Welcome to my private practice in Scottsdale, AZ where I have provided psychotherapy since 2001. I enjoy having a variety of clients to work with, including couples, individuals, adolescents, and families. My clinical approach is solution-focused, rooted largely in cognitive-behavioral therapy. I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, family systems therapy, behavioral issues with children/teens, relationship issues, and stage of life changes. My clinical style is goal-oriented; I'm direct in providing observations and always seeking your feedback regarding the efficacy and the outcomes you are experiencing in therapy. I believe that past experiences and unhealthy responses will continue to repeat in present life unless we enact change and adopt new responses. I want to assist you in developing insights that help you overcome obstacles that are holding you back today while providing a safe and compassionate space to explore any and all difficulties you are experiencing. Finding the right therapist can be a daunting and uncertain task. Determining the "fit" between you and your therapist is one of the most important steps of initiating counseling. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you in person or by phone about your specific situation, experience and needs.
