I'm an experienced, licensed psychologist who helps people get "unstuck" from unhelpful behavior patterns. Whether you're facing a temporary, difficult life situation or struggling with more long-standing problems like depression or anxiety, I can help. My style is direct and active - I don't simply nod my head while you talk. I'll listen closely, we'll work together on the problem and I'll offer you supportive, non-judgmental and practical feedback that will help you to navigate through the issue as quickly and effectively as possible.
Anxiety reduction is a central focus and specialization of my practice. Examples of areas in which I specialize include chronic work-related stress, challenges with life transitions like post-divorce adjustment, retirement, relocation, career changes,the end of a romantic relationship, and panic attacks,social anxiety and chronic worry.
I also have extensive experience in working with the stressors that are unique to teachers and with issues such as body image, self-esteem, and assertiveness and communication skills. My office is located in Monroeville in a confidential, attractive setting with free parking. I invite you to call today!
