I am a clinical psychologist who works with kids, families and adults. I have spent my entire career working to make psychology understandable and useful to real people in their real lives. I strive to do this both in my day-to-day practice, as well as in the self help books I have written over the years. My practice is devoted to helping people as they cope with difficulties in their day-to-day lives. I try to avoid psychobabble and to take a down to earth approach to the work I do. Over the course of my career I have had many wonderful opportunities to grow as a professional. I have written a number of self help books, and designed a day treatment camp program for kids with ADD/ADHD that has been run in at least four cities across the country. As an Air Force psychologist I learned how to bring psychology to men and women serving our country in stressful and dangerous ways, and how to accomplish my mission with the resources at hand.

Mind-body therapies can support the mind’s ability to affect body functions and can reduce and even cure anxiety, depression, chronic illness, pain, and associated symptomatology. Every person’s situation is unique, and the psychotherapy approach should reflect this. It requires a partnership between the patient and the provider and encompasses factors such as the patient’s social, cultural, and environmental factors. Developing personalized treatment plans empowers patients to work at their own pace toward their full potential.

I have extensive postdoctoral education/training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, through the Oklahoma Society for Psychoanalytic Studies and the Greater Kansas City Psychoanalytic Institute. I am currently a candidate in psychoanalysis at the New School for Existential Psychoanalysis in San Francisco. My approach to therapy is thus basically psychodynamic/psychoanalytic. While most other approaches to therapy are focused on symptom relief, this approach is more depth-oriented and focused on promoting greater self-understanding and more lasting change. Therapy of this sort tends to be of longer duration and is more challenging in some ways, but when successful, the results are deeper and more permanent. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and older (school-aged) children. Although the bulk of my work is in individual therapy, I am also available for couples therapy. When feasible, I can provide psychological testing & diagnostic assessment.

As an experienced Psychotherapist, I'm passionate about helping people to become their best version of themselves by focusing on a new perspective of self awareness and understanding of yourself and others: "If you can't change the problem, change the way you view it ".
