Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adults, Couples, Families and Teens
As a Psychologist with 30+ years of experience, I provide care and counsel by using both the science and methods of clinical psychology. My therapeutic orientation is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My style of psychotherapy is interactive, direct, and effective. I do give suggestions, recommendations, and homework where useful. I believe clients who actively participate in their treatment get better faster. What I like most about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is that its treatment approaches are proven to work and are fast acting. CBT focuses on the here-and-now. It is practical and goal-directed, while still being kind and empathic. “Cognitive” refers to meanings or beliefs. Our beliefs and world views direct our behavior and feelings. While I see myself as having a wide range of experience in the field of psychology, I have several areas of further knowledge including, but not limited to, the following:
Couples and Marital Counseling
Family Therapy
Anxiety Conditions
Depression
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
Grief Work
Drug and Alcohol Treatment
Work or Academic Difficulties
Positive Psychology
Attitude or Behavioral Difficulties
Executive Coaching
Career and Life Transitions
The Enneagram
At the end of the day, my ultimate goal is to train my clients to be their own therapist.
