Keith blends Jungian ideas with acceptance-based and attachment-focused approaches. He pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships and to the personal meanings people carry.
Background and approach
Sessions often include noticing thoughts, identifying values, and practicing small behavior changes that fit daily life. He has spent decades listening to adults, couples, and parents who face grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or career strain. That experience informs how he helps people sort conflicting feelings, set boundaries, and repair communication.
He also brings experience helping people cope with intimacy issues, anger, and commitment concerns. His style is grounded and conversational. Conversations aim to be clear and useful rather than academic.
Clients work together with him to set goals and try practical steps between sessions. Keith accepts clients from California and beyond and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Online support
Approach-informed online therapy that fits your life
Keith draws on Jungian ideas to notice recurring life themes and personal meaning, which can help when people feel stuck or puzzled by repeating relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to clarify what matters most and to practice small actions that align with those values, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.The right approach often emerges through trying a few methods together. Keith treats the process as a collaboration - he listens to goals and preferences, explains options, and adjusts the mix of Jungian exploration, ACT exercises, or attachment-focused work based on what helps the person move forward.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more practical. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exploration. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send thoughts between sessions or check in when schedules are tight. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent with day-to-day life.
