I look forward to addressing your individual needs. I specialize in treating adolescent issues of all types with a specific focus on depression and mood disorders. I also offer services for people suffering from addiction, in all its forms. I work with adolescence, adults and couples, and of course with the entire family when indicated. I am considered a technical eclectic, which means I use whatever theoretical approach I feel will work best for your situation. We will also draw from film, literature, culture and spirituality in our sessions so that we can make use of your unique personal interests.
I am Chairperson of the Best Practices in Adolescent Depression for Kaiser NCal - thus have a wealth of information and expertise with this group of people. My practice, however is not affiliated with my Kaiser position. We will address your depression with assessment, education, coping skills, family education and individual support.
I consider myself a "blue collar" therapist which comes from my own upbringing and sensibility. While my role as your therapist is professionally based, I pride myself on presenting my Authentic Self and speaking candidly about your issues. There will also be moments that require simply listening and offering empathy.
