I believe that good treatment starts with a solid treatment plan and a good fit between the therapist and the client. I am holistic in my approach to addressing cognitive, social, personality, spiritual, and biological (e.g., sleep and diet) needs relevant to my clients' concerns. My practice strives to treat every individual as if they were our own family member.

My philosophy to treatment is to "test first so there are no questions later!" This means the first step is to identify all the major factors contributing to your problem, as well as any smaller problems that could be having an impact. Often, what seems to be one problem is really something else entirely. This diagnostic clarity is accomplished by administering a battery of tests personalized to your unique presentation. By identifying specific areas in need of intervention, the rate of recovery increases and much more targeted treatments can be implemented.

I am most familiar with clients who have mood disorders such as forms of anxiety, depression and those who struggle with anger management. I am also experienced in working with clients that have been diagnosed with ADHD or have general difficulty with focusing during sessions. I allow my clients to set the pace they are comfortable with as I assist them in working towards their personal goals.

This ranges from organization and task management, to working through how we experience our emotions and daily life due to the symptoms.
