I am known for working well with individuals who are shy and who may be fearful of entering therapy.
I have a specialization in the diagnosis/assessment and treatment of AD/HD and learning disorders such as dyslexia. My therapeutic approach is primarily cognitive behavioral. Pragmatism describes my approach to treatment.
Management of chronic mental illness, and adjustment issues relating to ethnic/cultural/generational and religious issues are also areas which I specialize in. I believe that at times addressing questions pertaining to meaning in life can be as important as changing behavioral patterns and emotions.
I view individuals wholistically and within their environmental and social context. Specific treatment modalities I use are ultimately dependent upon the needs of each individual and the established scientific efficacy of a particular therapeutic intervention. I will be happy to work in conjunction with a psychiatrist or other physician.
I work as Learning Disabilities Specialist at Santa Monica College. I have assisted students in receiving testing accommodations on the SAT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, Bar Exam, MCAT, and DAT. I have worked as a LD Specialist at UCLA, the University of Hawaii, and UC Berkeley. I was a Psychology Professor for over 12 years.
