Practice Philosophy for CDRP:

As the clinical team of the Chemical Dependency Recovery Program, we strive to create a supportive atmosphere in which individuals can experience their full potential for recovery from substance-related problems. We offer a comprehensive program of group therapy, education, individual counseling, medical detoxification and psychiatric services in a compassionate and structured setting. We look forward to working with you, to help you change your life.

About Me:

I was born and raised in Abington, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. I graduated with a BS degree in Communications from Temple University in Philadelphia in 1970 and spent many years as a broadcast air personality, and free lance writer here in the SF bay area before deciding to become a therapist.

I obtained my MS degree in counseling from San Francisco State University in 1999 and have worked in the Chemical Dependency field since 1989. In 1991, I helped establish a non-profit group that provides recovery educational workshops and meetings for charitable groups and churches. I also worked for Goodwill Industries and the State of California as a vocational rehabilitation and chemical dependency counselor to those with disabilities prior to coming to CDRP.

I love to play music, run, bicycle, hike, camp out and perform other outdoor activities. I love baseball (national league please, no DH!), movies especially classic and independent films, and I am married to Pamela, who is a social worker.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
