I am a licensed psychologist specializing in couples therapy, disordered eating/body image, and substance abuse. My work in these areas has lent to my heightened expertise in treating mood and anxiety disorders as well as life transitions issues.
I aspire to facilitate each client's journey toward a fuller, more meaningful life. The client learns to embrace his strengths and current resources while simultaneously acquiring specific skills and insight to guide him along the way. Throughout the therapeutic process, I respect and collaboratively explore his natural ambivalence toward life change and empower him to set the direction of treatment.
Although I am eclectic in my approach, I rely heavily on the following evidence-based (highly supported by clinical outcome research) therapies: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
