It takes a great deal of determination and courage to make the decision to see a therapist. I am a clinical psychologist who works with people who are struggling in their lives. I use an active therapeutic approach that aims to help you better understand what you're thinking and feeling. I then work with you toward applying that understanding to make meaningful changes in your life. As a therapist, I work flexibly to meet your individual needs. I aim to help you reach your own unique goals and identify and overcome obstacles standing in your way. I work respectfully with people of all different racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. I am trained in many different forms of effective psychotherapy and work with individual clients, couples, and groups. I also supervise doctoral students in psychology and serve as the Assistant Chief of Psychology at a nationally renowned medical center.
