I earn a living sitting in a comfortable chair talking with people about the most important issues in their lives.


That’s my canned response for “what do you do?” It may be a bit simplified, but it captures how I feel each morning coming to work. I'm honored to be a part of my clients' world and privileged to use my training to help people.


In college I was a youth worker who decided to take some psychology courses so I could better help the kids with their breakups, parent’s divorces and teenage angst. This budding interest morphed into a major and several years of graduate school. My education at Fuller entailed a master’s in theology en route to a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, a perfect meld of my mutual interests.


I was trained at the LA County/USC Medical Center, Wright Institute Los Angeles and Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute, and was fortunate to teach courses at Glendale College and Pepperdine University’s graduate school. I’ve been Clinical Professor for Fuller’s Graduate School of Psychology since 2002, supervising graduate student clinicians with their clients. I’ve been a psychotherapist since 1997 while pursuing mutual interests in music and writing. In 2007 I co-authored a sex manual for Christian men entitled What Wives Wish their Husbands Knew About Sex and I've recently started writing a blog for the Psychology Today website titled In Therapy. Psychotherapy remains my primary focus.
