Professional summary

In active psych practice for more than 40 years, I started by completing training in Phila in adult, adolescent and child psych, worked in addiction medicine for years, evolved to focus more on molecular and cellular physiology - and the exciting implications of neurotransmitter activity beyond the synapse. SPECT brain imaging will help with the big picture, then the next step is measuring hormone dysregulation, immune dysfunction and neurotransmitter imbalances. In modern neuroscience evidence counts.
