About

I am a licensed Psychotherapist in California with over thirty-one years of clinical experience helping individuals and families. I have over eleven years’ experience as an instructor working at the Associate to Master level coursework at five Universities in the area. I work well with depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting issues, grief/loss, insomnia, addiction, trauma, physical/sexual/emotional abuse, OCD, bipolar, as well as personal growth, adjustment issues, and crisis. I utilize techniques from person-centered, solution/goal-focused, and cognitive-behavioral approaches in the therapy I deliver. I provide a judgment-free, safe and supportive experience. This means that I attempt to join with you “where you are at”. I believe that every behavior has a purpose and is an attempt to meet a need. It isn’t until we discover what that need is and find a “healthier” or more “productive” way of meeting that need that the behavior no longer is necessary and we find relief. I look forward to working with you -Jack
