As a psychologist, I seek to provide guidance in identifying strategies and solutions for tapping into your inner strengths and capacity for positive change. I have found that a positive therapeutic relationship serves an important role in accessing the resilience, insight, and courage needed to make important lifestyle changes that allow individuals and families to live happier, healthier, and more balanced lives. I approach the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process where positive change occurs when we work together to identify strategies that will allow you to adaptively manage and overcome difficult life challenges. I strive to create a safe place by providing unconditional support. I offer a variety of services including individual, marital, and family therapy, as well as assessment services related to disabling issues and court ordered evaluations. Throughout my career, I have worked with those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma (PTSD), and ingrained personality dispositions that while adaptive in the past no longer work. I truly believe in the power of human beings to make positive changes and find happiness through participation in therapy. This belief is reflected in my ability to approach each person's challenges with patience, empathy, non-judgment, humor, and an unwavering belief in the power of a productive therapeutic experience.
