Find A Psychologist in Cherryland, CA.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in treating children and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, worrying about relationships, feeling overwhelmed with school, family, or job demands, dealing with frustrating situations and coping with changes in life. I use a non judgmental approach, empower kids and adults to reclaim their strengths, and help them build healthy emotional lives. See my interview published in the Pacific Sun to get a glimpse of how I think and what it might be like to work with me: http://www.pacificsun.com/talking-pictures-change-is-good/

As a licensed psychologist, I am trained to treat many different issues. It is very important to me to develop a safe place where people can feel comfortable being vulnerable so they can honestly face the challenges they have which are preventing them from reaching their full potential. Each individual is unique and it is a wonderful privilege to work with people helping them achieve his/her goals.

As a Clinical Psychologist I have special training in understanding the complex personality and other problems that cause people to have a variety of problems in their life. With this depth of understanding, I am well-equipped to find the best treatment approach for each person. As psychologists, we are assisted in this process because we have access to the latest research on effective treatment approaches, which is known as Scientifically-Based Psychotherapy. At the same time I know that a warm, supportive relationship between the therapist and client are the primary basis for a successful psychotherapy.

I became a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, rather than a master's level clinician, because it is essential to me that my work be informed by both theory and science. I have studied all the major theoretical schools in depth, and I am particularly interested in the massive amount of research that has been done identifying the factors that lead to a successful therapy.
