About Me

WHO AM I?

MY JOURNEY: 30 years ago, I was told that the small lump on the back of my neck was cancerous. I had four months to live. The finest doctors at UCLA and USC told me the same thing: I had a 100% chance of dying if I didn’t have major surgery removing one quarter of my skull. I didn’t have the surgery. I healed myself. 30 years later, I am completely healthy. This became a blueprint for healing trauma.

LIVE FULLY: I have run marathons and triathlons. I have bicycled triple centuries. I have lived in Brazil, Switzerland and India. I have bungee jumped in India and river rafted in Bhutan, I have climbed mountains around the world. I have been skydiving 12 times. I’ve had a radio show and a TV show. I have produced movies and I have written books. I have lived my dreams. Because of this, I know that you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to.

The Work

PSYCHOTHERAPY: I’m a licensed Marriage, Family and Child Therapist (MFT) with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. I’m trained in humanistic psychology, body-centered therapy, emotional intelligence and energy medicine. I studied indigenous healing in South America. I worked one-on-one with Ram Das on Maui. I have worked with some of the greatest healers on the planet.

HOLISTIC HEALING: I have traveled the world extensively, studying mental health in other countries and cultures. I have faced and healed my own core traumas dating back to birth and conception. I have integrated holistic, indigenous and quantum approaches into a holistic system called SOURCE WORK.

SOURCE WORK: The energy body doesn’t lie. Body-centered therapy combined with energy medicine is gentle, deep and incredibly effective. I am in awe of the transformations I see every day. I truly believe that this work can heal the planet. Call my office for more information. (831) 332-4421

Insurance

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: Insurance companies require therapists to diagnose their clients with a “mental disorder”. This is the law. A therapist who fails to diagnose you with a mental health disorder can lose their license. Once a disorder is on your record, however, it’s there. People have been denied job opportunities because of a mental health diagnosis that they received years earlier.

INSURANCE: I do not take insurance for this and for other reasons. My experience is that, therapy is deeply compromised by these protocols. The good news is, this work is more time-efficient and transformative then typical therapy.
