Persons who have been coping with their ongoing psychological or physical health issues and are in need of a strong and structured therapy environment in which they can finally understand why their problems keep coming up and how to put an end to their chronic struggles are strongly welcomed to call my practice.
I use an innovative therapeutic model called T.E.A.M-CBT which is based on the work of Stanford professor, David Burns, author of Feeling Good. Your therapy will be an interactive, structured, focused on specific areas that you need help with. Weekly readings and self-help assignments are included, results are often speedy and lasting.
You don't have to suffer alone, feel misunderstood or frustrated. As a medical psychologist, I can help with your emotional and physical health. Your overall health, not just one aspect of your health will be the focus of treatment. Looking at your specific challenges and strengths, a robust cognitive behavioral program specifically awaits you.

After meeting you at your intake session, I create and organize a treatment plan that helps guide us toward a streamlined and goal-oriented approach to your treatment. You can expect a warm and empathic presence, we often use humor to help us get through, and of course, you can expect a high degree of professionalism when we work together. I use ACT and CBT, both of which are evidence-based.
