Please note that I am not accepting new clients. I have been a practicing psychologist for the past 24 years. I have a warm and informal style which I believe serves my clients well. I use techniques that best fit the needs of my clients. I have an active, directive approach in my clinical work. I do not hesitate to give direct feedback and advice to my clients, and will give homework to clients when necessary. At the start of therapy, I prefer to see clients weekly or once every other week in order to establish continuity in the therapy.

My services are tailored to individuals struggling with a variety of mental health disorders (depression, anxiety, panic, mood disorder) and substance abuse issues. I work with all populations and provide home based therapy and outreach-- to the elderly-- and those diagnosed with complicated medical issues. My services are geared toward assessing one's baseline and identifying specific strengths, coping, limitations, vulnerabilities and grounding skills. I also incorporate the spiritual element of healing--which fosters personal growth for recovery.

I treat adults and seniors using cognitive-behavioral therapy. I also work with couples and family members as appropriate. I have had experience treating patients with anxiety, panic disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, physical and psychological trauma, strokes and brain injury, chronic illnesses, low self-esteem, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and executive function issues. I approach psychotherapy from a biological-psychological-social framework. Working within the theoretical framework of cognitive-behavioral therapy, I incorporate multiple strategies and techniques into my therapeutic practice, including mindfulness meditation.

My primary goal for psychotherapy places an emphasis on developing a strong, empathic, and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients, as I believe this is essential in facilitating the process of change. Through working with my clients to explore sources of emotional conflict, effective strategies to cope with life's various stressors are developed, thereby enhancing personal growth. Whether it is coping with life transitions, sources of anxiety or depression, relationship issues, or health concerns, I strive to help my clients overcome the obstacles that have impeded upon achieving their life goals.

Do you feel stressed or have a problem you want to address? How do you know which therapist is right for you? The right therapist should feel like a good fit-you trust and connect with the person and feel that he or she is empathic. You also want someone with extensive training and experience. I am a seasoned psychologist who combines contemporary thinking with the wisdom of experience. I treat individuals and couples with psychological and behavioral concerns such as anxiety, depression, phobias, stress-related illness, and coping with medical illness.
