I am different from many therapists in at least three ways.  First I tend to be more interactive, and proactive.  Secondly while I feel that insight is very important I focus on how our work will pragmatically improve your life.  Most of all, the keystone of my practice is respectful attention to your individual differences, personal culture, and belief system.  The result is a safe environment to experiment with applying your strengths to problems in new ways  

 People looking for a psychologist are often struggling with troubles that have cropped up in their life.   Troubles can be caused by painful relationships, work environments, critical incidents, family problems, health issues, or simply feeling stuck in an unsatisfactory life.  These problems are stressful, and you may be experiencing worry or feelings of anxiety, sadness, or anger.  When these problems or feelings start interfering with your life it's time to take care of yourself.   Research and experience tell us that people can get better, and that therapy is a good investment in one’s self.
