Clients of all ages come to me for help on their most vital life challenges.
Psychotherapy clients work with me in order to: recover from post-traumatic stress or serious personal loss; conquer debilitating anxiety; revitalize a marriage injured by infidelity or damaged by other stressors; launch a gratifying career; and strengthen loving connection and healthy boundaries between family members.
I use advances in the fields of psychotherapy and neurobiology, including contemporary evidence-based techniques. I have 35 years of clinical experience helping people make lasting changes in their lives.
Everything you need to change, heal, or grow is available in the present moment.
Our focus will be on your behavior in the present. History is useful for context, compassion, and insight. However, history by itself doesn't help us move beyond old patterns. For that, we need to explore and practice new behavior.
Behavior Change for the Public
For 10 years, I was the Parenting Expert for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy on the Anti-Drug Media Campaign.
I served with the Behavior Change Expert Panel to create messages which disrupted parent and teen attitudes towards drug abuse. I conducted research across the country to develop messages and test their efficacy to lower drug use nationwide.
