CLINICAL APPROACH AND EXPERIENCE
When choosing a psychologist, it is important to choose someone who has the professional experience, counseling approach, and personality style that is a “good match” for you. The information in this section will give you an overview of my professional, educational and personal history. Please let me know if you have any additional questions about this background information that would be helpful to you.
My therapeutic orientation is rooted in concepts and principles from humanistic psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, strength-based, future-focused counseling, and acceptance and commitment therapy. My professional experience has been gained in diverse settings over the past 35 years and includes work with individual adults, couples, and families.
