Philosophy:
As a clinical psychologist, I strive to provide treatment plans that fit the individual characteristics and needs of my clients. Each person is different and cannot be defined by a diagnosis; therefore, treatment must be tailored to one's presenting needs, individual life circumstances, and current level of distress. Active participation (collaboration) is encouraged--the likelihood and the magnitude of improvement increases if patients are actively involved in their own treatment..
