About me
I have been licensed for over 40 years as a licensed marriage and family therapist working with most area of mental health using most therapies and tools refined for each individual since we are all unique.
This is my passion and my clients feel at ease with me quickly with my empathy and humor. I help relationship stress, anxiety, PTSD, neurodiversity, grief, recovery from child and narcissistic abuse, finding their true authentic self and passion. I use client-centered Rogers, Kohut, EMDR, Beck and Ellis CBT, DBT. ACT, Jung... I am a Christian and I also respect people with other faiths or no faith. I help therapists, interns...I am 72 years old and I have been married for 48 years to my beautiful wife singer Christina Purcell and we did individual and couple therapy too. We write songs such as the songs on her CD "Love's Calling."
I am a very easy person to trust and share things that people have often never shared with anyone before. I have a great sense of humor. I am very empathic. I bring my own authentic self to the client. I have been licensed since 1984. As everyone is unique, I fine tune a combination of most treatment methods. I am continually training in new treatments and I really enjoy the inner work with my clients who deal with most issues from regression through PTSD, child abuse, trauma bonding and narcissism abuse to neurodiversity and ADHD.
I enjoy my work with individuals and couples on almost every issue. I am excited to see people on Tik Tok doing Shadow inner work in depth therapy to discover their true self, passion, self-development and issues. I take Carelon besides Anthem Blue Cross- Blue Shield. I do a sliding scale fee from $300 down to $150/ hour as I am more committed to the person's growth than the money.
