Hello! My name is Cal, Board Certified Medical Psychologist. I embody understanding and compassion in my approach to mental health care, trauma and other chronic psychological challenges that people experience. With a wealth of experience gleaned from diverse backgrounds, I guide individuals through their journeys of self-discovery and healing through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have over 38 years of experience in the field of medicine and clinical psychology. I have deep expertise and skills that address how thoughts, feelings, and emotions interplay with medical conditions that often are treated with medication. Some medical conditions, specifically chronic pain, are influenced by depression, anxiety and even trauma. There are now several states that allow clinical psychologists who have trained in psychopharmacology to prescribe. I have had the privilege of working for hospital systems in developing chronic pain interdisciplinary pain programs throughout the country. I work very closely with primary care providers and pain management physicians when psychological skills are required to improve coping with and living with chronic pain as well as supporting medication titration.
