Personal Statement

I have over 20 years of experience as a psychologist helping individuals and couples: Reduce stress, anxiety, fears and depression; Improve relationships and communication and repair broken trust; Cope with loss and change; Increase self esteem, self acceptance and life satisfaction; Achieve goals and make healthier decision; Work on other concerns including GLBT issues. I have daytime and evening appointments and accept most insurance plans.

My therapeutic style is supportive, collaborative, interactive and nonjudgmental. This helps clients feel comfortable so we can explore problems and solutions together in a safe environment. My therapeutic approach is primarily cognitive-behavioral and solutions-focused, and my work with each client or couple is customized for their specific needs, goals and situation.

Selecting a therapist who is a good fit is very important. I invite you to get additional information about me on our practice's website or by contacting me by phone (for the fastest response) or email. I am happy to provide you with more information and answer any questions you may have to help you in this important decision.
