Thanks for taking time to view my information. I try to be what I would look for in a psychologist: someone who is tactful, cares about the person, and responds with both knowledge and compassion. You will find me to be interactive. I will not sit silently or simply reflect what you just said. I will let you know my perceptions and discuss research, making suggestions on ways to feel better. I tend to focus both on your emotions and your thoughts. You will do most of the talking, but you will get a genuine reaction from me.
My experience includes over 30 years in practice. I see a variety of people about relationships (including couples), anxiety (panic, phobias, obsessive thinking, stress), depression, sudden trauma, alcohol/substances recovery and other problems. Please call to ask if I have experience in the areas you need.
I see a wide range of people, including medical and legal professionals, educators, tech employees and managers, gay/lesbians, veterans, police officers, entertainers, artists, and mental health professionals. There is no pressure to come in if you call. You can ask questions and think about our conversation before deciding.
