Licensed Psychologist

“To Success Personally, Professionally, Sexually and on the Golf COurse!”

About Me

I guide individuals to achieve greater success and well-being in all aspects of life. Whether you aim to flourish personally, advance professionally, deepen intimate relationships, or enhance your performance on the golf course, we can explore effective strategies. My approach helps you build mental resilience and clarity. Clients discover practical tools to navigate challenges and consistently reach their unique goals.

Approach

Success across life domains shapes how I structure therapy: focused, practical sessions that move quickly from insight to action. In my La Jolla office or via secure online meetings we blend compassionate exploration with targeted techniques—short, collaborative experiments in session, brief hypnosis when helpful, and clear between-session tasks to build momentum. Sessions are paced to respect busy lives while tackling deep patterns tied to mood, relationships, abuse, or sexual concerns. People seeking clearer choices and steady progress tend to find this approach effective.
