HI, I'M A LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST WITH MORE THAN 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. I HELP PEOPLE OVERCOME THE ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, OR ANGER THAT IS HOLDING THEM BACK FROM ACHIEVING THEIR LIFE GOALS. TOGETHER, IN A SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT, WE EXPLORE THE DYSFUNCTIONAL THINKING THAT IS CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS YOUR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND PROBLEM BEHAVIORS. WE THEN WORK TO CHANGE THIS TO CREATE A SET OF MORE HEALTHY AND REALISTIC BELIEFS ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR LIFE. THE RESULT IS THAT YOUR NOT ONLY FEELING BETTER, BUT THAT YOU ARE ALSO BETTER ABLE TO MEET LIFE'S CHALLENGES AND PURSUE YOUR LIFE GOALS. IF YOU'RE TIRED OF THE BURDEN OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS OR PROBLEM BEHAVIORS THAT HAS BEEN WEIGHING YOU DOWN, AND YOU ARE READY TO MAKE SOME CHANGES, I'M READY TO HELP YOU GET GOING TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES AND TO CREATE A HAPPIER AND MORE FULFILLING LIFE FOR YOURSELF.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

DURING OUR FIRST SESSION TOGETHER, I WILL GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR CONCERNS AND ALSO GATHER SOME PERSONAL HISTORY INFORMATION. I WILL EXPLAIN HOW THERAPY WORKS AND THEN TOGETHER WE WILL CREATE A TREATMENT PLAN THAT ADDRESSESS YOUR CONCERNS AND HELPS YOU CREATE A HAPPIER AND MORE FULFILLING LIFE FOR YOURSELF.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH PEOPLE FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO USE MY EXPERIENCE IN PROVIDING RATIONAL EMOTIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY TO HELP PEOPLE MAKE THE CHANGES THEY WANT TO MAKE TO CREATE A BETTER AND HAPPIER LIFE FOR THEMSELVES.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I FIND IT ESPECIALLY REWARDING TO WORK WITH ADULTS OF ALL AGES WHO ARE MOTIVATED TO WORK HARD TO CHANGE THE DYSFUNCTIONAL BELIEFS THAT UNDERLIE THEIR EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS. THESE PATIENTS ARE COMMITTED TO CHANGE AND ARE JUST LOOKING FOR A SENSIBLE WAY TO PROCEED TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES.
