About Me

I typically treat patients with long-standing difficulties in their life. They have usually made numerous attempts to resolve internal distress and conflict in relationships with varying degrees of success.

I am honored that people choose to consult with me and trust me with the most intimate part of themselves: their thoughts and feelings. 

​

When I'm not at the office, I relax by skiing, playing tennis, swimming, biking, reading, and taking up any hobby involving bright colors and a "How-to" kit. I am a Mid-Westerner who wandered over to the West Coast. I grew up caring for livestock, baking cookies, and creating 4-H projects for the county fair. My roots are in honesty and hard work.
