ABOUT ME
For the last fifteen years, my work as a Jungian psychotherapist has been central to my life. I came to the practice of psychotherapy in midlife, so I bring with me not only my training and clinical experience, but my larger life experience as a man.
For thirteen years I was Executive Director of the CG Jung Institute of San Francisco. As a priest in the order of Dominican friars, I was a pastor, teacher and counselor; in community nonprofits, I have served people with substance abuse and with HIV. I have taught high school, adult ed and university students.
Undertaking the additional schooling, the several years' training and rigorous testing required to become licensed as a marriage and family therapist (MFT) in California allowed me to re-configure my past history in education, religion and pastoral care, management and community service into another vocational form: as a psychotherapist.
CREDENTIALS
I am licensed by the State of California to practice as an MFT, a Marriage and Family Therapist (License #37350).
Licensing as an MFT required a graduate degree in psychology from an approved school, 3000 hours of supervised clinical experience, and passing both a written and an oral examination. At least 36 hours of continuing education courses, always including a course in ethics, are required for each biennial renewal of this license.

I hold an MA in psychology from the Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara. My other education includes a BA from Columbia University in New York, an MA and a PhD in special religious studies from the University of Toronto, and an MDiv in pastoral care from St. Michael's College in Toronto.
