I am a Marriage Family Therapist licensed in the State of California since 1985. I have spent most of my career working in community behavioral health clinics, so I have treated a variety of different conditions and challenges. The past eleven years I was the director of two rural county wide systems for behavioral health care. Currently I am interested in working with adults who may be experiencing a sense of loss of meaning in life and are looking for a renewed sense of purpose. I can also supply support to persons seeking a spiritual path. I am trained in Person Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Jungian Archetypes with dream analysis as a guide to new directions. I have a daily yoga and meditation practice as a way to recharge my energy. I have been married for 43 years, and have three young grandsons. I enjoy working in my small apple farm.
