Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my blog. 

As a licensed psychologist I have a general clinical practice with a specialty in children, adolescents and families. One facet of this specialty is a focus on couples who are attempting to enrich a marriage or salvage a troubled relationship. After an initial evaluation my treatment is integrative, combining psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and systems approaches. Many of my clients have depression, anxiety, phobia or issues dealing with anger. Help with parenting problems and children and adolescents who have behavior problems or difficulty with school functioning is also provided. I believe in working collaboratively with clients - settings goals, evaluating our progress, and revising our direction when necessary. The treatment is pragmatic, focusing on what works and what is needed for each client. With many people I follow their lead and with others we decide that I will structure the therapy. My advanced postdoctoral training has focused on the treatment of: adults, children and families. I have supervised and trained mental health professionals for many years and have consulted for many community agencies and hospitals. 

Another specialty focus is on families undergoing a divorce. Here, a comprehensive array of services is provided, designed to contain conflict, reduce stress and limit the negative impact on the children. I also have specialized advanced training in divorce mediation, parenting coordination and collaborative divorce.
