Psychology is a study people and research on issues. I have spent a big portion of my life listening to people and out of that I have researched, trying to make the information "user friendly". I do not practice from the point of someone else's theory, but from being a student of God's Word and watching the traps the people are often entangled in. Along with reading wise people, I find what works, like an MD would on people's physical issues. So as I continue reseach I am hopefully wiser to help you through your challenges. One of my great joys has been working on the cutting edge of Neuro Science research. A few of the biggest issues that I have worked with are Schizophrenia and PTSD/

I am a caring and collaborative psychologist, who believe that each person entering therapy needs the experience to be tailored to them, their history, and their needs. I work with you to understand what brings you to my office, what you're hoping to change in your life, and how to make that happen. By listening to what you say, and what you don't, and asking detailed questions, I will help you in better understanding yourself and reaching your goals.

Psychologists are scientist/practitioners. That means we are aware of the results of research. I have particularly studied research into how people can become happier. I am always studying the latest information on healing trauma and relationship problems. My clients over the years have also taught me a lot. I am a good listener and will commit myself fully to our work together. I will be present with you and bring a wonderful tool box to my work! My greatest satisfaction is to see people becoming more fulfilled, feeling good about their lives, happier!

When I attempt to be of help to a client I bring to the table all the knowledge and skill I have acquired in earning a Ph.D. in psychology and many hours of additional formal training. However, this is only the beginning. I also bring to the table everything I have learned in many years of relating to people as therapist, friend, family member, group member, and psychotherapy client. What I know about my own humanity is more important that all of my formal training.

Through my educational and practical experience, I have adopted an eclectic approach to therapy. First in foremost, I believe in getting to know each client as an individual. Once a working relationship is established, I work to help clients understand themselves. That involves seeing oneself more objectively and evaluating one's behaviors and their consequences more clearly. In this way, it's possible to determine what's working, what needs to be changed, and how changes could be put into place. The process is different for every person but it always is a great privilege to meet you, learn about you, and help you on your journey to lead a more satisfying life. While degrees do not guarantee you find a good therapist, the extensive training of a Ph.D. psychologist is a good start.

Good psychotherapy can help you create and experience change in your life, with more resilience, "doing" relationships differently, noticing and effectively redirecting yourself in those moments when you fall into old habits, improving your physical health through emotional wellness, getting your brain into better gear. I’m a psychologist as well as a neuropsychologist, and have been for nearly 25 years. Human connection together with how our minds work best; how we can change (literally) the wiring of our brains to give our hearts room to grow and to love – bringing all of that together to help is what I love to do. I bring that to therapy with a straightforward, empathic, and genuine way of working with people. If that sounds right for you, let's get to work.

I work from an Existential-Humanist model, which means I focus on the big-picture sorts of questions and goals. With clients, that means that I am focused on their goals, but also on helping them live lives that are meaningful and authentic. BY reaching the goals of my clients, we get them closer to the lives they want to lead and the things they want.

Understanding psychological growth and deviations from healthy developmental processes is essential in helping individuals and couples improve their situation. In my work, I make use of adaptational and motivational perspectives. Using adaptational strategies, I attend to how a client experiences, appraises, reacts, and copes with life stressors. The motivational perspective, on the other hand, attends to the fulfillment of physiological, security/safety, belongingness/love, esteem, and self-actualization or spiritual needs. It is not uncommon to be unaware of our deeper needs and motives, and the conflicts that exist between our needs and the actions used to satisfy them. In helping others, I tailor my approach to the client’s goals and needs.

As a psychologist, I have been trained in applying research in a therapeutic context. I follow the research carefully to ensure that I am providing the highest level of care to my clients. I strive to be warm and empathic in my approach. Therapy is a place that should be free of judgement.
