BackGround & Approach
While I have been in private practice here in North Central Florida since 1991, I have over 40 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach (CBT), which emphasizes self-awareness and contingency planning to modify problematic behavior patterns. This approach is holistic and includes the integration of “mindfulness” into daily activities and the use of solution-focused strategies to achieve more desirable outcomes.
Areas of Specialization
I predominantly assist adults who face a wide range of challenges, from depression and anxiety, to life-adjustment and relationship issues.
In addition, I possess special expertise in the following:
Grief/loss
Parenting
Pregnancy & postpartum
Women's issues
Communication strategies
A Personal Note
I balance my professional life with many indoor and outdoor activities, including gardening, camping, and culinary exploration, as well as spending time with my family and dog, Toby.
