Great to meet you!

I am a clinical psychotherapist for the past 30 years. I am fully engaged in the practices of Cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy and am trauma-informed. I work with adults who present with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorders, couples therapy, and substance use disorders.

My approach to therapy

I use motivational interviewing skills to engage with patients and use various skills to tailor your treatment goals and plans for your future accomplishments.

What you can expect from me

My focus is that with every session, the patient learns to use a skill set to help them address the issues until the following session.
