As a clinical psychologist I spend time studying, in an attempt to understand the problem(s) that an individual client would like to address. I focus on a client's strengths, capabilities and goals in order to find understanding, meaning and/or a solution to the problem(s) that blocks or interferes with their happiness.

Working collaboratively, I help clients increase their awareness of certain triggers and unhealthy reactions to the stress that causes unsafe and harmful coping mechanisms. My goal is to create an environment that contains mutual respect and ease, a space where we can have honest, productive, and meaningful conversation. What I don't do is "treat patients" or deal with "disorders".

I communicate with people and commit myself to the process of helping them discover what their goals are and how to achieve those goals. I empower people to make positive, healthy, and life transforming changes in their lives.
Actual progress comes with comfortable and effective therapy that is a match to your needs. Together, we will discover what is needed for you to live more fully and to resolve the issues and conditions that brought you to therapy.

Many researchers who study the benefits of psychotherapy believe that the single most important factor in finding the right psychologist relates closely to how comfortable you feel when sitting down with him or her. This interpersonal connection is often more important than a particular approach or technique. Research and experience tell us that people ca get better, and that therapy is a good investment in one's self.

The power to decide belong to you. You are the one who chooses who to work with and what period of time they will be a part of your life. What should always be at the heart of these decisions is your comfort. This is a fact that I recognize and value.
