About

As a therapist I value the importance of creating a safe, supportive and collaborative environment to help facilitate personal growth and healing from the overwhelming challenges we sometimes face in life. Pain is part of our human experience. However, suffering does not have to be. My focus is to provide my clients with practical and effective interventions that are tailored to their specific needs.

My clinical practice is highly informed by principles of neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology and evidenced based cognitive behavioral and psychotherapeutic interventions. My aim is to assist, encourage and empower my clients to overcome current obstacles and see their life goals realized.

My main areas of clinical experience and expertise in psychotherapy include treating mood and anxiety disorders, grief and bereavement, trauma-related disorders using cognitive behavioral therapy and other research-supported interventions. I also see clients for a variety of other issues, including marriage and relationship difficulties, adjustment to difficult life events, explosive anger issues and life transitions.

By examining the dynamic relationship between our thought process, emotions and the actions we take, we can hone in on a goal directed treatment approach that will practically address these target areas. Some examples of interventions utilized in my practice include Exposure and Response Prevention, Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, EMDR and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.

Considering psychotherapy is an important and often courageous decision. As a clinical psychologist who specializes in personal issues like the challenges described here, I will work with you to tailor a therapy that is comprehensive and sensitive to your needs. I know people are capable of dramatic change to improve the quality of their lives. I have worked with individuals over the years to witness that change. I want to partner with you in realizing that change in your life.
