I have been a Licensed Clinical Psychologist for over 25 years. During this time I have never ceased to be amazed by the enormous potential and resources individuals have in overcoming life's problems and challenges. I believe that psychotherapy or counseling can and should be results oriented. Establishing clear goals and strategies is central to my focus and it encourages individuals to learn new and more constructive ways to think, feel, and behave. I often give "homework" assignments which helps individuals in developing the skills and self confidence to live a more meaningful life. Real problems have real solutions.

Seeking help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one.

Are you dealing with a life challenge that is causing anxiety, depression/sadness, stress, issues in work-life balance or relationships? Are you having difficulty adjusting to your current circumstance? Do you struggle with caregiver burn-out, grief, past trauma, lack of purpose/direction?

Thus having a designated support person +confidant to walk alongside you during difficult times providing guidance & encouragement can not only be reassuring & comforting, but also help you find or restore the hope needed to move forward.

I believe that in order for therapy to be effective, it has to be individualized to your specific needs, meaning my approach is flexible and responsive to your unique situation.

I try to be respectful of and responsive to what will be helpful to you in session, to assist you in addressing the concerns that brought you to therapy.

There are many things that get in the way of people living more fulfilled lives.
