Intro
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals and couples create healthier, stronger relationships, adjust to life transitions, deal with grief and loss, and build more satisfying lives. My specialties and expertise are focused on helping people who are struggling in their relationships or dealing with a transition in their lives. I believe that when you understand why you feel the way you do and act the way you do, you live a more directed life, make better choices, have healthier relationships, and usually can bypass a lot of pain.
How would you describe your approach to care?
As a therapist my focus first and foremost is on our therapeutic relationship. Your trust in me is essential for a successful outcome to therapy. Feeling safe and comfortable with me will help empower you to make the necessary changes in your life, to achieve your goals for therapy.
What should be expected in the first session?
Our first session will be focused on helping you feel relaxed and supported while I gather information about your history. We will also talk about your goals for therapy, what you would like to work on in sessions. I try to be the therapist that I would want to see, so you can expect me to take an active role in your sessions, have a good sense of humor, and use a straightforward, down to earth approach.
