I earned a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology and am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist in California. I have been working in the mental health field beginning in 1994 and have a professional background including positions as Clinical Director of an Outpatient County Mental Health Clinic and Social Service Counseling Center. I currently provide psychological counseling services to law students at a local law school and to various graduate and undergraduates as a Staff Psychotherapist. I believe so much in the power of tapping as well as energy psychology techniques as an all around way to heal trauma and other issues we all struggle with. My other areas of clinical interests include trauma/trauma response, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), interpersonal / developmental growth issues, panic disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, and chronic mental health conditions. Additional areas of particular counseling interests are adjustments associated with transitioning into high pressured academic graduate programs and specializing in working with law students in the JD and other law school related programs. Additional professional experience includes utilization and application of EFT tapping, various energy psychology /mindfulness based techniques, sports psychology and performance enhancement. I'm a certified practitioner in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). My theoretical perspective and approach is integrative, based on EFT, Energy Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic approaches while incorporating a base in an overall Humanistic framework.
