"Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still."
-Chinese Proverb
When people come to see me, they may not know much about the problem they are having. They just know things don’t feel right. They just aren’t as happy as they used to be. As a psychologist, I can help. Together we’ll work to gain a better understanding of your personal needs, and how to get those needs met. You’ll explore your concerns and problems, and find solutions that will make you stronger. We’ll work to develop a plan to get you where you want to be.
My “therapeutic style” is warm, active, flexible and likely to be short-term. As I said above, I collaborate with you in working on the goals that you set. I draw on a variety of treatment approaches, tailored to your specific problem and situation. I often view myself as a coach, cheering you on while at the same time, pushing you to be the best you can be.
I have a special exertise in anxiety disorders (you can also visit my website www.painfullyshy.com), although I work with people who have a wide range of concerns including:
- depression

- grief
- work stress
- family issues
- relationship problems

If you are covered by two insurance companies (one primary, one secondary), due to the time involved, I am only able to file with one of them.
Some clients choose to bypass their insurance and pay for services directly. Click here to learn about the many advantages of this.
