since 1992. Prior to that, I served on active duty in the US Navy as a psychologist and the clinical director of the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Service at the Naval Hospital in Long Beach, CA.  I am a certified Spiritual Director, and I am the author of God: A Relationship Guide, a memoir and how-to book for developing a spiritual life.

It is my life experience and ongoing personal journey, seeking to know myself and my world, that informs my book learning. I believe strongly in social justice and the basic goodness of each person.  It is this that I believe suits me to be of greatest service to those who come to me for help. I look forward to meeting you and partnering with you on your path to discovery and recovery, leading to belief in yourself and greater success in your life endeavors.
