History
I've been a clinical psychologist in private practice for 33 years, and my passion for helping people grows each year. The meaning of my professional life lies in helping the people I serve discover and realize the meaning of their lives. I am relentless in the pursuit of that intention. My motto...always determined, rarely deterred.
Specialties
Solution-Driven Change (SDC) Is an action-oriented and paradigm shifting approach to change. As a Solution-Driven psychologist, I specialize in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), a time-sensitive, structured, present-oriented psychotherapy, directed toward solving current problems and teaching skills to modify dysfunctional (unhelpful) thinking and behavior, discover unrealized potential, and improve quality of life. My mission is to provide practical tools, up-to-date, evidence-based information and resources, specific to the needs of the individuals, couples, and families I serve, in a warm and supportive environment, to attain the personal, relationship, and career goals to which they aspire. I strive to be challenging and direct, but not judgmental, open-minded and willing to let people explore options in life, careful to not rush to diagnose and pathologize, and deeply respectful of the intricacies of the human condition.
