“My clients tell me that I am warm, practical, have a good sense of humor, know when to be supportive and when to be challenging. I demand of myself personal and professional integrity. I have intense respect for my clients; their struggles, their courage, their faith. I am a reality-focused practical optimist. In both my personal and professional life I have learned that we can solve daunting problems and achieve meaningful and satisfying outcomes.

It is exceptionally important for me to be helpful and effective in my work. My education and training lead me to use the best of research and experience: a strong alliance between therapist and client; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; methods that have solid evidence supporting their use in a clinical setting

I have a lifetime of formal education and practical experience. I have taught for years at the undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate level. I have administered hundreds of psychological tests and assessments. I have supervised dozens of mental health professionals. I have been the Clinical Director of a psychiatric hospital.”
