Crisis Intervention

Help for Families, Individuals and Organizations Dealing with a Psychological Crisis

Are you or someone you are concerned about experiencing any of these problems?

I take a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach to crisis intervention. I will help you develop a systematic and effective plan of action. I bring my extensive training and experience to bear on your unique problem. Together we will formulate a strategy for gaining control of the psychological crisis facing you.

Whether over the telephone or in-person (at your location or at my office in San Francisco), my goal is to help families, organizations and individuals quickly understand what is going on and what to do about it. I travel within the United States as well as abroad when requested.

The services I provide include:

• immediate crisis assessment

• in-home or on-site evaluations

• problem-solving recommendations

• on-going consultation and support

• evaluations for involuntary hospitalization

• arranging outpatient medication evaluations

• coordinating with psychiatric emergency services

• interfacing with law enforcement agencies

• other avenues tailored to your situation

I have over 20 years of experience working with patients who are acutely suicidal and/or psychotic and have conducted extensive research in this area. I am an expert in helping the friends and families of people in crisis access appropriate treatment options and learn how to prevent a future crisis.
