"I can't thank you enough. Your web site is such an incredible resource. I only wish I had found it earlier..."

Irene A.

"I have to say that I am most impressed with your site. As I told you I had "googled" and "yahooed" for this information but found nothing that compared to your database... My search was becoming very stressful and I wish to thank you for relieving that stress."

Janet S.

Licensed Psychologist

 

Some people reach a point when they, or someone dear to them, runs into obstacles and nothing seems to help. Others want to enrich their lives in some way. These are good reasons to consider seeking help from a psychologist. With more than 30 years of experience, I apply a wealth of expertise and creativity to target treatment to the specific needs of a person, couple, or family.

I offer an active, problem-specific, practical approach to partnering with you to get you where you want to go. At the same time, my approach  is sophisticated--it's enriched by cognitive-behavioral, couples-and-family systems, and developmental theories and expert change techniques. I work with individuals of all ages and stages (including children, adolescents, and seniors), couples, and families. Specialties include:

  • Cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy for depression, anxiety, OCD and other problems
  • Treatment for Aspergers, ADHD, LD, and other disabilities
  • Couples and family counseling
  • Guardianship evaluation
  • Adoption evaluations (for pre-adoptive parents)
  • Social skills assessment and instruction
  • Counseling with career issues and coping with life changes

Please contact me by phone or email with questions or to discuss a possible referral.
