Summary

  • My areas of interest and expertise include treatment of resistant conditions in psychiatry and chronic pain. I will be happy to help you with management of difficult patients by assuming the management of their psychotropic and pain medications. I also have extensive experience in management of geriatric patients. Advanced, goal oriented psychotherapy is available in my office and is facilitated by doctoral level psychologists. Medical psychotherapy has proven to be an essential part of recovery in patients with chronic pain conditions. Therapy is available in English and Spanish. Neuropsychological evaluations and neurocognitive rehabilitation are offered in our two Bay Area offices. Transcranial magnetic stimulation and hyperbaric oxygenation are available at our Richmond office.

    We presently see patients in San Mateo, CA and Richmond, CA. Med-legal evaluations and expert witness testimony are available throughout the State of California.
