Services

While many psychologists limit therapy to only one therapeutic framework, I combine several therapies. Not all clients benefit from the same approach. Thus, while cognitive-behavioral psychology acts as my foundation, I also use family-systems therapy as well as teach emotional and behavioral-management techniques (eg, meditation, self-hypnosis, parts-work). Clients also state they gain benefit from my focus on cultural psychology and spirituality as a means of expanding awareness, flexibility and choice. Overall, I tailor my approach to the needs of the individual. It is a short-term process that helps you overcome personal and social obstacles and initiate change.
