I'm a psychologist with over 30 years of practice. Everyone is unique and so I treat everyone in a unique way meaning that my goals for your therapy are to meet your goals for your therapy. Some example of commonly presented goals include improving self esteem, communication, and awareness of unmet needs. Other common goals are reducing uncomfortable symptoms such as anxiety, depression, anger, ruminating thoughts or overcoming trauma. I am trained in many treatment stragies including (but not limited to)CBT, DBT, schema therapy, CPT, PET, IFS, and EMDR. For couples and families, I prefer to use the Gottman method.
I enjoy treating most individuals and I prefer a diverse caseload. Those who connect with me most easily include women ages 14 and older, couples, veterans, correction officers, high risk populations, older men and people who are adversely affected by trauma.
I take therapy seriously and there are many tears shed during sessions. But, I believe that humor is a wonderful coping mechanism and I incorporate laughter into sessions when appropriate. Additionally, I promise to provide you with direct, honest feedback rather than simply listening and nodding Finally, I will never ask you "how does that make you feel".
