I am open, approachable, and committed to listening carefully to your experiences without judgment. I believe that each person carries a unique story, and my goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and encouraged as you navigate life’s challenges and opportunities for growth. Together, we can explore what is most important to you and work toward creating a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and aligned with your values.

My background includes earning a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, along with a lifelong appreciation for personal growth, nature, and the healing power of connection. Growing up learning to surf fostered a deep respect for the ocean and the lessons it offers about resilience, balance, and adapting to life's changing conditions. These experiences have shaped my belief in the importance of honoring each individual’s journey and recognizing that growth often comes through both challenge and reflection.

Hi I'm Russell. I've been in practice since 1973. I began my professional work in Los Angeles Where I was a Child Welfare Worker in South Central. I found I had a strong affinity for therapeutic work, and I decided to apply for a graduate degree in Social Work. I earned my license in 1979 which has afforded me the opportunity to work with many people.

What ever your needs I will encourage the client to relax in a none judgmental atmosphere that is their

place to be heard and safe to be themself.

I went to India to learn how to meditate when I was 23 yrs old. That was 54 yrs ago. I still meditate every day

and it was a turning point for me.

I got married when I was 40 yrs old to a women that had 3 sons. We were a bended family. The boys are adults now with their own families. We have been together for 35 yrs.

I graduated from UCLA and became a carpenter and cabinet maker.I worked in people houses for months sometimes. I saw a lot of families and saw how they lived.I got to know them and some were friends.

When I was 38 rs old I went back to grad school

to get a license to be a therapist.

Every client is an opportunity to meet someone on the path to be more of we real are.
