With over 20 years of experience as a clinical psychologist, I specialize in both psychological evaluation and therapy services. My work focuses on identifying clinical and educational concerns through comprehensive assessments and using primarily cognitive behavioral therapy to address a broad range of issues, including depression, anxiety, academic and occupational stress, and day-to-day challenges.
In therapy, I focus on identifying and building on personal strengths. While life challenges can impact well-being, recognizing what’s working creates momentum for change. Clients often feel comfortable opening up due to my ability to establish strong rapport and maintain a warm, non-judgmental approach.
My strength is that I am non-judgmental and work within the value system of my clients. I steer away from imposing my own world view but instead assist with problem solving and self-improvement within the context of client core values. I am an expert re-framer, helping clients explore thoughts underlying behaviors and emotions to motivate change.
