Learn More
I was born and raised in San Diego in a large family with a father who was a nuclear physicist and a mother who was an artist and home-maker. I enjoyed body-surfing, biking, soccer, basketball, and even played semi-pro beach volleyball. I lived in Florida, Alaska, and Minnesota prior to returning to San Diego to be close with my family. I currently enjoy the arts, travel, gardening, swimming, gourmet cooking, and quality time with friends and family.
What Makes Me Uniquely Qualified
Holistic Approach
Today too many people rely on sleep medications for sleep and on caffeine and other stimulants for energy, none of which is optimal for our body and mind. Holistic psychology promotes healthy natural techniques to sound sleep and good energy without drugs and stimulants.
Extensive Background
I earned my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Miami and his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from San Diego State University. As an undergraduate, I worked at the Naval Medical Center San Diego Sleep Disorders Center and helped facilitate research with military personnel, focusing on insomnia and sleep research.
Therapeutic Treatment
As a Sleep Specialist, I will help you manifest sound sleep which dramatically improves your relationships, mood, concentration, performance, and quality of life. In collaboration with your medical provider, I successfully remove sleep drugs (which are harmful to your body and mind). My main therapeutic strategy is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
