I am a licensed psychologist with a doctorate and a master's degree in clinical psychology. I have 22 years of experience in various mental health settings including community mental health, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric and substance abuse settings, state psychiatric hospitals, and acute medical and rehabilitation hospitals.

​

My therapeutic approach emphasizes an exploration and discussion of the full range of a patient's emotions and the ways in which they may attempt to avoid distressing thoughts and feelings. I work with patients to identify recurring themes and patterns of thoughts, feelings, self-concept, relationships and life experiences with an emphasis on how past experiences contribute to recurring patterns of behavior and relationships. I also integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. 

 

My areas of interest include: neuropsychological assessment, general clinical assessment, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, relationships, trauma, professional development issues, addiction and recovery, and life transitions.

The above rate is the full fee this therapist charges for a standard 50 minute session. However, we do not want cost to be prohibitive of people getting the help they need. All of our therapists provide a portion of their services for a reduced fee to help those who can benefit from psychotherapy but might not be able to afford their full fee.
