Great to meet you!

I have been a licensed psychotherapist practicing for 38 years, mostly focusing on treating depression, anxiety disorders and stress management. I work a great deal with couples as well.

My approach to therapy

My style involves working collaboratively to help my patients improve the quality of their lives in their work, their relationships and their interests. My approach brings to light how past experiences affect the choices that we make in our current lives, both positively and negatively, and how we can alter destructive patterns by learning new healthy coping skills.

With over 38 years of experience as a Licensed Psychotherapist, I've found that my expertise lies in treating Depression, Anxiety and Relationship Issues. In addition, I have extensive expertise in treating individuals and family members of people who struggle with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

I provide both short term and ongoing psychotherapy with a focus on developing a unique treatment plan for each individual. I provide EAP consulting/training as well.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I will initially inquire about what prompted you to reach out at this time. We will also discuss what would be significant historical information about you that will help me to best individualize a treatment plan for you. I do not have any specific forms or questionnaires to fill out. I prefer to gather information directly from you.
