After receiving my master's and doctoral degrees from Case Western Reserve University, I completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Sheppard-Pratt Psychiatric Hospital and moved to San Francisco.

During my career at Kaiser-Permanente Psychiatry providing brief therapy, I developed best practices for anxiety disorders, wrote the first regional Health Education class on Managing Anxiety, trained post-doctoral psychology fellows, created numerous therapy groups, and taught clinical hypnosis. I also wrote 4 books on coping with lymphedema and frequently speak on a variety of topics.

Using treatment approaches supported by research and clinical experience, I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals.
