Experienced Mental Health Therapy & Consultation in San Francisco
Since 1989, I have dedicated my career to advancing the art and practice of psychotherapy. My approach integrates the existential-humanistic methods of James Bugental with the interpersonal insights of Irvin Yalom, creating a dynamic framework for fostering client growth. Through online consultation groups, I train therapists to master here-and-now techniques, using role-play and session analysis to deepen their clinical skills. My practice extends beyond individual therapy to include international group sessions that leverage real-time feedback for interpersonal development. As founder of Psychotherapy.net, I have produced over 100 training videos that demonstrate effective therapeutic practices.My work balances clinical rigor with creative expression, informed by decades of experience and a commitment to evolving the field through education and innovation. I maintain a small online practice while also offering home office sessions in San Anselmo, ensuring accessibility for clients and professionals alike.
