I am a San Francisco bay area psychotherapist with over forty years of experience in the field of depth psychology and human consciousness.

I am the author of Surviving the Storm: A Workbook for Telling Your Cancer Story (Oxford University Press, 2017) and Psychosocial Care of Cancer Survivors: A Clinician’s Guide and Workbook for Providing Wholehearted Care (Oxford University Press, 2018).

My latest book, Odyssey of Ashes: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Letting Go was published in July 2021.

I was honored to receive the 2022 Distinguished Public Service Award from the American Psychosocial Oncology Society (APOS).

I live with my personal assistant, a cat named Amie.
