About My Clients
It is not easy to take the first step, to trust a stranger with your story, your feelings and thoughts. Perhaps you have done that before, and perhaps it even was helpful, to a point. You have that courage to address your concerns because you are considering contacting me. I am honored to work in partnership with people. Because you are an individual, cookie-cutter approaches will not suffice. We will map out the path to achieve your goals together.
My Background and Approach
I employ a strengths-based focus that builds on competencies. Although I have a strong background in behavior and cognitive-behavioral approaches, I adopt a holistic, eclectic perspective to be responsive to the unique needs of the person I am working with. I have practiced as a school psychologist for over 20 years, working with adolescents and their families. I am trained in behavior analysis, with experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities. I obtained masters degrees in both School and Clinical/Behavioral Psychology, and a doctorate in Psychology. I have obtained certificates of training in Mindfulness, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Behavior Analysis and Addictive Behavior.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I aim to provide a relaxed, supportive environment in our virtual sessions. A main goal I set will be assist you in addressing your main concerns in a manner that resonates with you, to empower you to trust yourself as an agent of change. Whether that means you would benefit from gaining skills to acquire a sense of mastery, or are seeking meaning and perspective in your circumstance; truly, It is the human condition that unites us all.
