About

People "SEEK" therapy because they NEED change; changes in life circumstances, or in how they see things, think, feel, or behave… and sometimes, it’s ALL of these. They need a psychotherapist who will make a firm commitment to effecting whatever these changes need to be. By applying skilled and thorough assessment techniques to understand just how the discontentment is maintaining itself, then applying research-proven techniques to undo these present processes and create new ones. Unhappiness, pain, and suffering need to be alleviated and transformed into feeling well, contented, and in charge of your life and how you experience it.

I have been a practicing Clinical Psychologist for over 40 years and have brought these skills and abilities to all of my patients with genuine dedication and commitment to succeed in making the desired change. I am trained and credentialed in psychodynamic psychotherapies, Behavioral Therapies including CBT, Clinical Hypnosis, Conjoint Family Therapy, EMDR, EFT (tapping), and the evidence-based trauma treatments for contemporary PTSD and Complex (early childhood) PTSD. Among my patients and colleagues, my reputation has long been of a very respectful, caring, and skilled clinician who will PARTNER with clients in achieving therapeutic goals and aspirations.
