| Practice Description: |
I understand that your emotional health and relationships are important, and you deserve to receive quality assistance with these vital aspects of your life. As a therapist I am dedicated to assisting each person to maximize his or her potentials and to live full, gratifying lives. I feel that every client with whom I work deserves personalized care, respect, and responsiveness. This attitude helps clients feel safe opening up and risking trying new ways of approaching life's challenges. Whether you seek individual, couple's, family, or group therapy (or perhaps some combination of these) I invite you to call.
My breadth of training and experience allow me to be highly flexible as a therapist. I am well trained in the application of behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, psychodynamic, interpersonal, and humanistic therapies. In many cases, several of these approaches are applied at various stages of the treatment process.
I was fortunate to have received exceptional training and education, which has instilled very strong clinical skills and professionalism. I continually receive training and education, and am involved with promoting the highest professional standards.
I have a team that supports my treatment plans with the individuals, couples and families I serve. All members of our team are Registered with the Board of Psychology to practice under my supervision, and we function as an integrated group which can use several complementary treatment modalities to efficiently promote the change on multiple levels. In this way, we can often meet the needs of individual, couples, family, etc. counseling within a single treatment environment, and in a way that is integrated, rather than families having to go to multiple offices to see various therapists.

| Additional Comments: |
Choosing the right therapist is essential. Not only are training and educational experience important to consider, but so too are the clinician's personal qualities. Therapy works best when people feel safe, cared for, and understood. I recommend that you give me a call, so that you can learn more about me, the practice, and how I might assist you.
I look forward to hearing from you. |
