Before
becoming a psychologist, my
experience as a registered nurse gave me a unique perspective on the
role mental health and emotional functioning play in physical well
being. As such, I use a holistic, goal-oriented systems approach
to help each individual achieve the personal and relationship changes
he or she desires in life. When working with individuals or couples, I
believe that identifying developmental strengths is as important in
treatment as focusing on the weaknesses that so often contribute to
personal pain. I value the importance of building a comfortable,
collaborative working relationship with clients, where the goals of
treatment as well as the evaluation of progress are discussed openly
and honestly. Please don’t hesitate to call if I can be of
service to you or someone you care about.
