Hi there, I'm Mark!
I have a doctorate in clinical psychology, and I have many years of experience. While most of my work is/has been from a cognitive and behavioral framework, I am not foreign to family systems and to a lesser degree psychoanalytic perspectives. I live in San Francisco's North Bay region, and I now practice statewide via telehealth on this platform.
My focus
I have worked with children and families as a school psychologist in local communities and also as a clinical psychologist with the State of California, doing diagnostic assessments. Most of my work, consequently, has been in death, dying, HIV, grief, depression, PTSD, stress, anxiety, and systems and couples work.
My approach
I am rather eclectic in my approach to therapy. I like to start where the client is. I typically view clients through a lens I call the "intrapsychic" core, assessing and applying more psychoanalytic or ego psychology methods. From there, I move outward to a more cognitive/behavioral level, where I can apply cognitive and behavioral techniques.
