As a psychotherapist practicing in Santa Cruz County for over 25 years, I began working primarily with chemical dependency and relational issues.  Over the years it has become clear to me that addiction in all it's many forms (alcohol, drugs, over-eating, addictive sex, etc.), generally originate in early life neglect and /or abuse.  

Without treating the inner self, the primary causes for our self-distortions remain, and the cycles of personal and interpersonal dysfunction remain as well.  My recent training has moved me toward the psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches for getting to these deepest levels of healing.


In order to determine if I can be of help to you, I m happy to talk with you on the phone before we set up an initial appointment.  I can be reached at 831.462.4466.
