For more than 40 years, I have helped individuals, couples, and families in Australia and the United States create healthier, more meaningful lives. My career has included serving as Director of a Family Therapy Program in Sydney, Australia, and later working with the Family Institute at Northwestern University.
As both a psychotherapist and an author, I believe you are the main character in your life story. Every meaningful story includes adversity, but adversity does not have to define the ending. Many of the beliefs we carry about ourselves were learned long ago. When those old scripts no longer serve us, they can keep us trapped in anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or self-doubt. My passion is helping people rewrite those scripts so they can create lives of greater freedom, connection, and purpose.
My approach combines practical tools with deep personal exploration. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, relationship skills, clinical hypnosis, coaching, and other evidence-based approaches, I tailor therapy to your unique needs. Together, we’ll identify the patterns keeping you stuck, develop practical strategies for change, and create a clear roadmap for lasting growth.
My commitment to this work is both professional and personal. Growing up in a home affected by domestic violence and family dysfunction taught me how deeply early experiences shape our lives. It also inspired my lifelong commitment to healing. I draw upon both my own journey and four decades of clinical experience to help others find their way home—to love, resilience, and inner peace.
Today I live in Southern California, where I counsel clients, write books, speak internationally, and teach personal growth. I’m also the grateful father of two adult children and four grandchildren, who remind me every day that each new chapter offers another opportunity to grow.
