| In
a nutshell: I'm sincere, open and non-judgmental, and adept at putting
my patients--men, women, teens, children and couples--at ease. With respect, compassion and humor, I
will help you discuss your challenges, understand
your obstacles, and develop the resources to overcome
them.
My specialty is getting to the heart of your issues quickly:
understanding the cause of your problems and the symptoms and conflicts
that result, and knowing how best to help you work through them.I work with you, integrating a
wide range of traditional and state of the art therapeutic techniques to provide
the most effective treatment plan for your needs. While I address core issues, I also strive to provide
quick, practical solutions, and to use your time and resources as
efficiently as possible.
I
help people heal old wounds, work through their painful emotions, and overcome their negative patterns and
self-destructive behavior. I strive to help them decrease stress and conflict and increase communication, intimacy and sexuality with loved ones. I
teach parents to
understand their children and teens behavior and learn strategies to help them improve; and I help teens to better understand and communicate with their parents, and to use good judgement in navigating the challenges of their social environment and this difficult and confusing time of life. I
also promote mind/body health and spirituality, and seek to improve
balance, joy and harmony in families and intimate
relationships.
Outside
of my practice, I served as President of the Contra Costa Chapter of
the California Psychological Association for two years and have served on
the Board of Directors for 10 years. In January, 2009, I received a
Diamond Award for my "Outstanding Service to the Profession of Psychology" from CCPA.
