I'm not in the business of instigating change. I am in the delicate and complex work of empowering it. Because I believe you have the wisdom to bring about change. Because change is your work and your choice; my role is to set the stage, empty it, illuminate what stands in the way and explore with you the possibilities for change.

I have worked with a variety of populations doing individual, couples, and group psychotherapy as well as psychological testing. My theoretical approach is based on a variety of methods, techniques and philosophies based upon both research and my clinical experience. I believe no one method of therapy can meet everyone's needs, so I employ a variety of behavioral, cognitive, interpersonal interventions, and problem solving strategies based upon your individual needs and goals. I take the approach that the most empathetic thing I can do for you is to help bring you closer to your personal goals.

While there are many reasons people seek therapy, one thought is central: something has to change. Considering this idea takes tremendous courage. It can also bring tremendous reward. Change is not always easy, but it is possible. Therapy can be a powerful tool in this process by helping you gain insight, support, and confidence to develop new patterns and behaviors. As a clinical psychologist, I work collaboratively with people to identify the source of their pain and empower them to resolve it using evidenced-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based therapies.

I can help with challenging relationships, retirement problems, post trauma and acute stress; also substance abuse issues, problem gambling, grief or loss, as well as problems with past childhood abuse and neglect, as well as facilitating better adjustment with general life transitions.
