Pacific Depth Psychology — Telehealth Psychotherapy in California

Welcome. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have built successful lives yet recognize something important no longer feels aligned or are exploring their next level of functioning. Often they have utilized prior therapy for navigating career development, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, professional burnout, trauma, or a major life transition, and want the fresh mature perspective I offer. The very strategies that once helped us succeed begin to limit how fully we can live. Simply, I've found many people come to therapy not because they are broken, but because they sense there is more of themselves waiting to emerge.

Even highly successful people can find themselves repeating familiar patterns of over-functioning, self-criticism, emotional distance, or chronic striving. These patterns once served an important purpose. Therapy offers an opportunity to understand them with compassion while developing greater freedom, resilience, and authenticity.

For nearly three decades, I've worked as a counselor, psychologist, educator, and clinical leader in managerial and executive roles, helping people navigate their personal growth, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, and naturally questions of meaning and purpose. My approach combines thoughtful dialogue with practical psychological and behavioral change, drawing from contemporary psychotherapy, attachment science, parts work, mindful awareness, Depth/Jungian psychology, clinical hypnosis, and decades of lived clinical experience. I sincerely value careful listening, thoughtful questions, and practical insight that extends beyond symptom relief toward lasting, profound change.

Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is direct and combines intellectual depth with genuine warmth, curiosity, and a willingness to creatively and flexibly engage life's larger questions when they naturally arise. I provide a place of presence to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and discover new ways of living that are both psychologically grounded and deeply authentic. I have learned through decades of moment to moment work with people that profound change occurs not simply by solving problems but by developing a fundamentally different relationship with ourselves and our experience.
