As a Doctoral level licensed psychologist in private practice, I specialize in adult psychotherapy. I enjoy working with adults from young adulthood to the later stages of life. Developing a therapeutic relationship with you, to allow you to feel supported, listened to and understood is the basis of beginning the therapeutic work. As we learn more about your present and past relationships with yourself and others, you may begin to gain insight and understanding of yourself, others and begin to see new options and choices for you. Therapy is a place to begin to open up your mind to new thoughts and ideas. Therapy is about making the changes you want to enhance your life.

As a PhD psychologist and marriage–family therapist for over 28 years my approach has been highly influenced by the executive coaching and consulting work I've done in the business world where there is a high demand for results. Many clients have given feedback that I'm much more active and involved compared to therapists they've seen in the past, and they appreciate this rather than just sitting back and listening without much comment. I have a very strong desire and commitment to help every client that I see make major changes in their life leading to greater fulfillment and happiness—this is what I strive for with every individual!

We consider it a privilege to be psychologists. Where else can you be allowed into other peoples’ lives - hear their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and events - and with great humility, provide help and support? Therapy/counseling is a blend of art and science. It is the art of interacting with people blended with the science that lies behind our mental health issues. The science (medicine, testing, how the brain works) guides us on how to help address issues. The art is the ability to work with an individual at a higher, sometimes spiritual level.

As a psychologist I am continually guided by current theory and research findings in formulating my clinical interventions. This blend of solid science with my warm, pragmatic and direct style has proven to highly effective in my 39 years of clinical work. I’ve trained in a wide variety of individual, group and family approaches to psychotherapy. I have the ability to take complicated theory and make it understandable, practical and useful in increasing your self-understanding, making the changes you desire and resolving the challenges you have struggled with. I also adhere to the highest ethical standards of professional psychology.
