Having extensive experience and clinical supervision with adolescent and adults in various health settings, I have come to appreciate the uniqueness of each person and the journey they are on to wellness. I am non-judgmental and don't feel it is necessary to shame or parent those I work with. In addition to being a psychologist, I am also a college professor, working with students pursuing master and doctorate degrees and a clinical supervisor. These unique perspective allows me to stay on the cutting edge of research and therapeutic approaches to a variety of issues. I am not a corporate or large for profit practice.
One of my specialty areas includes relationship counseling including premarital, cohabitation, marital, parent-child, parent-parent, co-parenting. After the assessment, I may utilize one or more of various evidence based approaches to change because I am not limited to only one approach as each situation is different.
I work with a variety of addictive-like behavior, often referred to as "addictionology", the study of addictions. Issues from substance use problems, internet, gambling, shopping, sexual behaviors and such are the focus of this specialty. Approaches may include only one or a mix of couples, individual or group approaches.
