     Everyone wants to be happy and free from suffering. Unfortunately many, if not most, people look for stable well-being in the wrong places.  Through effective therapy, a person can have increased contentment, cope effectively with difficulties, enjoy positive interpersonal relationships, grow, and thrive.   Although it is common for people to be reluctant to discuss personal and family problems, the rewards of honest disclosure to a caring and competent psychologist can be great.

     Over the years I have helped thousands of persons who suffered from depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and health problems.  My proficiency in facilitating healing helps people recover from abusive and traumatic experiences and to repair of damaged self-esteem. I have assisted many couples in learning how to reduce destructive conflict, improve healthy communication and cooperation, and improve parenting skills. 

     My main approach is called Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).  CBT targets dysfunctional thinking and behavior to create happier emotions.  It is faster and less invasive than therapies that uncover deep roots.  I use hypnosis and other therapies when appropriate.
