Therapy can bring a few quick benefits, then longterm change. Meds can have minimal side effects. I appreciate and welcome people from all walks of life. My training at Yale and the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, and over 25 years of experience, will be a part of every session. I also have areas of special expertise. At UCLA, I trained in the Mood and Anxiety Programs, and started San Francisco's first OCD Program in the '90's. I taught brief therapies for a decade at the Univ of New Mexico. I have a dual career as an author, and experience working with artists and creatives.
