I am a Clinical Psychologist at DMG/IPD. My goals in my practice are to get to know you and then help you with whatever concerns you, big or small, because this is your one life and I want to help you to be able enjoy it and make the most of it. I have many skills in my tool kit, one of which is humor, and our sessions will be both relaxed and productive. With these skills, I use a multi-faceted approach employing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Meditation, Relaxation/Self-Calming skills, Education about psychological matters, and EMDR for trauma and past painful memories that may contribute to anxiety and depression. Welcome! I look forward to meeting with you!
