ACT/CBS Background and Training: I am a clinical psychologist, Episcopal priest, Buddhist practitioner, and a student of Advaita Vedanta who has been integrating psychological theory and practice with spirituality, including mindfulness and self-compassion, for the past thirty years. My work has closely paralleled ACT. Over the past decade, I have developed my expertise in ACT by first doing graduate work in ACT at Alliant International University, CSPP-SF; by attending ACT trainings with Steven Hayes, co-founder of ACT (ACT I and II; ACT BootCamp); by reading ACT books and journal articles; and by watching videos of ACT used in psychotherapy. I also have a mentor in professional psychology who has been teaching ACT at the graduate level at CSPP-SF since its inception.
I attend my ACT Chapter: Bay Area meetings regularly where we consult on cases and receive ACT trainings from expert ACT psychotherapists.

Additional Information: As a licensed psychologist skilled in providing psychotherapy that addresses the full spectrum of human experience, I collaborate with you to attain healing and resolution of your problems, advance in your growth and transformation, and increasingly realize your potential. I facilitate the integration of your sense of identity, purpose, and values with the way you live your daily life to endow it with greater authenticity and deeper meaning. I assist you in the creation of a more peaceful, happy, and fulfilling life.
As an Episcopal priest and Buddhist practitioner, I foster your spiritual development and worldly integration. I enjoy working with people from diverse spiritual and religious traditions, agnosticism, secular humanism, and atheism.
No single psychotherapy approach is right for everyone all the time. Therefore, I have training in a variety of psychotherapy methods in addition to ACT: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Control Mastery Theory, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
In addition, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the Flash Technique, which is a powerful adjunct to ACT and is used to successfully treat trauma survivors (including adult survivors of childhood emotional, sexual, and physical abuse, and neglect; and adult victims of sexual assault and interpersonal violence), and people experiencing anxiety, depression, avoidance, perfectionism, and many other challenges of life.
I am a preferred provider for the following insurance companies: Blue Shield, Blue Shield Magellan, Blue Shield, Cigna, First Health Network, Health Advocate, Kaiser, Managed Health Network (MHN), and Medicare.
MY PRACTICE IS FULL and I AM NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME.
