I have been treating anxiety disorders since 1987. I came to the specialty because of my own issues with panic and anxiety and I was determined to turn this “pathology” into a path and follow it to help myself and others. I am eclectic in my approach and interactive in my style. I see anxiety as a social, psychological and spiritual challenge. Because of it we can either be tormented or stretched to our highest potential and awareness.

I am interested in doing deep authentic work with people to help them get to the meaning of their fears as a way of conquering them. Expect behavioral, cognitive, psychological, spiritual and social changes as you recover. Don’t expect to be “cured” overnight. I’ll present you with tools and tips, but the real work will come from your determination and belief in your own highest possibilities. I am very interested in working with people who will do the work, go deep and stay the course. Discover yourself, your authentic self, and in so doing, heal your anxiety and your life.

Treatment Modalities: Psychodynamic depth work. Cognitive/Behavioral techniques EMDR for truama resolution and elimination of limiting negetive thought patterns Hypnotherapy meditation, breath work and visualization

Insurance Accepted: Because I am a licensed clinician, your PPO or fee for service insurance should cover my services as an “out of plan provider”. The amount of coverage depends on what plan you have purchased. I do not participate in HMO or PPO panels for reasons that I would be happy to discuss should you wish.

Fee Schedule:: My fees are customary and reasonable for the San Francisco Bay Area and comensurate with my training and experience. I do not offer a sliding scale but I do have an intern who works with me for reduced fees.
