PSYCHOTHERAPY
ONLINE PSYCHOTHERAPY AND MENTORING
I have had a rich journey through some fifty years of spiritual practice and engaging in and learning from many forms of psychotherapy. Like many people today, my journey has not conformed to older rather categories of religious doctrine or psychological theories.
I was raised Methodist, practiced as a Zen Buddhist monk for ten years, and now follow a spiritual tradition that integrates psychology and contemplation. My graduate studies in psychology at the University of Santa Monica were based on a spiritually oriented eclectic path that included many different schools of psychology and worked in a framework of Forgiveness, Release of Limiting Beliefs and Loving Connection to Self and others.
Now my Psychotherapy approach includes the practices of Mindfulness, Self Compassion, and Somatic Awareness. I have a strong focus on helping those who experienced some form of neglect, trauma or abuse in childhood, which embraces many skills, including EFT or Tapping as ways to heal traumatic memories.

Welcome To The Journey Of Your True Self
Spiritual Mentoring, sometimes called Spiritual Direction in the Christian tradition or Spiritual Friendship in others, is like accompanying someone searching for something that can’t be seen by their regular way of seeing things. What is needed is a new Way of seeing and experiencing. Often what we have taken for granted in our life as “the truth”, turns out to be a pale reflection of what actually is the Truth.
This Is A Group To Let Yourself Feel Free To Be Really You
IRL: “In Real Life” Is a group for learning how to get the most out of your Life. Technology is taking us more and more out of the physical world and is not always our best option for how we spend our precious time.
This is a group for learning how to overcome and meet the challenges that Life is throwing at us every day now. Come learn with us how to be your own best friend, how to relate to others more effectively and to move into a more positive loving outlook on Life.

“We pray for the equanimity to accept those things we cannot change, the courage to change what we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” –Twelve Step Prayer
Join us for an enriching and empowering small group experience that will support you in finding more meaning and value in your relationships, your work / vocation and your spiritual life. This is a group where you can feel safe with other men, to be open and honest about the challenges and successes in your life. This is the kind of band of brothers you wish you had always had who have your back!
From Darkness We Move Out Into The Light
Those of us who have experienced trauma, either from a recent event or from childhood abuse, know the disorienting feeling of having their brains emotionally highjacked by something outside of their power to control. This can feel very disempowering and discouraging to us when we have tried so hard to calm ourselves but find that we are triggered over and over again into high states of anxiety and anger.
Heal. Grow and to thrive. Learn to love and be loved more fully. Open up to your potential to have better lives, and a place to find meaning and purpose and your calling in life.
“Tell me, what is your plan for your one wild and precious life? “ - Mary Oliver
Have you ever felt like there must be something more to life than what you are currently experiencing? Perhaps you have had times when your you have experienced your life opening up to new possibilities but you don’t know how to keep the momentum going. Or maybe you have had some pretty hard experiences in childhood and need further support in healing and moving beyond them.
“Spirituality is a rich and sometimes paradoxical endeavor in finding what we really are: pure loving consciousness.
We can have all kinds of spiritual highs and still not be able to bring our liberated self fully into real life. There are often personality issues that still need to be addressed in Shadow Work.”
- Robert Kando Cornell, LMFT
