Evidence-Based Approach

Why? Because it works. My therapeutic approach is both compassionate and change-oriented, with a focus on developing new ways of thinking, behaving and responding to emotions, providing clients with practical skills that can be used in the real world. 

CORE VALUES

  • Science

    I track progress with validated measures and adjust plans quickly— no guess-work, no fad therapies.

  • Compassion

    Every session begins with empathy; judgment stays at the door.

  • Commitment

    Your goals become our shared roadmap until you tell me you’ve arrived.
