Welcome!  As a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of professional experience, I am dedicated to providing expert therapy for individuals and couples, in an atmosphere of competence, collaboration, and caring.  Here's how:

• Competence.  I work with wide-ranging problems that adults or couples often face -- including depression, anxiety, trouble with important relationships (spouses, partners, family members, work associates), stress reactions, life crises, making important decisions, spiritual issues, and more.  I provide you with a meaningful analysis of your difficulties, propose new ways of thinking about these problems, and work with you to effect sensible solutions that will reduce your stress, enhance your well-being, and restore your enjoyment of everyday life.  

• Collaboration.   Therapy should not have to be some mysterious process that leaves you feeling anxious and alone in your distress.   We work together as a team, and we learn from each other.  My years of experience hopefully give me the skills and wisdom to help you acquire new abilities and take these as your own through life.  Foremost, I treat my clients as equals. 

• Caring.  My office is located in a peaceful setting.  I want your experience in therapy to be helpful and enjoyable. 

  • If you need a referral for medication evaluation or other services, I will help you get to someone good, and quickly. 

  • If you prefer, I will bill your insurance carrier for you at no extra charge. 

  • I welcome clients of all races, religions, and sexual orientations.
