History
I began providing therapy services to individuals, groups, couples and families in 1980 in San Francisco and became fully licensed in 1986. In the beginning my focus was on Eating Disorders and Relationship Problems (dating, pre-marital, happily-married, considering-divorce). I have continued my focus on Couples Counseling and now I am enjoying and sharing the expertise gained from decades of helping hundreds of couples, many from mixed cultural backgrounds. I see a long term relationship as a 'long conversation' and I encourage open, honest, present-moment communication while fully understanding that in our hearts we also consider the past and think about the future.
