Training to become a doctoral-level psychologist typically involves completing a rigorous program of study, which includes coursework, supervised clinical experience, and research. This process usually takes around 5 to 7 years beyond the undergraduate level. Doctoral programs often emphasize both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in areas such as assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and research methodology. Trainees also gain supervised experience working with diverse populations in various clinical settings. Additionally, doctoral students typically complete a dissertation, which involves conducting original research in their area of interest under the guidance of a faculty mentor.

As a clinical psychologist my approach to working with patients is to conduct a detailed assessment of your presenting issues and background so that I can develop a comprehensive understanding of your personality. This will guide the treatment and help to formulate the types of practical interventions that will be most helpful to assist you with effectively managing your struggles and foster your development. Therefore your treatment will not be a “one size fits all” approach, but will be individually tailored to your specific needs.

I am problem focused. I help you identify specific emotions you would like to reduce (depression, anger, anxiety or shame) or feelings you want to have more often (satisfaction, confidence, joy). We target behaviors you want to increase or decrease, and situations and people you would like to handle more effectively. I show you how your beliefs about the problems you face largely determine your emotional upset and your self-defeating behavior. Together we modify your beliefs. This allows you to effectively handle difficult situations, perform the way you would like and attain your personal goals. Your thinking about the past, present and future determines how you feel and function.
