| I have over 20 years of experience working as a licensed clinical psychologist working both here in San Francisco and in New York City. I believe in working collaboratively to resolve your issues as quickly as possible. I will work with you to achieve practical, real life solutions to your problems so that you can feel better in as little time as possible. I also maintain relationships with psychiatrists in the area should you need medication. I am skilled in many types of psychotherapy, including cognitive therapy. I trained many years ago with the psychiatrist who is considered the gold standard of cognitive therapy, Dr. David Burns, M.D., and am considered quite competent in practicing the original form of this technique. We will work together to decide which style of treatment will work best for you and will start there. If at any point we agree that a particular type of therapy is not achieving your desired results, we will change our strategy. I particularly enjoy working with young women who are confused around the complex issues of relationships, career, and self-image. I understand the challenges that women in our current environment face and am proficient in helping them see and put into action choices that will result in meeting goals and achieving a happier, more fulfilling future. I also have a great deal of experience in working with adults who achieved professional and financial success early in life, only to find themselves depressed and unfulfilled. I assist these young adults in setting and attaining new goals, which ultimately results in experiencing the contentment and "happiness" they expected and long for. |

If you have a PPO or POS plan I will provide a statement that will allow you to seek reimbursement. Payment can be made in either cash, check or credit cards. |
