I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology in 1988, and I was licensed as a clinical psychologist in California in 1990 (PSY11837).  As part of my training, I completed internships at Pomona Valley Family Services and the California Institute of Technology, in the Student Counseling Center.  I remained there for my post-doctoral work, at which time I began my private practice, in Pasadena.  I continued to work part-time at Caltech as Staff Psychologist for 12 years, spending 10 of those as the Director of Training for their pre-doctoral program.

            For additional professional education, I have pursued specific training in Mindfulness Practices, Contemporary Psychoanalytic Therapy,  Jungian Psychology, and the Clinical Implications of Psychopharmacology.

            I have also offered training, for public and professional audiences, in Relaxation, Meditation, and Stress Reduction Techniques; Working with Dreams; Sexual and Gender Identity; Treating the Intellectually Gifted; and a number of other topics.
