As a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience and a Dual PhD in Clinical and Industrial-Organizational Psychologist, I am recognized by Wikipedia as a 21st century American Psychologist. But titles and credentials are only part of the story. What matters most is this: I can help you manage anxiety, irritability or anger, depression, panic attacks, racing thoughts, PTSD, ADHD, eating disorders, insomnia, relationship conflict, substance abuse, or self-injury. Unlike traditional therapy that focuses on the past, we focus on the present to change unproductive thoughts, manage emotions, and create healthy habits.
As the founder of Tri-Valley Psychotherapy, I have advanced training in both Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as postdoctoral expertise in personality disorders, self-injury, and suicidality. I conduct psychological testing for adult & child ADHD, and have a blog followed worldwide by over 40,000 people.
My experience is with the U.S. Naval Medical Center: Department of Internal Medicine, Wells Fargo Corporate Headquarters: Department of Risk Management, California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation, Scripps Hospital Partial Hospitalization Program - San Diego, & Pomerado Hospital Outpatient Psychiatry. (My CA Lic. Number is PSY20050)
