Depth-oriented online therapy for individuals, couples, and adult families in California.

I work with people facing complex relationship patterns, trauma, anxiety, burnout, family conflict, and consequential life decisions. Many of my clients are driven people carrying significant responsibility, including professionals, executives, founders, parents, and partners trying to find their way back to each other.

After more than 20 years practicing psychotherapy, I am comfortable with complexity, intensity, and situations where several things are true at once. I care, challenge, and provoke in ways that help people understand what keeps repeating, practice something different, and make meaningful changes.
