Two years clinical psychologist with the California Department of Corrections and rehabilitation in a ca. state prison. 22 years member of a Pediatric Medical group treating all family members Completed a Two-year clinical training internship with the Department of Psychiatry, UCSD School of Medicine, San Diego, Ca.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I understand seeking professional help to manage various difficulties in life is often very difficult for both men and women. Individuals and/or couples willing to risk becoming emotionally vulnerable, willing to confront thier fears and recognize the need for therapy will benefit.
