I am a licensed psychotherapist and writing coach who practices in my office in Cupertino, California and virtually, around the world.

I specialize in helping people overcome creative blocks and achieve deep personal transformation through the use of writing.

My work integrates traditional therapies with state-of-the-art techniques in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), hypnosis, gestalt therapy, and the expressive arts.

I have been working with individuals, couples and stepfamilies in private practice since 1982.

In one-on-one sessions in person or by phone, I offer support, encouragement and a gentle structure to help you bring your personal writing into greater focus and clarity. Working with me, you will experience acceptance, guidance, and nourishment for your work as a writer. This is a wonderful antidote to the solitude of writing.

This multifaceted coaching program is tailored for highly motivated people seeking specific breakthrough results. I have designed the Coach Approach to help you:

1. Clarify your personal or professional goals
2. Unblock what’s keeping you from accomplishing these goals
3. Commit yourself to a specific step-by-step plan of action to achieve your goals

You’ll learn simple and engaging tools in a private program customized to your personality and your specific needs.

My psychotherapy practice promotes personal growth and development for individuals, couples, and stepfamilies. In an eclectic weaving of traditional and state-of-the-art therapy techniques, I incorporate traditional psychotherapeutic techniques with hypnotherapy, gestalt therapy, the expressive arts (especially writing), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
