I have been in professional psychological practice since 1979, been married 25+ years, raised 2 children and shared in raising 3 step-children, so I have many years of clinical and personal experience on which to draw. However, I am always leaning and growing, and enjoy sharing the journey of self-discovery with my clients/patients. I tailor my psychological treatment with individuals (adults, adolescents, and children), couples, and families to each person's unique situation. I utilize a variety of different treatment approaches depending on the problem presented, ranging from cognitive-behavioral, insight, family systems, to supportive reality therapy.
I use specific techniques as neede (e.g. hypnosis, Gestalt, dream interpretation, EMDR, stress managemtnt, guided imagery, visualization, art therapy, or play therapy with young children) within the context of a total treatment plan and therapeutic relationship.

Self Assessment
Sometimes the signs that can alert you to problems can be hard to
recognize because your behavior has become so familiar. Our
easy-to-take, confidential self assessment tests have been designed to
