My clinical services are provided as a licensed psychologist in California (PSY22096), specializing in behavioral medicine and health psychology.

Since 1986 I have provided clinical services in a variety of medical, psychiatric, and psychological settings, primarily as a Masters level psychophysiological therapist. After working for several years in academia and non-profit sectors following my Ph.D. in psychology in 2001, I returned to providing direct clinical services in 2004 and subsequently completed three years of supervised medical psychology training in an interdisciplinary medical clinic setting.

My clinical experience encompasses anxiety, mood, and sleep disorders; pain and stress management; and existential-humanistic and transpersonal counseling. I am nationally certified in biofeedback and applied psychophysiology (BCIAC3105).

Those who wish to see me for treatment of medical conditions (pain, insomnia, tinnitus, etc.) are recommended to have a referral from their primary care or primary treating physician to facilitate third-party reimbursement. I accept Medicare and am an out-of-network provider on most insurance plans.

Clinical services include:

Biofeedback training: Learning to modify physiological responses and to relax more effectively can resolve many dysfunctional patterns, including insomnia, worry, pain, or difficulties with focus and attention.

Behavioral health counseling: Working together we develop a strategy to resolve current health challenges and prevent their recurrence using a combination of holistic and conventional techniques that you learn to apply in your daily activities.

Behavioral medicine: Behavioral treatment for diagnosed medical conditions can improve your functioning and your quality of life, while assisting you in minimizing medication needs.

Psychological services: Cognitive and psychological testing as well as individual psychotherapy for emotional, psychiatric, or psychological issues can identify personal strengths and weaknesses, assist you in recovery, and help you optimize your daily functioning.
