I am a clinical psychologist in private practice, a Berkeley-certified executive coach, past president of the California Psychological Association and San Francisco Psychological Association, and chairperson of the clinical advisory board at I V Y Labs. I authored two chapters for the Men’s Health Book, 21st Century Man on Living with Vitality and Work-Life Balance.

In 2019, I received an Outstanding Member Award from the San Francisco Psychological Association. In 2024, the California Psychological Association recognized me with the Silver Psi Award for my leadership and contribution to sustainable change for the organization.

My credentials only tell part of the story about who I am and how I work with clients. I believe in walking the walk. I can’t help others live with passion and purpose without doing it myself. I invest in myself, my wellness, and my self-care so I can live a fully engaged life and thus serve as a guide to help you cultivate what that means and looks like for you.  I am truly honored to be a part of your journey. I take our work together very seriously and will draw from everything I have to help you.

Whether operating as a psychologist or a coach, I am significantly engaged in your change process. Your goals are my goals, and I am dedicated to helping you reach them. Change is hard, but it is genuinely possible through putting in the work and being intentional about your change process. We will collaborate to identify and remove obstacles that are in your way and develop an action plan to effect change. If we work together, our journey will foster personal and professional well-being. I won’t have it any other way. I will give my all to move you forward. We will examine your life, consider your dreams and aspirations, and set you on a path to making them a reality.

I really like people, and I always have. I am fortunate to enjoy what I do! I get to be curious and learn how people think, how they may feel, and what is working and not working for them. We talk, we listen, and we learn. We grow through the experience.

I am committed to helping you optimize your life. I believe the key factors in fostering a happy and healthy life are developing awareness, cognitive flexibility, identifying options, alternatives, and choices, living a balanced life, being authentic, and engaging in what has heart and meaning. I look forward to accompanying you on your wellness, success, and vitality journey.
