My Approach to Helping
As a clinical psychologist, I specialize in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. In addition to a psychological evaluation, clinical interview, and possibly additional assessments, I evaluate whether a person has symptoms of a mood disorder such as Major Depression, Dysthymia, or Bipolar Disorder, or of an anxiety disorder such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder or Social Phobia. I also have training and expertise in the treatment of general behavioral medicine issues including obesity and weight loss. Treatment focuses on symptom relief and on increasing well-being. I utilize positive psychology exercises to identify and maximize one's personal strengths.

 

More Info About My Practice
After discussing the reason for the initial appointment, a thorough assessment (and possibly testing) provides additional context and reveals nuances that are unique to each person. Therapy follows an individualized treatment plan to address the original concerns (individual/couples) as well as those that might be raised through further discussion.
