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.

One size fits all counseling rarely seems effective, and I tailor my approach to the background, personality, and interests for each person. Drawing on a wide variety of techniques and approaches from my ongoing training and education, I have continued to study and improve my skills as I engage with the people I see.
