Welcome to my practice. I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, groups, and couples. My practice is integrative, meaning that I am trained in a variety of proven and powerful clinical methods. We'll work together to choose the best approach for you. I strongly believe therapy results should not be a mystery but instead measurable, meaningful, and clear. I'll work hard to help you reach the goals you set.
Even after 20 years, I am still humbled when someone chooses me as their therapist, and I take the responsibility very seriously. I work hard to ensure that I stay fully up-to-date with the latest clinical approaches while remaining faithful to some of the tried-and-true methods that have worked for many years.
