About
I incorporate a "team" approach in which patient and therapist actively engage in treatment. A professional, warm, and genuine type atmosphere is provided with the goal of maintaining a healthy lifestyle with enhanced coping skills. A cognitive behavioral approach is emphasized, which is problem-focused and direct. Problematic belief systems and behaviors, which are negatively impacting emotional well-being, are targeted. I specialize in the treatment of depressive, anxiety and eating disorders ( anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder). Weight-loss management and counseling services pre and post bariatric/weight-loss surgery are provided. I work with individuals dealing with life cycle adjustment (divorce, college, career, medical problems). LGBT issues are another specialty. I work with adults and teenagers. I provide counseling services and psychological evaluations. I conduct psychological assessments prior to weight loss surgery (ie., bariatric psychological evaluations). I also conduct immigration evaluations and assess for psychological hardship.
