Therapy should not only focus on relieving your symptoms and distress but is also about building greater capacities for dealing with life's inevitable stresses and anxieties. I believe it is important to actively collaborate with you to find out what it is you want from therapy and to periodically evaluate the progress toward these goals. I look to tailor each person's therapy to their specific presenting problems and goals so that they will be able to feel better and feel more capable in facing life's challenges. I have experience treating adolescents with behavioral issues, anger management and emotional problems as I was a psychologist on an adolescent inpatient unit. I also have experience treating adults dealing with relationship issues, depression and anxiety. I also work as a psychologist in a teaching hospital where I teach and supervise psychology trainees and psychiatry residents on psychotherapy. I also publish in peer review scientific journals on the topics of assessment and psychotherapy. My research has been funded by the federal government.
