The above quote by Rumi, a Persian poet from the 13th century, is the context for my view of being a clinical psychologist. I consider my practice of psychology to be more of a vocation than a career or a job, and have been practicing counseling and/or psychotherapy for over 30 years. Though trained primarily in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I also incorporate cognitive-behavioral, attachment, and interpersonal approaches into the therapeutic relationship, depending upon the needs and desires of the client.
My style is relational, empathic, interactive, collaborative, culturally-sensitive, and client-specific. I work with clients to set goals, explore the reasons that they might be experiencing challenges, and work to enable them to feel successful, present, and zestful in their lives and relationships. I work collaboratively with clients to overcome impasses, both within the therapy and in the rest of their lives, building on client strengths.
I see the therapeutic relationship as a "two-person" psychology, meaning that client and therapist both contribute to what happens within the therapy.

Making the decision to begin therapy is often filled with anxiety about the unexpected, which is a normal reaction.
To begin therapy takes a great deal of courage, and it often takes people a long time to make the initial phone call.
When you call to make an appointment with me, I will do a brief initial screening over the phone to determine if I can be helpful with your concerns, and if our schedules will allow us to make an appointment.
We will also briefly discuss insurance coverage and payment.
