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!

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 believe in the power of the human connection. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with you, so that you can feel comfortable telling me about your fears, hurt, pain, insecurities, hopes, dreams. We all have them and it’s these things that make us human. By understanding you as a person, together we will use the strengths that you already have to overcome your challenges.

An engineer friend of mine says that there are no difficult jobs; there are wrong tools for the job. I would like to help you put together a tool kit that is the best fit for you, for what you want in your life, and for the challenges that are in your way. I have trained in a range of behavioral, cognitive, and emotion focused approaches, so that we can identify and practice the strategies and coping mechanisms that fit your needs and your vision.

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.

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.

I work collaboratively with individuals to set goals and articulate areas of growth. I use cognitive and psychodynamic approaches to help you to: Understand and process the sources of distress, and Develop coping styles and behaviors to better manage that distress. Some issues benefit not only from talk therapy but also medication. I may recommend this combined approach of both psychotherapy and medication to help lessen distress. I have working relationships with area psychiatrists making this combined approach easier for the patient.
