Personal
Statement: I create a safe but challenging environment
for my patients in which they can identify and explore their issues.
I provide individuals with educational information regarding their
issues and assist them in understanding and processing this
information. I believe in the incredible power of the mind. I
believe with guidance we all have the ability to identify issues. I
believe we all have the power to change our thoughts/behaviors. I
also believe we each have the potential to heal and the capability
to rebuild. I believe psychotherapy can teach individuals how to
achieve a happy, healthy and balanced life.
I believe cognitive behavioral
therapy is the fastest and most effective style of therapy. As each
individual is unique it is often necessary to utilize techniques
from a variety of styles. I feel comfortable utilizing an eclectic
approach based upon my patient's needs.
With 8 years of experience in the
field of psychology, I specialize in treating individuals with
neurological and physical impairments. I assist individuals and
their families in dealing with adjustment issues related to brain
injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis etc. When
appropriate I have the ability to administer and interpret objective
measures.
