Practice and Philosophy

Practice Description
My practice involves mostly assessment and treatment of adults ages 35 and older. Individuals 34 and younger with medical problems are also treated. The practice is divided among existential psychotherapy, behavioral medicine, presurgical psychological screenings, and marital therapy. Specialties include sleep disorders, chronic pain, trauma, depression, anxiety, infertility, psychosomatic disorders, infidelity, and midlife concerns. Treatment modalities include psychotherapy, marital therapy, and clinical hypnosis. I am also on the
graduate doctoral psychology faculty at the University of La Verne and the clinical faculty as an Adjunct Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Loma Linda University School of Medicine. Finally, I am on staff at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center and Casa Colina Hospital for Rehabilitative Medicine.

Philosophy
work with people who are distressed about their lives and want to make their lives more satisfying. My hope is that each person with whom I work wants to be more of the kind of person they feel they can be but haven’t yet been able to be. In doing so, each person can become genuinely close with important others and be able to get past their own invisible barriers. For most of us, there is more awaiting us inside ourselves that can push us to live fuller, richer, and more rewarding lives.
