Specialties
In my private practice I use empirically validated treatment methods (such as cognitive behavioral therapy) along with interpersonal, emotion based, depth based and other methods. I have formal training in many psychotherapeutic approaches. Integrating them together strategically enables me to provide the most effective treatments as well as guide deep and meaningful personal development.
I regard my clients with the respect and honor that is always appropriate for someone discussing and working on difficult topics.
