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.

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.

My work with individuals and couples is to create a deeper relationship first with ourselves and then within the relationship to have a more fulfilled and passionate life.

My work with individuals begins there, identifying our values and what excites us and removing the blocks to living that inner truth more fully in our lives.

As a psychologist the cornerstone of my work with clients involves assessment and evaluation. I begin every client interaction with a thorough assessment of the individual.

Therapy to me entails an active and engaged process exploration to gain insights that were otherwise inaccessible to the client.
