I am a medical doctor with specialty training in psychiatry and addiction medicine. I specialize in understanding the relationships between the psyche, the nervous system, and the endocrine system. To do this I draw on my medical education, study of current research, and over 35 years of martial arts and medication practice. I work with people who are dealing with anxiety and depression who may also be suffering from medical conditions such as addiction, pain, obesity, headaches, migraines, eating disorders, autoimmune disorders
as well as general life stresses.
I believe in the power of our self-healing abilitites. I focus on helping my patients discover and enhance their self-healing abilities. I do this using a variety of approaches including cognitive-behavioral therapy, biofeedback, guided imagery and hypnosis. This approach is enjoyable and empowering. Instead of being "diagnosed" patients learn powerful mind-body skills that help them live more effectively.
This site is for my medical practice and contains information about my medical practice for prospective patients, current patients, and other health care providers.
Please look over it and feel free to contact myself or my staff by phone or email if you have questions.
I am working on a site that describes mind-body techniques in depth. It will contain text and audio information for improving health, performance, relationships, and spirituality. You can find this at www.fullcapacityliving.com. This site is in the early stages of development.
I also have a blog where I post notes from a meditation class I lead.
