Clinical Psychologists are highly trained professionals with a background in theory, as well as mental health diagnosis and treatment. After completing college, most Psychologists spend 7+ years in graduate school and conducting research before they receive their doctoral degree. As part of that training, they are required to complete both a predoctoral and postdoctoral internship in order to practice independently.

A psychologist has the most extensive training in psychology of all the mental health professions. Some people with a Ph.D. are licensed as Marriage and Family Therapists (and I have that license as well) or as Social Workers, not psychologists. As a psychologist, I understand the benefits and limitations of research, and I also bring that to my psychotherapy practice. Psychologists work with the full range of psychological and emotional issues, without limitation, unlike MFTs and LCSWs who have a more limited scope of practice. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: I’m well trained to help you with whatever issues bring you to me.

As a psychologist, I have had extensive training treating individuals and couples who present with a variety of presenting problems and diagnoses. I have treated people in an inpatient and outpatient hospital setting who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, dementia and have been hospitalized with suicide attempts. I have also been in private practice for almost 20 years and have treated people with severe depression, anxiety, panic attacks, drug and alcohol addiction, and, as well, people without major symptoms who are desiring an improvement in their quality of life, social and dating skills. I also work closely with psychiatrists and have experience and knowledge regarding the prescription of psychotropic medications, their side effects and efficacy.

As well as my clinical work I am also a forensic psychologist. I am a Qualified Medical Evaluator for Workers' Compensation and provide disability evaluations for civil litigation and fitness-for-duty. In addition, I serve as a primary and secondary treat physician for some Workers' Compensation insurance panels.
