I am a Clinical Psychologist with fifteen years of experience in treatment and assessment. Education in both the Arts and Science inform my balanced approach to improving mental health. I place importance on understanding the client as a unique individual with their own stressors, life experiences, key relationships and biological/health characteristics. This understanding helps me to develop a focused and effective treatment strategy designed to increase happiness and improve quality of life. I rely on evidence-based techniques, but also understand the importance building of a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust.
I have experience diagnosing and treating a wide range of psychological challenges, and have developed skill in understanding the roots of a client's problems and building a pathway to good mental health. One of my strengths is helping clients feel comfortable exploring their inner experiences, so as to more quickly improve their mental health and happiness.
I welcome you to contact me by phone or email to discuss your needs, and to allow me the opportunity to answer any questions you may have about my experience and approach. I have assessed and treated wide range of clients including community members, first responders, veterans and injured/disabled individuals, so feel free to inquire if uncertain of the fit.
