My Approach to Helping

People come to me because they want to feel better, not to spend years in therapy. My approach to therapy is much more than just talk. It focuses on making your life better in the most effective, efficient way possible. It is based on the most current research, it makes sense to my clients, and it is always designed to fit each person's personal strengths, needs, and resources.

More Info About My Practice

Therapy begins with a thorough assessment of the problems that you are experiencing so that I can determine which treatment approach is most likely to work. I also want to be able to help you better understand what is going on and what you need to do in order to make it better. We will then work together to form a structured treatment plan that is based on the most current scientific findings. We will carry that plan out in subsequent sessions, and you will be asked to practice certain skills at home between sessions. Techniques include, among other things, education, practicing behaviors, problem solving, gradual exposure to fears at a pace that you are comfortable with, and learning to more accurately interpret others' intentions.
