Behavioral Disorders Doctors in California

What if you could stop self-sabotaging behaviors, end those debilitating patterns that keep

repeating over and over again and finally find some peace? What if you started to imagine

living a life filled with hope instead of one hobbled by self-doubt and pain?

My practice is called "Finding Strength Within" because I believe therapy is a powerful process

which can lead you to a place of self-acceptance, understanding and ultimately, greater

relationship happiness and life success. As a former coach of Olympic athletes, I have a

particular perspective on finding and developing a solid self as the basis for healthy

interpersonal relationships.

I generally approach therapy by looking at the unconscious processes at the root of emotional

pain. I also look at the influences of environmental, biological and psychological elements of

early relationships and link those experiences to current issues so that you can increase awareness

and ultimately, make new, healthier choices. I let you come to your own decisions and

awareness in your own time. I am not a "head nodder," however, I do give feedback and

will work collaboratively with you on a treatment plan from the first session.

If you are ready to move beyond suffering the debilitating pain and repeating patterns that

rule your life, I am ready to help you. By finding strength within, you will face each new

challenge with renewed strength, emotional flexibility and joy. I look forward to working with

you on your journey towards mental health.

My patients who have a religious orientation also express appreciation that I can understand where they are coming from when topics arise involving their religious beliefs. While I work with people from all walks of life, I specialize in helping those who profess religious faith and who may be apprehensive about not having their faith understood or respected.

This is what sets the work I do apart from most of psychotherapists. I am well trained in the disciplines of psychology and theology . I strive to integrate insights gained from psychoanalytic psychology with Christian theology. Very few psychologists or psychoanalysts are comfortable working in the intersection of psychology and the Christian faith. However, healthy living and a religious walk of faith are not incompatible -- they help define and compliment one another.
