Psychosis
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
My mentor was Michael Guy Thompson, PhD who worked closely with R.D. Laing, a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and philosopher who advanced a more humane and personal treatment for people experiencing psychosis. I've also worked closely on Gnosis Retreat Center, a project to bring a sanctuary for people experiencing extreme states to San Francisco. For over 10 years, I received specialized training related to the creation of that program as well as how to provide psychotherapy to people experiencing psychosis.

Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Psychosis represents a separation from reality primarily as defense mechanism against overwhelming feeling states, most often anxiety and depression. In my experience, all psychosis is trauma based. While anti-psychotic medications can be initially helpful to "clear" the mind, it is the working through of the trauma, or traumas, that is the road to a lasting cure. Since I was trained as a Neuro-Psychoanalyst, I am able to intervene approaching both brain (with brain nutrients) and mind (psychoanalysis) in the treatment. I am recommending twice weekly sessions with a careful respect for why the psychosis is there for the patient. What is the role of the psychosis in preventing the patient from facing overwhelming traumatic experiences. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.
