About
I have been in private practice in Decatur for over 15 years providing services to individuals and couples. As a psychologist, I have experience dealing with many different types of clinical issues. I have a commitment and sensitivity to issues of cultural, racial and sexual diversity.
I am a very active therapist. People would describe my style as warm, non-judgmental, and direct. I would describe my approach as both relational and eclectic in nature. I take a collaborative approach to treatment and believe therapy works when both myself and the person I am working with develop and engage in a plan for change. I believe that therapy cannot work without a strong relationship that provides safety and trust. As the relationship is established and maintained, we can get to the core issues that cause difficulties. I am eclectic in that I utilize a variety of treatment methods and techniques depending upon the needs of the person I am working with. So the tools and techniques are varied and come from many different orientations. In this way I can tailor the treatment to meet the needs of my clients.
