When thinking about how to introduce myself, I invariably return to what I personally require when choosing a therapist – genuine commitment, personal sincerity, and clinical expertise. I'm dedicated to the core belief that a good therapist is one who gently guides a client to uncover the emotional stumbling blocks causing anxiety, pain, or inertia so that the person can move forward in life. My therapeutic style exudes compassion, while equally engaging in honest, candid conversations to uncover the personal pain points, challenges, and stressors that bring a client to therapy.

I am a firm believer in thorough evaluation early on in the therapy process. I frequently use my expertise in psychological testing to assist in this diagnostic process to ensure the most effective and appropriate treatments are used. While the human condition allows for great challenges and pain, it also allows for miraculous opportunities for healing and growth. Therapy is a collaborative relationship. I focus treatment on a combination of providing information, skill building, and evidence based treatments. Being tech-interested also helps me connect with younger clients, and bridge the gap of resistance to change or getting help.

Life can be really hard and painful. Perhaps you feel stuck, confused, frustrated or overwhelmed. It is important to develop effective tools and strategies to strengthen our capacity to move through difficulty better, with more clarity and better decision making ability.

My ideal client is a dedicated professional who feels overwhelmed by long hours and too many tasks, and especially being "on call". On-call means you can't schedule your rest periods, and disrupted sleep is very bad for health and well being. You may also feel unfairly manipulated by management as they try to meet unreasonable demands. You may think "Why don't they hire more people?" Nurses, for example, are often stuck in this situation. I have been able to aid these staff in getting time off, or going part time with no on-call with a guarantee of getting their job back when they're ready with no retailiation.
