I am a clinical psychologist with 30 years of experience, working with children, adolescents, adults and couples. Areas of specialization include depression and anxiety—including chronic stress, overthinking & excessive worry, panic disorder, OCD, social anxiety, and excessive fears. I help resolve marital and relationship conflict, as well as recovery after divorce or major loss. I also work with individuals navigating life transitions and the strain these can place on identity and relationships. I help bridge divisions when differences in values or life direction have created distance. I also provide ADHD and Autism assessments.
I have trained in multiple approaches, but adapt my style to fit each person. I listen carefully to understand the situation as you see it. I then explore options and consider the pros and cons of the direction you choose. The process is paced to be realistic and manageable. My role is to be an objective ally. Skills are developed as part of the process.
I try to create a tone that is comfortable & engaging. I don’t want the process to be intimidating. I listen carefully, offer an independent perspective, yet support and respect the direction you choose. When it works well, it becomes something people look forward to. I work as a strategic partner. Two perspectives working toward a common goal.
