About

I have over 17 years of experience in providing therapeutic services in a number of settings including community mental health centers, nonprofit agencies, hospitals, private clinics as well as, most recently, two private practices. I have a PhD in Family Psychology and frame individual issues in context of relationships and each person's values and life goals. I specialize in anxiety, depression, eating disorders and addictions as well as the needs of first responders such as EMT's, firefighters, and law enforcement personnel. My approach is one that focuses on developing increased awareness of risk factors and underlying problems that cause distress with the goal of making behavioral changes to support individuals in leading more satisfying lives.
