Psychotherapist:
Family & Individual Counseling | Alameda, CA

For 31 years now I have been a licensed mental health provider and I specialize in being a licensed marital and family therapist. However, my expertise goes beyond just being a licensed marital and family therapist for I have had additional doctoral training in clinical psychology working with a diverse population with several areas of expertise.

Counseling, Psychotherapy, Consultation, and Psychoeducation.

I incorporate all four of these domains in my work. Depending on the person(s), the issue, and the situation. one or more of these domains may be more dominant than the others.

The current research(search it) indicates that telehealth services are as effective as in-person therapy. In the initial COVID pandemic, I was unsure, but after a few months, it became clear that I was as effective as a therapist as I was in person.

About Me

Aside from my training and experience as a psychotherapist and consultant, I keep myself informed to the current social, cultural and political zeitgeists as these have a real impact on our day to day living.

In addition to this it is important to me that I stay up to date with the latest approaches in mental health and social living to provide service with exceptional knowledge of modern day insight.

Services

Back in the day I would hear people say, ”I don’t read the papers, watch television or listen to the radio.” Fast forward to present day, and now we are living in a period of time where technology and media have become a part of societies daily life. Today, technology has permeated our existence, if not invaded our daily lives.

Technology is driven by things that we are not always aware of such as commercialism, popular trends, social and political agendas. In turn, we sometimes feel bombarded by too much information and disturbing information that negatively contributes to our day to day problematic lives.

A COVID-19 Note from March 17, 2020

As soon as I heard that shelter and place were coming, I knew that in-person sessions were gone, and I immediately began researching how to begin my telehealth practice. Once that was in place I worried how many of my current clients would transfer to this modality. I felt optimistic, as so many of the current generation of clients were already hooked into their phones, that the transition should not be too difficult. However, that less tech-savvy might abandon the whole prospect of doing therapy over an internet device.

In the first week, I lost about 10%, in the second week another 20%, plus the referrals for new clients dropped to almost zero. Lucky for me I had been in the habit of overbooking my weeks for the last several months that the drop in clients actually gave me a sane number of clients to see. I was also grateful that so many of my clients have continued to work with me once their initial problems or crises were significantly resolved or impacted.
